Once Again We Swam

Once Again We Swam

A Poem by Danielle Asher

 

It took one question

One reason was given why I needed to stay

Control

Gaining back empowerment

 

Filled with a different kind of chill

A familiar one

The book dropped to the floor

Buttons opened

Little Red Riding Hood lost her cape

Seeing the wolves teeth were larger and

Hungrier than ever

She too was so thirsty

 

Item by item the floor was a sea of things you find in the closet

Once again we swam

Surrounded by the water

Engulfed by the weightlessness

 

Your eyes never left me

Laughing

Smiling

Leaving you by the shore

 

I smile when I think of you

Nice!! I really love the vagueness in the poem. I feel like I understand, but at the same time not. Beautiful!

This was good. I liked it, the way you wove a fairy tale into the telling

Very elusive to me also .. i like it and i love the last line ' i smile wheni think of you',, i smile when i think of a few people .. nice conveyance of your feelings.. and it made me feel ..

This was really good! It was sensual but elusive, empassioned yet calm. I liked how it all flowed together really well.

The end left me feeling refreshed like i had just been in a bath.... great imagery!

Once again, the right amount of intrigue and suggestiveness.

Great imagery too.
