infatuation

You somehow thought I was

Made out of

Alligator skin and

Reptilian blood

You somehow didn't find

Sad smiles and crooked teeth

A flaw

Lol .. Crooked teeth? Ha! It makes me smile .. Anyway, Nice poem .. Umm .. Yeah, not that bad, it`s good to read, Sweety.

The phrase "you are perfect to me" is all over this... with that grabbed up and swept away feeling when we find an infatuation. * returning your broom* Thank you so much... I love it immensely.:)

I can't even. This is probably my fave piece from everything you've ever written. korlskddjslkj

When we are infatuated with someone we do not see their flaws. This message is loud and clear in your words!

[Inda]

Short and sweet and strong! Great little write!

[Glen Yumang Manese]

The lines of this and the way you take a relatively short amount of words to give a defining meaning...with the hardening and cold and the unhappiness and imperfection:

Alligator skin and
Reptilian blood

Sad smiles and crooked teeth

[bobc]

P...well done. The view of yourself as reptilian and someone actually attracted to you anyway is striking. Thanx...bobc

[jacob erin-cilberto]

an unusual comparison but a really effective one in this short piece that bites hard.

[Ally Monique]

hmmm the fact that you compare yourself to an alligator is very interesting,
When you say he/she thought you were made out of alligator skin and reptilian blood are you suggesting that he/she thought you were strong? When I think of alligator skin, I think of something that is tough and hard to break through..as if you had a barrier or something of that nature.

Although short, this poem is indeed very powerful,
I really enjoyed it
thanks for sharing :)

I guess the meaning went over my head but the imagery and construction were great. I may be wrong but I think this poem is about someone not thinking they are attractive but someone still being attracted to them. No matter if I am wrong on that translation the actual alligator, reptile, and crooked smile part was great.
