Constanza

I don’t need the flowers, vases Sure they’re pretty on the table But they’re proof we live a fable Trips to warm, exotic places Could bring the love that we let go Back to us; we can take it slow All I want are your embraces Let’s try a few, to remember Where we were, just last September I know you’ve been other places - I’m asking you to give them up A year’s gone by, a year too much With them around, I am faceless Please try to see me, here, instead Rekindle this love; leave their beds I don’t need the flowers, vases Trips to warm, exotic places All I want are your embraces I know you’ve been other places - With them around, I am faceless 8/31/12

Susan, Congratulations on your placement in Andrea’s “Can you Constanza? Contest.” There were so many really amazing entries we had a very difficult time deciding. We had to go by who followed the form best, and whose poem was most creative. I spent 4 and half hours going over the poems and Andrea, a lot longer. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry Mahalo, Connie

SUsan, what I liked most about your entry was the "realness" of it. How it has such a modern feel to it. I especially loved those lines like "we live a fable" and the raw feeling expressed in that third stanza. Congrats on your win in my contest. Luv, Andrea
