Dance the Sycamore

Her partisan skin melted to a grey pale paste Debauched in glory and Moaning Lisa when she gave up the ghost for skin weaved under the light of a Venus beam mounted the demon hill and lay a backhand on my throat The universal untold and unfoldeth by chance we are a million miles into the dance A hungry mongrel child - Atlas’ apprentice Dancing Moaning Lisa in silver gown rolls herself and nowhere to lay my baldy head She reigns underneath the sycamore for a speck of dust in her eye lies

Niall,, 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 <-@
