White silk

It's covered in thorns

Thick and black

Not even a red tone

Can cover its back

Even with the sun so bright

There's something behind us

Trying to bite

Whatever it is, it's there

But there's at least one thing

When you touch it

At least it's covered

lace, with white silk

we can try to ignore things from the past - sometimes not too well and they thicken like scars when we cover them up or ignore them - sometimes we can do it so well that, like an oyster that envelopes a single piece of grit with solidifying mucus, - we can even up with a pearl - but they are always there, come rain, hail or shine.

Limno, This is a pretty good piece, but in my opinion the fourth line in the second stanza, "Whatever it is, it's there" is very awkward, as if you couldn't think of a good line and tried to shoehorn that line in its place. Otherwise a well-written poem. take care...dan

Hello :) I can say that I really like the imagery here. It's very important that a reader would be able to visualize the images in the poem, otherwise it would be one huge blur. So, hats off for being able to do that with just a few lines! :)

Hopefully the silk is kevlar strong since those thorns sound bad. Nice imagery.

I am not going to be so bold as to say that I have this figured out. But, there is a chance. The poem was east to read and still hid its mystery.

First of all the imagery. It is a pretty tough deed to describe something that's why writers with descriptive works are usually the most popular. Making the reader see it, individually, independently is one major deal signed. You prospered well in it. Apart from that your message comes off twisting and sparkling. Brilliant piece.

Please check out my new poem too :)
