Seamstress

Seamstress

A Poem by Riley Mistwood

Upon her work table there is a box

wiith needles and thread and a rusty lock

 

Remembering the conversations they have had

the hurtful words that stung so bad

 

The broken heart and fractured mind

all those words had left behind

 

 

She starts to work so feverishly

upon her brand new masterpiece

 

Her fingers moving nimbly

the thread picked out  so carefully

 

Oh the horrible words that have been said

so through his mouth she pulls her thread

 

She sews his mouth up nice and tight

remembering those dreadful nights

 

Forever silenced he shall be

Her masterpiece of broken dreams

Intriguing with a wonderful twist at the end. Great visual too, how I've wished to do this so often. Nice write.

Whimsical rhyming complimented by a certain medieval poignancy that gives the poem a heartaching quality to it, and ends with on a sorrowful, morbid note that gives it a chilling character by the end.

I loved the ending! You tied it together so well and you had a great flow throughout the entire piece. Well done!

I love your poetic flow. The last two stanza were very dramatic and a strong end. Nice work.
