Kimmy Thieleke Poet Free verse

Covered Loveless

 Shhhhhh.. 


take a minute
to listen..

it's faint 
sorta like 

a whisper

can you hear it?

there's a child 
crying
in the distance

just out of reach
a futile existence

without the assistance
of its mother

covered 
loveless..

born to perform 
in the chior 
of quiet angels

humming hope
choked

by fairytales...

i wish I could read her
a story
calmly comb her hair back
gently lift her chin

i would tell her
that worth doesn't come
in a bottle 
that monsters get scared too
and mommy was just

born broken

 

but

 

 

 

 

 


I can't seem to find that child anymore

Justin Bordner February 11, 2013 at 2:38 PM You got a style worth knowing Kimmy - the concept in the title of this work alone is fulfulling - you employ one of my favorite poetic instruments exceedingly well, alliteration, or caydance - I appreciate what you are reckoning - this is beautiful political poetry, and therefore spiritual - J.A.B. %

Rockman Pritts February 10, 2013 at 10:38 PM Born to perform in the choir of quiet angels. That is beyond profound. You have a definate talent. I could spout lectures on structure and form and everything of the sort. But you are doing one thing right. You are being you. And that is all that counts. Keep it up because it's very good.

Wayland Bunch February 10, 2013 at 10:01 PM First of all I want to thank you for your comment. Secondly, I'm fairly n Iew to this place myself, but there are some wonderful writers that are helpful and inspiring. I have only been writing a little over a year. I've written more poems here in two months than the previous year. It helps being around great writers. I liked this poem, it's sad, but well written. Nice job.
