Am I Not More

Blue acrylic coat had stroked her eyes
As her arms he made of calm white
Her curls of tea brown stunned the wind
The precious garden of her presence
Expressed as she picked out a corn nearby

Shall I not be envious of his desire?
To paint of another women’s beauty
To use his hands and not my time
And shun it upon our kitchen wall
The wall that we painted our sweet love


Am I not as more beautiful
To you, my love, the signature of that painting?

About a women jeoulsed by a man as he talks about another women's beauty.

    Good poem, the first line had is not needed, that makes a double past tense, and makes it sound weird. Good ending question again. Love the descriptors in here, great work.

    Oh this is really good! I love how you made title, and asking if you are not more than that painting. I love your description and your entire wording was really good. Good job!

    Great

    This is great I like the way you liken your jealousy to a painting. He would have to really study his subject in order to paint a masterpiece. You painted it for him with words. Grest write

    Do think this is certainly different - unusual. Such a sad situation to be in, no one wants to be in her shoes.

    this is imagery-rich and well-composed. I like the metaphor that you explained in your author's comments.
    Excellent.

    Beautifully expressed

    Sometimes to love is more painful than not to be loved at all. Men are so unpredictable. Impressive write dear. keep writing I like the way you express your self. (LISA)

    Dang! Now that was hard I loved the concept, and I won't talk about other girls anymore when we're on the phone. I might slip a couple of times though.
