She Bruises Easily

Written pre deletion day. December 2007.

She bruises easily

 

 

Tender,

but never weak.

Fine,

but not brittle.

 

 

Misjudgement is everywhere,

Argue with your ignorance.

 

 

Hope,

she gives openly.

Take,

she ignores pleasantly.

 

 

Cruelty plagues her daylight,

Warm tears hide in night rain.

 

 

Compassion,

speckles her thoughts.

Kindness,

Skips in her veins.

 

 

A lost soul to the cold winds,

She fights on your behalf.

 

 

Her,

broken but still fighting.

She,

damaged but not done.

 

 

Her soul is wounded but not dead,

but the scars run so very deep.

Powerful imagery and words ....

[Raef C. Boylan]

Lots of interesting imagery in this piece; gets the reader thinking.
My break is nearly over, so gotta make this review a quickie.

"Argue with your ignorance" - should there be a full stop at the end of this?

"Theres plague in daylight," (There's)

I liked the hesitant tone that you created with the "Her," and "She," etc.
Good piece. Thanks for posting it.

[An Ordinary Woman]

Very nicely done. It reminds me of an old song but i cannot remember its title.

Her,
broken but still fighting.
She,
damaged but not done.
Wounded but not dead,
the scars run so very deep.... wonderful contrast, a delightful read.

[O!]

Well MC you are a very good poet. You open with the them, Tender but never weak...and carry the contrast through the poem. Nicely done.

Your poem represents many men and women. We poets and writers are often sensitive types who must learn to survive in a world where we must live in the storm naked.

Good job.

you are stronger than you think my lady!!

I could really relate to this, excellent use of words and imagery! Enjoyed it much I did, I did.

This is a very good and deep piece you've chosen to step back in with. So many emotions all rolled up into this one poem, so many thoughts and pieces.

"Compassion,
speckles her thoughts.
Kindness,
Skips in her veins."

So very true of you... well written.

So many emotions and hurt, yet never done, i feel there is so much more to give...
some roads are hard to travel, and this piece of a battle where you have come out, still standing, but so hurt,
loved the details and could relate so much, beautifully written.
