Hello, I am very new to this but I would like to give your poem a go!
Unwelcome
You stepped into my mind
last night as I dreamed wildflowers
the lapwings swooped down - I read another critique saying the verb stepped needed to be changed. Maybe, but I am not
sure I agree with that. In my mind picture someone in the wildflowers with you, then being
and soon you were descending swooped away.. So stepped seems to fit, IMHO.
from a talon
I smiled as I watched
you disintegrate into ash
then disappear from my dream universe - I liked the images here. Reading I wonder what did this person do to earn this scorn?
You’ve never been invited
never welcomed there
but I’m sure you’ll intrude again
if for nothing else
you’ll wannabe the overwhelming primrose
and it’ll be satisfying to see your exclusion
once again
Next time you could get buried
under a mountain of gooseberries
and shoveled into the back of a farm truck
hauling prickly pears
then packaged and shipped
to someplace like the Brazil
or even the Bermuda Triangle
Where you’d be swallowed whole
as your existence gets digested
and the print on your birth certificate -- I really liked the line "as your existence gets digested.." very clever.. As /And I am not sure it matters but I
fades into the obscure get the other critics point there. Things are swallowed prior to digestion..
Maybe then you’d never come back
never step into my dreams
uninvited.Confusion is only a temporary state
I am totally lost by the closing line. Who is confused?
