Flowers
As if I've never developed
the ability to speak
I stutter. I stuttered,
upon seeing your pretty
face covered up with
crimson flowers.

I like how you've repeated that word stutter in the third line, cause as you read it you almost wonder for a second if you've misread - it emphasises the sense of being unsure, or shaken, as if you've tripped over something.

The way you mix tenses in the third line has a profoundly poignant effect. It makes the reader realise that the moment the narrator stuttered goes on forever; there is no closure. "I've" needs a capital "I," but that's literally the only thing I can pick at here. An excellent, thoroughly emotive poem. Thanks for the read.

Black, purple and gray.
A stunned and dark feeling of loss.
I love what you make me feel with your verses.
Your short poems are greats.
