I am the wood.

Struggling to escape the confines –
Paint, layer on layer coating me, trapping me
Chipped and scarred, beaten by the tools of man
Longing to be singed and born anew

I am the wood.

You strip me harshly.
No respite from the tools of your trade.
First you scrape me roughly.
The warmth begins to reach me.

I am the wood.

You give me no quarter.
Your sandpaper abrades me.
Smoothes me, and soothes me.
Revealing the core.

I am the wood.

I leap in your flames.
Twisting and turning as the fire licks me.
Dancing to the lash, my mind in a trance
My feet move to the primal rhythm.

My cries reach the night.

I am the girl.

An interesting poem...

with some excellent, unique phrasing. A strong use of images throughout strengthens the poem. Very well done.

A fine...

...offering from a new name. Sharp language and little waste. Impressive. Hoping there's more to come from you!

I really really like this....

Most men are out of date and all thumbs. Find a master

cabinet maker and you'll have a fighting chance. This

is a good idea and visional you have here.

If I were a carpenter.....

and you were my lady....Now I understand where that song came from. Nice metamorphosis.
