Sharp Ivory Brushes

Sharp ivory brushes my torso Pain, but pleasure’s persistent A flash of boredom that coinsides With Saliva and other Suspitions. Answers lay just beyond Splashes of color and Juxtaposed likenesses My squealing snout hides me And my pink flesh exposes But covered with fiery illusion From days in a ring of fire My voice illudes as inconceivable As it is I illogically continue Desbite negative notions Thrashing in dark waters A serpent lies in wait Biding time, to set me straight

Top o the day to you, Sarah, and welcome to poetry soup. Don't know what other websites u have written for or shared your poetry but I believe you will find this a lovely new home! Personification is very tricky and I often have to work at it intensely..could u tell me what object is being personified bc I am a lil slow to catch on. Love some of your phrases..well, let me know. Have a warm and sunny day. Finally NO RAIN! Gwendolen
