Vanish
He plants a seed
in my rye field
without telling me
what will it grow to be?
Day and night
I keep an eye on
await the solitary one
to transform.
It silently sprouts
and turns
a cactus with thorns.
Didn’t realize
it’s the last talk
he blocked messages
and vanished
on the computer screen
caught me by surprise.
I should have
unconsciously
hurt him a lot
therefore
take his revenge
left me solid guilt
and unlimited regret
without a chance
saying sorry.
The thorns in my flesh
Sting my soul
Bone-piercingly sore
Deepen into my skull.
Turn and toss
I was sleepless
that night
I sighed and
Shed tears.

I think the picture is interesting. Three yellow eggs are rarely here, I have never seen them in my life, not to mention quins. American chickens are much much stronger I think lol!

Hullo
Good stuff, honest is always a good read. It evokes feelings in others. relatatable too which is a plus
personally I think you could probably do without the third and fourth stanza. for me, they read different from the rest, less refind than the running metaphor which the rest have
again, that's personal taste
anyhow, grand job, lady
*hat tip*

Re: Re. Vanish
Thank you Craic, it's my honor to get your "hat tip", which means a lot to me. I totally agree with you if cosidering about the flow or the running metaphor, I should take away the third and fourth parts. However it is kind of my occupational hazard, lead me to reveal the truth. I know sometimes it is embarrassing.
Once again, I totally agree. I have deleted them in my mind, and I can feel the different imagery, which is softer and more poetic.
Then, may I ask you a question about your name? It has chan at the end, does it relate to your family name? Sorry for the random question.

You open with an interesting metaphor and that gets critical thinking engaged. I like that. The vulnerability and emotion are engaging. Enjoyed this.

Hi Daniel, thank you for the read and the comment. Yea, the metaphor is important for the next stanza, without it, the poem is just a boring event. Glad you like it. Really appreciate your support. RoseJasmine

It makes me sad that you've been shut out within an explanation why
I've had that happen several times in my life, so I can relate to this
