Array ( [sid] => 7585 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Picture Perfect [time] => 2002-11-27 23:00:00 [hometext] => This was inspired when I took up painting. [bodytext] => Paint me a portrait so vivid and clear
Dress me in an elaborate gown
Much too posh for my pocketbook
Try hard to retract from my eyes the fear

Paint my lips in a beautiful crimson smile
For I couldn't model such a grin
I must have forgot how
In many brush strokes erase my flaws
I'm much too tired of remembering

Place me under a starry sky
Let the stars invade my eyes
Like pioneers so long ago
And don't let the tears dim them all
I'm trying so very hard not to cry

Bedazzle my neck
With gaudy diamonds and such
I've never felt classy before

Lengthen my hair
Reveal if you dare
A side of me never shown
For all the days I have lived
I have lived alone [comments] => 1 [counter] => 149 [topic] => 32 [informant] => orgygirl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
