Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Heirloom

HEIRLOOM

Unearthliness of this endless wood of colorless shadows.
I’m encompassed by the condemnation of prison bars
in the shape of ancient bark. I’m hidden where time slows
in constant consternation of wolves and diminutive stars.
The apathy of skeleton branches mocks the reverence of red.
I’m wrapped in my great-grandmother’s heirloom - its lure I dred.
My countenance cold and pale with the predilection of scars.

Michelle Faulkner November 5, 2018 at 2:11 PM Was this inspired by Little Red Riding Hood? This makes me think of it in a 'Grimm' gothic way! Kim Rodrigues November 5, 2018 at 2:31 PM Yes!

Tom Cunningham November 3, 2018 at 11:10 AM Brilliantly written Kim, using the seven words. Good luck. Tom Kim Rodrigues November 3, 2018 at 11:13 AM Thanks, my fine friend!
