    All Proper Hollow Staples

     

    On  summer dreams, and midnight screams

    A shattered bitter fable seems

     

    Some wretched jail, a blasphemous tale

    A squandered hate that won’t prevail

     

    With fruitless casts which never last

    All proper hollow staples

     

    Its twist begins, irreverent trends

    To endure, outlast unable

     

    -M. Jacobs

    This reflects my short style of writing and it's about a relationship that won't last because it is fruitless and it has all of the trimmings, money, power, and comforts. But no true love or passion. All Proper Hollow Staples refers to the basic things a man provides a woman in a relationship. It is not about me.

    When written words are swords, and hopefully their paper won't last long.

    I like many of your poems that have deep meanings and require additional readings to reveal your thought and then to dissect your metaphors. A good piece that brings the past into present. Write ON!

    Thanks for your comment and rating. Great to hear from you.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
