Red Dress

by The Queen of Spades   Apr 23, 2007


In my red dress
I'm invincible
Can't you see
I have wings
So pretty
They look so lovely
Against the tears
In my torn dress
It's ripped now...
Where did the shards go?
My hair is battered
Each strand slipping
Away from me
Seeping into the ground
I'm becoming one
With the Earth
Mixed with the veins
That stains the dirt
Or is it the glitter
That has fallen off
My invisible dress
It was once red
Crimson, roan, vermilion
Rose, apple, blood
Various shades
Assorted lives
My red dress will live on
Though not on me
Through the land
On and on.

    Wow, this is a crazy poem. I liked it though. I can see you wrote it from hate. It was good. 5/5

    Unusual yet cool. Dark yet great. It holds some great imagery and the metaphorical way it's done makes it even better. The beginning is a little shaky start but it progresses smoothly to the end which I found quite interesting. Not my ideal poem but nice nevertheless.
