Little Girl Blue

A Poem by Alisa Js

somewhere in the echoes of a distant lullaby

next to a father's lonely heart cry

a baby smiles

a mother leaves

what was I to do

little girl blue left behind

making her way as best she could

stomping across splattered sunshine

trembling inside, tears not dry

whispers followed as seasons blew fast

slimy sneers from low life hounds

howling quick as she walked near

snap!

wicked glares bared and pushed her down

ignorant ticks

votes taken among the numb.

laughter sprang

as memories burned

threats projected

all around that different girl

unseen shackles continued to bind

this mind, for years and maybe months

left me

on the outer rim

watching days slide by

beyond my grasp

to mend these broken parts ...

Alisa, Hi. As your story unfolds and quickens a bit, the way you are using so many images that may SEEM randomly arranged but fall together at the right angle...and speed. You have, sprinkled through the piece, many phrases that catch the eye, helping to focus on every part of this honest and at the same time electrifying buzz......you bring the reader to the end, very calming. This piece is more than solid, it has a way of getting reader's attention and then never letting go, or something. Nice writing, Alisa. take care...dan

ANTO

"unseen shackles continued to bind
this mind" - the hardest chains to divest oneself of are the ones that we fashion ourselves from the raw materials supplied by society. They are the hardest to throw off but if we are successful they are the greatest release of all.
Deeply moving words Alisa -
