Fatal Kiss asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 1 decade ago

What do you think of my poem "Blind Eyes", C/C please?

Prisoner of her own house

Owned by a cat's paw

She's the helpless mouse

Beaten until raw

At what cost

Is her life?

Insides eaten by frost

Should it hurt to be his wife?

Queen size bed is her cage

Her face swollen from his rage

She sheds more tears than the rain

Forced to live her life in vain

Never ending, no way

Out of this hell

No words, nothing else to say

Safe inside herself, lost in her shell

    Hi. This is a beautiful , kind of sad and very reflective at the same time, the image, and the rhyming makes your poem flow easily, the mood is very vivid i like how you painted a picture words. I don't think you should add nor take any thing away, it's lovely. Keep on writing.

    I like it! The rhythm is really nice. I like the meaning as well. What I would suggest is turning this line "Should it hurt to be his wife?" to something else. I think you should rhyme life with.. knife? You could say the husband is as sharp as a knife or something along those lines. I just think it would enhance the poem a little more. Other than that, nice poem!

    OMG I so hope this is not your real case. Yowee powerfully painful.

    It all started with a smile

    notions of love came afterwhile

    Now what she dreamed were the Moon and the Stars

    are Black and Blue, with mottled scars.
