Ars Poetica - by Lily

A Coin in her Mouth

July 29th 2007 05:01
burying copies of myself
i dig up bones
of a small girl
who used to build castles
out of twigs
poked into the ground

Lily,

I love this one.

You really are a master of the short poem. (Why say more than a few words, when a few say so much). I really do like your short poems.

I'm curious about the title. Are we talking wishes here?

David ...

Women like us will always be little girls building castles out of twigs, even if we forget that about ourselves sometimes.

Love your poetic style.
