POETRY: Etching a Tiny Pulse by `poisonedrose:iconpoisonedrose:

Categories Contests > 2008 > I Spy > Literature Submissions




The chalk rubbing
reveals fingers, toes,
a bird-like eye: closed,

like the dust-wings of a moth
flickering within the walls
of a shadowy cave,
a heavy blotch beats.

Author's Comments

As the category suggests, this is for the I SPY contest. =bewareofthesnowman threatened to beat me if I didn't enter.

I'm glad I did, not just to escape a beating (I could so knock him out), but because I'm actually really happy with the end result, thanks to his very helpful editing. :heart:

A couple of my friends requested that I provide a link to my sister's ultrasound photo, which inspired this poetry. However, for privacy reasons, I've chosen not to. Just use your imaginations (or the poem!) :)

I think pregnancy is amazing.

Edit: Apparently we're meant to say what prizes we'd most like. I don't know! Subs/prints? A pat on the back would do me fine. :excited:
