water works

Droplets fall from my window sill.
They well up at the bottom of engorged red cliffs.
Giving way'¦. they slide.
Over the hills.
Instead of pooling they drain in a steady stream
Staining the front of my satin gown

Well, pain seems to be in many of our writings here because I believe many of us have trouble expressing it (or an unwillingness) in our real lives. Hence, we cry it out loud in our writing. JMO.

You do it well, and keep doing it. I can identify with so many of your images and metaphor, this one in particular. Great work! T. xo

You write "miniatures" well. I can always sense the person behind the poem. I hope you'll do more of them.

very sad but terrific. I love the imagery that kept me guessing. Your brevity is powerful and says alot about your maturity as a writer. Keep writing

I will take real life and pain any day over a poem that talkes about things that should be a show for the twilight zone. Which brings me to my point. Your poems are very touching because they are real and vunerable. I have a lot of respect for that because I know it is not always easy. Well written.**

The brevity adds to this piece. In 39 words, you say everything you need to.
