Talia - A Day To Ponder

The perfect remedy for a horrid day1

A pillow, some chocolate & wine2

I sat pondering this last week’s events3

And counting down the time4

I received the call this morning5

They couldn't afford to pay me6

So I packed my belongings7

And finally walked free8

Yet I found myself staring9

At a coffee smudged card10

Sincere eyes plagued my mind11

Forgetting them was hard12

But back to the pressing matters13

No job and no love14

Depressing thoughts15

Unanswered prayers to up above16

Suddenly I felt a sting17

Blood trickled down my hand18

A paper cut marred my skin19

Damn that card from that man20

That man, with those eyes21

The ones that consumed my mind22

And that voice, oh his voice23

So sincere and so kind24

Dreaming into the day25

Thinking about this man26

Joshua, such a sweet name27

As I take the phone to my hand28

  • I really liked this. It gave a refreshingly new view on that subject. I really liked your descriptions, and the paper cut. That was my favorite part . Great job!

    Amazing... Very sweet and sincere. I liked the papercut touch... Extremely clever, and nicely written, with good imagery and a superb range of vocabulary. Keep writing, this was brilliant!

    a good flow of words. and an unsusual way of adressing an overused topic. I like the affect in both of the poems of yours I have read. keep writing.

    beginning: 2, language: 3, plot: 1, ending: 3, characters: 2.

    I like something about the way this is writen - maybe it's that it rhymes, but it doesn't (I mean you don't notice it much).
    And it's like a story - an intrigueing introduction, to hook the reader so he has to read more.

    Well the tale is twisting into quite a masterpiece. the coin seems to be spinning the same way. Another great installment.
    It took awhile but, time breeds brilliance.
    Nice one Nikki.
