Dressed to Kill

by Idiosyncratic   Jun 20, 2007


A rhythm is heard
A stilettoed heel
A tapping toe
Merciless kills

A counting off
Timed reprieves
A last regret
Bloody sleeves

A twisted hate
Longing Scorn
A yielding glance
As hatred is born

A painted pair
Of curving lips
A clicking tap
Of bloody fingertips

A blinking gaze
Reminding eyes
An untold truth
Beyond those lies

A calming lure
Glittering fate
A last run home
To shake the hate

    You write this genre of poetry very well, once again I was amazed but the imagery the words put into my head. As I read each line I could see it all playing out like a movie. Once again excellent job 5/5 keep up the fantastic work GG23

    WEll I am really loving the way you wrote in a thematic way

    the fourth line of each para is gr8

    my fav para would be

    A blinking gaze
    Reminding eyes
    An untold truth
    Beyond those lies

    the other good thing about the poem is that you have started, given it direction and ended it as well.
    YOu must keep writing
    5/5

    This poem was very descriptive. The word choice was great, and it flowed well, with only one or two parts where it seemed rough

    A counting off
    Timed reprieves
    A last regret
    Bloody sleeves

    Those would have to be my favorite lines! =)

    Keep it up! 5/5
