Sliding down the Popsicle pole
At the end of our street, where Springtree meets Rose
Limp chapped hands just won’t let go
Nails being shredded by Winter’s spit
Sequins in light, sleeves like a dragonfly’s
Wings with veins electric, reproached
To think that retro does not look so
When indeed, it’s your mom’s old prom dress

Maybelline Sparkle, fluorescent white lights
We see on reindeer, glued in grass
Brows carved hard on a plate of smooth flour
Hardened and vexed as cars go by
Diffident doll as poised as a geisha
Though urban with a taste of caviar’s smack
Makeshift highlights bearing coughs
Choked down, thanks to pink markers

Waiting for someone; where’s your sign?
How long did it take to know what you want?
Knives on your heels, how you must live
Discipline thick, our sweet curdled milk
Comfortable love. You so sure?
Strength’s a mosaic so calmly perturbed
Malnourished, it seems you recede once more
Behind that pole, you fit

SilverScent: You certainly have a way with words. You subtly manage to paint the extraordinary images to the reader with out it seeming deliberate. I like this very much.

QhBaRrElChIc: I agree totally with what LordXing says. The word usage is amazing as usual. I really doubt you could write a poem I wouldn't be impressed with or that wouldn't be amazing. Very mind blowing your poetry and this poem in particular. Great job!!!

Lord_Xing: I LOVE your vocabulary usage, It makes me happy when I see words that are out of the norm. It always gives poems this pizzaz, especially when used correctly. I also like the very detailed imagery that you used, it paints a great..and sad, picture, and it is so vivid. Makes you feel sorry for her with the way you described all of the details. Very nice! Good job! I am not even sure if I could pick out a stanza I like best, even line for that matter, because they're all good
