Creased by you

Creased by you

Walking through the tangled
Tatters of my belief
Steeling my-self for what is to come

Christmas lights and warm décor
Honestly festive atmosphere
Lacking but one thing

You, You rumple me
My starched and stiffened self
Creased by you

  2. Unlike Sheilagh I saw being rumpled as being crushed, altered and hurt as your character realized her failings. I loved the phrase "tangled tatters of my belief."

  3. It is interesting how our own experiences determine how we interpret a poem isn't it. You've used the three words this week well.

  15. This is hands down one of my very favorite pieces of yours. It's wrenching. At least to me.
