The Worth of a Miser's Daughter

THE WORTH OF A MISER’S DAUGHTER

total exposure upon a couch, soiled in gold -
a thing to be used, a miser’s daughter.
he’d not thought her of any worth.
she quivers behind a mask.

at first – a blood red moon
floated past her window.
she cares no more for the blue
sky nor clouds nor dress

her soul cringes behind the pale moon mask

Cyndi Macmillan September 13, 2016 at 8:55 PM OOh, love the ambiguity... tight read, good imagery and I especially LOVED the line break at blue! Really works. Cheers, Cyndi Kim Rodrigues September 13, 2016 at 9:31 PM Thank you, Cyndi! :)
