the paperwhites by the kitchen sink have bloomed they think I don’t see them bending stems peeking out the window I know they are watching for you they rub dainty blossoms on glass mindless of the cold chuckle in excitement as you round the corner listen for you to open the door ...and call to me long legged eavesdroppers I’ve a mind to cut them off at the stems put an end to their voyeurism but who can blame them when you hold me that way even I want to watch perhaps I will leave them if they allow me room at the window |

quite captivating. seems like the speaker's anthropomorphic view of the flowers provides a buffer between her and her loneliness. I really like the poem. thanks for posting it. MORE POEMS, PHOTOPOEMS, AND AUDIO VERSIONS AT http://anthonyarmstrong.multiply.com |

From one Lady to another, you have a way of making the act of eavesdropping a very pleasant experience. |
