A dusty embrace

Albert's Poetry Caf� ~ Tovli's Ten Word Contest - USING ALL TEN WORDS, WRITE A TEN LINE POEM: EARTH/ LISTEN/ READING/ BOOK/ THINGS/ HUMAN/ EYES/ PEEKED/ ETERNAL/ REITERATED

 

Listen, there are reiterated times

I would even accept things like a hug

From the eternal hanging sleeves

Of any human empty shirt

Or something more down to earth

Like the wet kiss of a drop of rain

Or let bits of sand peeked by winds

Involve me with a dusty embrace

 

I fill up these days reading round words

With eyes in a dreamy book, yours or mine!

 

Author's Note

I�m not too sure if the word "reiterated" is well used in this sentence� repeated� in Portuguese we could use it�

I went back and read this poem again and you know what? I like it even more the second time!

Absolutely beautiful. I like your style -- the ease of the read, yet with depth.

"I fill up these days reading round words
With eyes in a dreamy book, yours or mine!"

Perfect ending... bravo!

Beautifully expressed, Angi! Hugs, Sharon

[Salvatore Buttaci]

I fill up these days reading round words

The above is a beautiful line! You write so well.

"Reiterated times" means the times are said again. It's fine.
