In an upside-down garden

0 posted 2003-01-02 07:24 PM


she sits there, tears in her eyes,
looking at the rings on her fingers.
Promised.  He promised.
Has he forgotten? She feels forgotten
lost in the mess, like a lima bean
stuck in a bag of potatoes.
Never be promised, she says,
twirling the ring around her finger,
its like happiness in a mud puddle
and she's drowning.
so far stuck that she can't reach out
quicksand hearts can't be fought with.
Promise you love me more... please.
promise i'm the prettiest one.... please.
Promise to love me forever, she cries,
but never be promised.

there shall be more later, I'm just too depressed to write right now.

Love the lima bean in a sack of potatoes line.  Awesome, really.  

The transition from poem to plea is also well-done... if you're going to add to this one like you say, I guess I'll have to keep checking back.

It's amazing the effect ice can have on the world.

Very Very good... All good poems create feelings in the reader... which this does extremely well.. Unfortunately, it's not a feeling anyone seeks... I'm sorry you've fallen into it.

I too love the Lima Bean line.
