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
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.
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.
