Beautiful Melancholy

Silver rings adorn long fingers
Itching to curl around pencils
To sketch a new face
Un-marked from trying to prove
That I am an adult

Multiple sets of hands
Have labeled my body
As unconventional beauty

I am not sure if I like this yet

Author notes

This sounds rather sad, i don't know I've been in a rather melancholy mood today... I blame the weather

I'm sure that tomorrow I will be my normal happy self so no worries.

    it is a little enigmatic, do you mean the hands that itch to pencil your face? or to draw as an artist? ... hmm, dont answer these questions tho, its a poem, it should set people thinking, which this one did me, thank you for entering

    Joyce, this is teriffic.  I know exactly what you mean about it too, and you do have such unconventional beauty.  I'm envious of it, seriously.  Your look is so wrong it's right, and that's what I love about you.  Even in your poetry it shows.

    You're growing so much.  I'm so proud!!!  lol.  All - in - all, I absolutely love this, and I'm bookmarking it.

    Nice job on this one. The last line is most expressive and brings meaning to the entire poem. Well done!
