Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

Her Dark Facade

She wears
a dark façade -
a charcoal grey
once hot like burning coals.
Consumed by too much passion
she was scorched.

Too long
she has smoldered.
Her dark façade
is cold now. . . and brittle.
She fears that if you touch her
she’ll crumble.

Matthew Horstkotter January 4, 2013 at 4:35 PM Very good read.

Phyllis Babcock November 11, 2012 at 11:46 AM expresses the hurt and as they say wears her heart on her sleeve. If scorned not hard to become cold and brittle if you let it. Love the way you try all these forms so wish I had more time but as you know so limited now. I guess you are the same. Thinking of you and hope things have improved. love phyl

Kabuteng P.Ink K. November 1, 2012 at 11:11 AM I really enjoyed this one, Andrea! I find it so great how you related all those colors and worked around it for your poem-- it comes as so descriptive for me-- from the colors, to the burning coals crumbling-- loved your last two lines here! I think you ended it perfectly-- I sure wish this places high! How are you this week?? I hope all is well and hugs to you, sweetie!
