Wallflower

Bashful expose with a debatable rhyme scheme...

Feel like a simple wallflower

Afraid that someone will ask her to dance

Love to be seen but

Afraid of the chance

Maybe someone will like the words that I post

Maybe someone will think I'm the most

Most profound thing that ever crashed down

I laugh at myself knowing that i am far from profound

All Nervous and Quervous

All Tight like a Fiddle

All wriggly and Squiggly
Silly Poem wrapped in a Riddle

I scramble and Embrace Seussian rhymes

They remind me of easier times

Am I writing for You?

Am I writing for me?

Am I writing just to spew?

Am I writing just to see

If I've got it in Me?

Just a Wallflower

Waiting for a Dance

Breast Cancer Gal
Hoping for a sideways Glance

That quick look

that says

I might have what it Took

Author's Note

Brilliant last stanza….I am wondering if this rhyming thing (not my gig) is your style or wether you used it here for effect? Guess I'll just have to read on…it works in a very off the cuff way.
Thanks for the read and wonderful job..Wallflower….hmmm?? doesn't seem to fit for a reason~

Hey Perdition,
Thank you so much for your review. Yes...rhyming structure isn't necessarily my forte. I like to play with words. So many verbs, nouns, proverbs and adjectives like ping pong balls on a blank screen. I am glad you liked the last stanza. I will be reading you tonite and am very much looking forward to it. Thank you again, so much, for your review!

Writing is for some like me to an escape... Somewhere i can belong and stay for as long as i want. I feel the loneliness in being a wallflower myself and also having to fight the battle(my mom is a cancer survivor)... And even though nothing really makes sense and even though sometime I write because i need to let some of my emotions go... I want still to be recognized and be seen... Even if just for a brief moment. Wonderful structure and poise.

Thanks so much for your review, Priscilla. I always get nervous when anyone responds to my writing. Did they hate it? Do I totally suck? So happy to know that there's another emotional writer out there. Thank you so much for your review!

Its my pleasure. Writing is not about what others think but what you feel. If you feel it your reader will feel it to...

He who reads with a wide-awake heart comes to see the beauty, and to love the soul behind those delicate ryhming words of yours. And at the edge of that flowing, flawless delicacy, the message is poweful and a great strengh is shown. And felt, yes. I could easily feel your poem. The fear, hope, irony, disquiet, melancholy and courage are all so beautifully conveyed.

Keep writing and sharing, keep up the fight !

The soul and its beauty are eternal, and the hand of fate that strikes and rubs can never stamp out the roaring bravery of written words.

Peace,

Dusty
