A pearly button sat
on my scarlet, chipped fingernail.
It wavered slightly
as it whispered to my cuticle…
But, it never tipped off.
Gravity forbid, if it slipped,
my fingers would scurry
into my palm for comfort
and pray for a jingle at my feet.
Fortunately, the pearly button
sat content on my dreary fingernail
in perpetual harmony.
(Almost) still.

I'm beginning to see your signature in your poems (unless you're going for something completely different again like the 'I have a crush on him' poem
)
The way you portray situations (or your imagination) is unique and breath taking. I don't say much things like this, but I wouldn't see surprised if one day, one day in the near (or far) future, your name will be printed on books... honestly...

Interesting
It takes a lot of talent to take something as simple as a button and turn it poetic. Very well done.

I dont know
I honestly just dont know what I think about this. Hmmmm.... -
And what if it rolled?
What if gravity became a sour old maid and stole the button from you. What if it rolled and got lost among the debris under the bed or dresser. The Vaccum would suck it up but dull the shine. You can almost see the tiny bead perched there waiting for what may come. -
A very nicely written poem, you ahve a nice choice of words you've sued that flowed so well. Nice job.

I really enjoyed this poem. well done,excellent poem.
But, it never tipped off.
Gravity forbid, if it slipped,

and pray for a jingle at my feet.

oh wow, I've read it like five times, and although I love it more each time, i'm still slightly confused! I think that's a good thing though, becsaue it leaves you with possibilities, and sticks in your mind! I really love this! Just fabulous!
