Jagged

Jagged

edges bleed

silver linings

when fingers are

free to touch the stars;

Jagged

edges build

diamond pillars

when vision breaks

loose beyond the scars.

    Liked the look of this poem. But we definitely need to send some global warming your way before you turn into a big creamsicle! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Profound poem.

    I’m totally captivated by the first half, Melody–and am seeing it at the beginning of a book…it’s startlingly good, and full of hope.

    • melodylowes says:

      Aw, thanks so much. Any ideas for the second half, then??

      • Caddo Veil says:

        I wondered if I should say more than I did–whether you might think my phrasing reflected negatively on the 2nd half. That wasn’t my intent–I only felt that the first part was so incisive that it stands alone. And I had an immediate vision of it on the page before a book’s story opens…does that help at all?

      • melodylowes says:

        I just thought you may have had ideas to make it stronger. I’m not the least bit offended – just interested in honing my craft, getting editorial comments from someone whose opinions I trust. I think I’m ready to start getting more serious about my writing… What do you think?

      • Caddo Veil says:

        Oooh, go for it, Mel–you know I’m behind you ALL the way!!!

    Another one that give me hope, Melody! Thank you and God bless you!
