10 words poems.

just words

                     Nude

You leave me breathless,

with nothing to hide,

evening perfection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    Wildflowers

The wildflowers are jealous,

with you near,

become less beautiful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               Painted memories

I wrote on skin,

I painted secret words,

on yearning skin.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Kiss and touch

White lies, black lies.

We gave everything,

Payment due,

love forever.

I thought I reviewed this collection already. I love ten word contests. They make us strip away all the fluff and create pure image and or emotion, which you have done here.
My favorite maybe the last however if not that one the first is a photo finish second.

Thank you you Cherrie. I am glad you liked. I appreciate the comment.

These are fantastic. Keeping poems short and succinct is something I really struggle with, and you've done a marvelous job of compacting large topics into tiny works of art! I would say the repetition of 'skin' in the third poem is a little jarring, but I think it's use in the first line could be easily substituted with something equally poignant, maybe 'I wrote with fingers'??? Beautiful, powerf1ul work nonetheless!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Patrick and I agree. Hard to write meaningful short poems and thank you for the help. I appreciate the comment.

[Avelina Devi]

These short poems remind me of Haiku, is that what you were aiming for?
Regardless, beautiful words you have used here to describe the titles.

This is the perfect collection of short poems. They all go together well & also stand alone well. The nice thing about such poems -- they are thought-provoking, conjuring up lots of additional ideas from the reader's imagination (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Coyote, you have stripped away the flesh and have left us with the verbal bare bones with your beautiful words expressing raw emotion. Absolutely fantastic write.

I encourage you to continue with your writing. :-)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Tamara. I will keep writing the shorter poetry.

[Tamara Beryl Latham]

No, do not limit yourself to one type of poetry.
Become proficient in all forms. If you don't like rhyming, then write free verse, hakus, senyrus, etc.

Best,
