    Stuck {Featuring Willow}

    stuck...somewhere between a cerebral caress and thickened arreststill able to slurp up those midnight thoughts... that naughty...caught with no panties...squirming in the dark...in need of heavy-handed mannerismsbranded by a familiar brashness as shadows cast on pulsing wallsdancing to remembered throbslight strobing...curiosity probing...holding...

    Diamond in the Rough

    I didn't grow up with privilege have hard edges from growing up in hard places and those that don't know me act so cocky towards me always giving my all yet I still get looked down on never good enough for society  a fighter settling for...

    I Got No Body

    I got no body oh no no hands, no fingers, or toes I'm broken up and will be for forever (forever) lost in limbo I feel quite transparent everyone sees right through me might as well be part of the air because I got no body no body to meet...

    • I’m hugely impressed with your understanding of poetic element.
      So, you are Richard the Rascal. Let me put that down. This is another amazing piece with emphasis on personification and symbolism. There’s obviously a metaphorical significance to the changing season, specifically fall to winter. It’s interesting to note that while you give leaves many characteristics of humans in this piece, they lack the unique capacity for understanding… at least, that’s the perspective of the speaker. Your final stanza is a fantastic summation.

      This is top shelf material, Richard.
      xoxo

      • Graciously spake, Dear Poetess🥂

        Your coaxing words are sweet as honeysuckle to a hopeful bard’s susceptible ear … most especially, from one so poetically accomplished and sophisticated as yourself.
        A few devices I tend to favor are color, texture, analogy, simile, and nature … I’m so pleased you’ve recognized their presence in this rather poignant little piece.

        Thank you ever-so warmly, Lady DK, for your always welcomed accolades! ⁓ Richard the Rascal🖌

    • Hi, M’Good Friend! ✌🏼

      How great it is, Tim, to be greeted here with one of your appreciatively expressed and inspiringly encouraging reviews, that always seems to grasp my poetry’s core essence.
      Yes, like You, I tend to enjoy a good dose of metaphoric imagery in my pieces.

      Thank you, Syr, for enjoying this rather sad Free Verse piece! ⁓ Rascal🖌

      PS: On your recommendation, I had to check the site out … do you know how one edits their poetry?
