Collared

Cold silver encircles my throat hard and unforgiving and engraved the weight, a daily reminder and the inscription telling me that my value lies at zero, free for taking. Property. It rests now at the bottom of the sea. Tightly woven cord encircles my throat the colours of he and I and made by his hand as a daily reminder that my value has no figure high enough, cost beyond measure. Gift. I am folded into the scent of his embrace.

Phe,,,,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
