Can’t believe my eyes…
What the heck is this poem doing with no review? Its one thing to be effusive or verbose, call me what you want. It’s another to read; enjoy, then just keep it to oneself. Every time a brief comment is added to a poem, a potential for an additional exposure is created. That is, in the public comments area which keeps the organic connection with the text and with previous comments; and of course on the new portal which presents the twenty latest comments.
If we enjoy – why not let others know about it too by commenting on what we liked? (Not to mention giving some well deserved feedback to the person who made it happen)
True to my word, I’ll divide my comments to two. This one would be the teaser. Go read this touching poem. I will post a review later (nothing like a week day off).
Still fighting for her love…
Just the right kind of poem to my taste - transparent in first reading. And when you are in it, you find more angels and further refinements. Reg. the misnomer of “illustrated poetry”, as I have claimed in previous occasions, I have nothing against it, but many poems here do not fall under this category even as they use photos or other visual elements as part of them. When the visual part stands as an equal partner to the text: some times complementary; qualifying it; some times providing a point of contrast, it does not serve an illustrative purpose.
The woman in this poem is recounting the history of her embattled search for safe intimate life just as she prepares herself for more rounds in the ongoing; painful and mostly defeated struggle.
The images of a search for a ‘buttoned down’ love and the ‘boxing ring’ would not be coupled together in my mind, but in the way its done here it keeps the universal subject fresh; and the pain and the humor are constantly present too. Not too many would stay in the ring, especially when the track record for quickly falling is not promising. Maybe her determination could compensate for the vulnerability. With the game not being entirely fair (like life?), what with those short notices, you have to respect that determination. Speaking of vulnerability, those ring /heart shaped buttons scream vulnerability. In a touching simplicity/ naivety, and lets not forget - humor (always look for that possibility in realizations of metaphors), they clearly mark the goal (buttoned down love). For now it seems as elusive as her chances to win. Nothing seems to hold the buttons together other than her will (no glue no frame not even the buttons natural companion – threads. They broadcast the (intentional?) statement Yes I am vulnerable but I am in the middle of the ring, ready for the fight. Come on lover, bring it on…
button down.
Her heart is button Down and inaccessible ~ but He's girded up to fight for it. Illustration of button strung together is a very fitting image. Excellent.
Keep..
up your guard or you may get a broken heart

All in the quest for that certain someone with qualities so desired; a buttoned down heart is one that won't wander or seek strange and unusual thrills.
