Playing the Part

Playing the Part

A Poem by Kaylee April

Sickly sweet like golden silk

honey drips off of the actress’s tongue

words unfamiliar

her pride is a headlight’s glow

a place she’s been before

 

Among sweet cityscape

Streams of light and honey and rain

Dancing over street-lit riverbeds

She performs in a different spotlight

She never told you where she went

her fingertips drip sweat

syrup spills from transmissions

she wants to taste

Kaylee, Wow! If my first sample of your writing is anything like the rest I believe I want to sign up right now to be the president of your fan club (as long as I don't have to wear a stupid hat.) Your writing produces vivid imagery, which you then take and crash it violently into other imagery. I LIKE that!! If that is 'your style,' copywrite it...no, do it now! I am happy to accept you as a friend. Please send me read requests; I get so many that it's hard to visit friends' pages to see if there's anything new. I PROMISE I review ALL read requests. Now you have to review one of mine. Or if not...well, I don't know exactly what happens. I guess I'm just a little pissed? Nice to have 'met you.' take care...dan

Wow what a great poem. The imagery was used to well that I could picture what you were saying. It is a short piece but is strong and effective. Great job!

I like this. Appeals to the senses. Tickles the mind. One note: Typo in stanza 2, line 5. I think you mean "where she went." Dig the content and the style. Cheers!
