Domino girl
you're just a little too
emotional.
[I know what this
can/already has lead to].
It's just a movie,
underneath a starry
never ending
hell.
[Where is my universe
going?]
Hurryhurry/hurry[not fast enough].

Intention is what
it all boils down to.
And though the pills are
out of reach,
I do have a doctorate
in saving grace.

Don't cry,
don't protest,
just sit back

and relax.

[But lace up boots
were all the rage!]

What did I tell you,
Domino girl?

It's just a movie.

.... A very good poem. Thank you for sharing.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.

As I said- Brilliant.

I love the way you're always able to bring about so many different voices to your poems.  I mean, I know that there's always another voice in people's heads, but I know I cant, for the life of me, bring them out onto paper.
There's a lot of depth to this, not just in the various voices, but the story it tells too. I loved this...

Are you scared?                              BOO! Are you now?

================================

I wish I had the words to tell you
how your words just took mine away....
soul poetry...at its finest.

No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ...
and I never saw blue like that before.

Jen~
You already know that I love this.  I'm just
a little slow getting to my replies..LOL.
Seriously though, I honestly love reading your
poetry because it always makes me think.
Yours is not poetry that one can just breeze through
without feeling it, and that makes great poetry.
Very nicely done, Jen.
Hugs,
~Vicky
