Tattooed

[My hanging heart
cascades  
ugly spawns of
embers. ] Fabtastic imagery. IMO you could pare down the first strophe thus:

My hanging heart
cascades  
ugly spawns of
embers.
Today fails me,
once more.  

The second strophe is erroneous, and feels forced. Penultimate strophe is perfect.

You sent another person to Google to find the meanings of your Greek words. Cutting down does make the impact stronger with fewer words Thanks!

LOL Are you having a pint with Eamon? :)


Gorgeous!!!!!  I am adding this to my reading list now.

Thanks for adding this poem. You know I post mostly average erotica.

I sometimes wonder how many times you’ve been re-incardinated since classical Athens?

Is that a Sappho reference?

I’m not sure if reincarnation requires staying the same sex, but I like the idea, so yes!

clever piece of poetry going on here, though i must confess it took me a minute to figure out ugly spawn of embers, i am still in two minds but they both work.
ending is great, and finite.

p.s "LOL Are you having a pint with Eamon?"
:)  i hope i didn't get you too pissed.
