kaleidescope child by ~brookworm:iconbrookworm:



she dances around tiny fragile glass porches while
sun shadows paint themselves across her face
"mummy, i want to be in a ballet one day,"
the minuscule voice exclaims

on the sofa lays mother's boyfriend, obese with his ideas while
Maury shatters the musical peace of dear daughter's voice
his careful observations betray the best intentions;
full of cheap arrogance for egotistical laughs, it is certain
he will darken her kaleidescope soul.

I like this one a lot...the concept of the poem itself is beautiful, albeit depressing. Well done!

Across the face of the Earth, her ruby cheeks shone; Winds of whisper buried seeds of rumor, made her secret well grown.
