Rambling Prose

A Concise Summary

 

I am often judged by my appearance,

   sometimes hard, yet others soft.

 

Within I am mysteriously wise...

 

  I am humor, I am love,

     I share kindness,

         I  shed blood.

 

            I lend comfort

         I cause pain.

 

        I've given life

   and yet I've maimed...

 

You have taken me to your bed,

        from my pages

            you have read,

 

   Literary prose...am I ~ book

 

 

 

Author's Note

In between the pages of a book, there is so much diversity.

I adore this poem. It has an enchanting quality about it.

"I am humor
I am love
I share kindness
I shed blood
I Lend comfort
and cause pain"

I find beauty and elegance in the simplicity of this poem. It is not overstated, yet, it says it all.

Come on little poem, you are going into my favorites.

[Poetic Injustice]

And yet I still wonder if there's a correlation meant and if there's something somewhat autobiographical in the content. Again ... nicely done.

I liked this poem! And it's visually nice as well. Keep it up!

If a book could talk, it wouldn't want to say more. You've said all there is to say.

[Damien Dsoul]

Never judge a good book by its cover: within lurks a whole world, and I guess this poem of yours certainly makes that fact worldly known.

[Who among Fire]

This flows well. Lovely to read & savor.

[Becca]

I love this! Your words read like a satin sheet.

[DrumMajorPod]

I love this poem. .< Sorry. Anyway, I really love how you *think* you know what the poem is about and then find out otherwise. I thought the poem was referring to a friend. It kinda makes sense, if you think about it. But anyway.. I really enjoyed it. You're talented. =]

[Rhine Wolf]

love the riddle feel to this poem! and how true your "Author's Note" is!

[Mark Pearce]

I like the withheld identity.

I've done a few works like that myself. It's like opening a new treasure at the end.
