About This Poem

The Spindle Spins for a doll's hour glass figure

Destiny spins a yarn threading A fibre through time To string up time on the wall or Embedded in an hour glass well propotioned An equal upper and a lower half Like a doll A well defined waist Fate caught in a glass jar flowing relentlessly, unstoppable Moments held under supervision in A place called the four walls A house or a home Putty in whose hands A yarn is spun on a drop spindle To coat a collectible that has sensibilities Ceaselessly toyed with Molded, branded, burned with The stamp of chauvinistic masochism In this state of doom, time stands still. Tears prick the back of eyelids The prick of needle oozes blood Rubbed with shifting, sifting sands Little time granules freeze for that one moment But glory evades.

    excellent writing here, yasmin, strong opening lines, a little surreal, a slightly different direction for you but one that I like very much; if I were judging I would place this very high indeed...
