The golden present

Cherish everything

The collector’s gift to you

Wrapped in morning dew

Weaved in magnificent gold

Beauty told, unsold

Ribbon white and clean

Paper all, voucher redeemed

No, no, no!

No mold

There, inviting only you.

Open.

Rip

Your soul.

Dearie, with love

You. Are. Cold.

The gift and horror of knowledge.

You are quite proficient at creating texture in your poems. The variations between longer words and lines and shorter words and lines. And I am so delighted with your clever use of punctuation throughout. Particularly, of course, in the last line. Another fine piece!!

I loved this! The dark undertone, your word choice, and serious meaning behind this piece helped make it fantastic! Great work! = ]

Love the dark undertone - the effect of knowledge and maybe knowing too much! Very short - but strong impact. Sometimes, more is said with less.

fantastic... this compact poetic expression is filled with great imagery and has a great melodic rhythm to it.. theres a dark undertone to it that is great, also.
