An Eye For A Dime

An Eye For A Dime

A Poem by Frantzou
"

Would you shed your true color to make it?

"






























Behind the [GOLDEN] screen they stand unseen


I get on the HOT seat bluntly


 The applause expend creating a scene


Shedding my true color, forlorn of all hopes


Painless I shed deeper…Deeper to the crust…


I look around in despair but nothing is there


The applause stop!


They turn away


Now the PAIN begins…

Author's Note

Frantzou
Women sacrifice their bodies just to make a world that doesn’t give a crap about them happy. When they have nothing left to offer the world, It will turn its back on them, then pain will begin.

this is a complex poem though it is simply written. You are very correct about how the world see many women. I don't want to be remember for my beauty. I want to be remember for my creativity, my poems, my love, my kindness, my uniqueness, my sarcastic spunky fiery side. Thank you for writing this poem. It was wonderfully done.

I enjoyed the poem. Nicely written, loved the art and the title. Again, I'm really curious as to who the artist behind the picture is. To be honest, I didn't get a woman vibe from your poem at all. I think anyone can feel emotions like this and this poem really said some things to me. I really like it. Although I think it would have been just as powerful, expressive and as intense without all the fancy font work.

I honestly love all of the artwork that you choose to compliment your pieces as they always work beautifully together. I enjoyed your play with the font and color, even if making the word "hot" red was a little cliché. :P Regardless, a good poem with a strong message.

The pictures you choose to go along with your writing are just as intriguing as your work, this picture and poem go together very well. As for the poem itself I like the topic and your passion but with out the "authors note" to me anyway it would have been hard to decipher the root of the poem.

Anyway as always I enjoyed the poem because your words do still flow with purpose and affection.

Excellent job. Along with the picture, this is a gruesome piece.

You're very right about how women are seen, once their beauty starts to fade they began to fade from the world's eyes. Another nicely done poem.

About
My style of writing poetry is a little different. My poems mostly inspired by photography, and music. A picture is worth a thousand words and I love find the words within the photo. Frantzou Fleur.. more..
