Halloween

Blond and foreign continent
what land I wash ashore
slopes and architecture
old injury, scar
sweet-faced and serene
my crazy maker
my crossed star

I'd go it alone you know
and have -
lived hermit
the price of one night a year
and never considered it dear.

Crazy-maker
crossed star
forlorn and exposed
a man whose watch fell from a pocket
onto the floor, where everyone saw it
this, the first "I love you" you dropped

Graceful and well-done

This is really subtle and affectionate. Your language is careful, and you have a nice sense of phrase and description. I'm impressed. I hope you post more work.

I agree with Tzara about the rhyme. A bit of rhyme in free verse can be a nice touch. Beautiful poem. Very smartly written.

There's a lot I like about this one.

The rhyme salted almost randomly through the poem, the kind of erratic rhythm to the lines. The opening and, particularly, closing images are really good. Thanks.
