Someone Like Her Poem by Annette Aitken

Someone Like Her

Rating: 5.0


Someone Like Her


Her porcelain skin with
candy-floss lips so
sweet and gentle
most comforting.

A waterfall of
silvery locks drape's
over her shoulder
with such grace.

Her eyes as clear as
crystal blue oceans
dives right in soaked
full of emotions

Her beauty untamed
as scored years pass.
the mirror of jealousy.
relents at last.

Growing old gracefully
surrounded by love
dances with angles
from high above.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I like your work Annette but can I lovingly suggest some careful editing? For example, a couple of times 'angles' seems to substitute for 'angels'. You deserve the care you need to give to your poetry and your life.

i thought you might have meant candy-gloss, but i Googled candy-floss: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Definition of candy floss.1 British: cotton candy.2 usually candyfloss British: something attractive but insubstantial. yum, yum! where can i find a pair of those lips to press mine AGAINST? i think Annette, like another PH friend i REALLY admire, Is It Poetry, are 'afflicted' by the same syndrome: misplaced-apostrophe syndrome. ho ho. you are in good company, Annette. emoitions.............. i protest! one of me is enough! ! angles....i've seen that before, but maybe in geometry class, not high above. not that i will EVER get There! think of angels with gel in their hair. and spike heels. and that's just the guy angels! [but i think Keith has trouble with his counting. hee-hee. see his comment about angles/angels. well, at least he lovingly makes a suggestion. i just say YOU GOOFED! ] YES! i'll take 'someone like her'. make that two someones like her! i have an alter ego. bri ;)
