It seems that that's where I'm heading... can't help but try to not let that happen to me.

I enjoyed the read.

Larry, this is an awesome write! I love the story you wove about this woman-almost invisible to the world yet almost a superhero in her own poems. Really cool!

Hello Larry,

A well told poem that most of us can relate to, even if this is an amplified version. Although having thought about it being a member of a buzzing poetry site doesn't fit. Lol

Great story of a superhero type persona; where by day she disguises herself, making her image merge into the society background. Then each night she removes her spectacles, loosens up and shakes out her hair, pouts in slow motion for the camera, before sitting at a writing desk.

An enjoyable and well written poem.

Take care,

Michael

Wow wow wow.

Why can't we nominate on Saturdays!? UGH.

Larry, such a sad story of a person going unnoticed.

You description and imagery is wonderful

Em

Basically a human being who is unnoticed by the world and by the surrounding she is in. Yet she puts herself inside each of her writing and makes her self noticed by everyone and everything-been invincible by been the woman she wants to be.

A relate-able write by all...it takes me back to the past..touching.

Fantastic write

As you read, you can feel the existence of this very interesting lady. The reader becomes a part of the write! well done.

Hello Larry,

I absolutely loved this - well done, a good write.

Take care,

Michael

Larry congratulations on your win :)

Congratulations on your well deserved win. Excellent write. Sorry didn't get a chance to comment before. Very insightful portrayal of an unnoticed woman. Loved the story with the reveal that she may not be dynamic in her life but she is very much so in her poetry. Take care Milly x

Thanks to you all, not simply for the congrats, but for the feed-back comments. They are invaluable and appreciated.

Congrats on the win Larry

very much deserved

Larry, congratulations on your win! Well done!

I pictured Emily Bronte. Exquisite poem. You created an entire human being, interesting and complex in all her simplicity.

She has a keyboard which makes no sound
her speakers are always off;
she has foam soled shoes,
wears plain cotton dresses
that never rustle when she walks.

This captured me.

Glad this won...otherwise I may have missed it because I've been "Jamesinaing" once again :) I wonder about the Emily thingy because when I read it my first thoughts were Eleanor as in Eleanor Rigby, it just so reminded me of this very sad person that The Beatles portrayed many years ago. So glad it was a winner and therefore was highlighted for me to find...Congrats on your win...very well deserved...

Congrats on the Win!!

Only just found this. I was drawn to it by the title, of my daughter's name. What a beautifully unassuming piece. Glad I read it ;-) x
