The Collar
by William Robbins
copyright 08-07-2002


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Erasing
fairies
from my mirror’s dialogue,
I exercise my lungs
in exhausted futile chirps
that crave ecstasy.
Winter comes in tumultuous
waves
of frigid and frayed spine tentacles,
forming drifts of fear’s edifices,
which boil in my throat and stomach.
I button
a chase collar of design
over my quivering
and imagine a joust
between life
and fate,
while wearing a rusty, dented suit of armor
from bumping into the walls
within my mind.

Good write William, very well written metaphors, I pretty much agree with everybody's posts.

Superb William! I love the metaphors.
08-13-2002 Melissa Rives    

hmmm...guess that's why I'm bruised so often...I keep forgetting to wear my armour! This is brilliant William!

Brilliant imagery...
"Winter comes in tumultuous
waves
of frigid and frayed spine tentacles,
forming drifts of fear’s edifices,..."

And the ending...simply perfect...

William, I really liked this one, especially these lines...'while wearing a rusty, dented suit of armor
from bumping into the walls
within my mind.'
My mind has no walls, but a million doors and rooms just waiting to be explored.

I think all writers have dented armor but we just keep on hitting those walls. Good write.
