Girl in Hiding
moving statue
an almost beautifully choreographed dance
stumbling around and around
she wobbles in her five inch stilettos
her knees collide with hard granite
and laying in pain, undeserving
pretty dress artfully arranged
on the cold marble floor
she preens into a tiny mirror
still beautiful
girls find your place
father looms, his nearness causes subtle hairs
to stand
save face
kiss his lips and dance\beautiful girls
blanket your pain with sweet smelling flowers
empty eyes, window for an empty head
mirrors show these child like reflections
childhood obsessions
grown out of filth, smothered with rot
she blooms into a beautiful shell
with nothing inside her
Any comments on kindof dark poem? its a rough draft..suggestions would be great and much appriecated?
This is a good poem-in my opinion. I don't want to recommend u change too much about it-as it's your art, not my own. However, I think that the message might be better received with more creative word choices.
"Wobbles" and "rot" are words that I personally would deter from using simply because they don't seem to add to the flow of the rest of the poem, to me. wobbles is a little bit on the edge of slang, to me-and rot ...hard to pin it-but I would have used "decay"
These are my own personal critiques-but I do really like this poem, and don't change anything you like, it's your art : )
