pulses of poetry


frequent
peanut butter milkshake
sips, hiding between
book shelves -

the store lights
are too loud
but we
create each other
soft and smoothed-over;

I am nestled into you.

warm breath, against
my hair; books release
all of their little words,
stitching us together

    despite this being an excellently written poem, what amazes me is your age of 18. Gives me hope that poetry does have a future.

    Fairly swanky. Good images but I think the flow could be a little better.

    this is so cute, even though the thought of a peanut butter milkshake is so gross to me. haha i hate peanut butter. that's just personal weirdness though.

    this is beautiful, as is everything you write.

  • "I am nestled into you."
    That's so cute! It's such a warm image though.

    This is stunning. I love how you put so much into so little space; it's beautiful. My favourite lines:

    "the store lights
    are too loud"

    For whatever reason, they stood out to me. Thanks for sharing ♥

    "the store lights
    are too loud
    but we
    create each other
    soft and smoothed-over;"
    that is is beautiful.
    beautiful.

  • interresting, peanutbutter milkshakes are my favorite even though i have to make it myself cuz nobody serves it like that. ^_^ You use your descriptions short and sweet, but very much to the point. I like that. The title, I don't quite understand but i'm sure it makes sense to you.

  • peanut butter milkshake
    -ohohohh, that sounds sooo nice. i love peanut butter everything!! mmn..

    the store lights
    are too loud
    -the is a brilliant, brilliant description. your poetry had emotion and that emotion is so strong.

    books release
    all of their little words,
    stitching us together
    -i want to swallow these words and feel them drip down my throat, one by one. they are magnificent.
