Some people pierce their ears
And wear dangling silver hoops.
Some people pierce alone
And some only pierce in groups.
Some people wait 'til they're old
But some, pierce when they're young.
Some people pierce their lips
And some, will pierce their tongue.
Some people pierce their nose
Making it hard to sneeze.
Some people pierce "down below"
But only if they please.
Some people pierce a few
And some, pierce sixty-three.
But me, I have one great piercing
And it's where my heart should be.

What can I say? I was feeling pretty heartless when I wrote this poem.... and so that's the way I wrote it.

Phew, incredible! What a way to pull the thesis (if you will) back around and transforming it into a metaphor. Not only was the message right on, but the form and content was nicely place also.
-
I love the repitition and its just such a cool idea you had here, kick ass write.
-
awww.. this is sadly cool if that makes any sense. love the rhyming and the end is just a great way to give at all away on how you are feeling. didn't expect it to be like this. i loved it!

this poem is incredible and it's short and sweet i like it
-
...because of everything. Because of a lack of reasons not to do so. (I see your point how the feelings are unexplained but I wasn't feeling inspired enough to write more than what it is) Maybe I'll weave in some tragic-love stanzas and use that as the "why"... but I'll have to put some thought into how.
-
So, why pierce at all? Your poem does not explain the why only the how.
-
Wow, that is brilliant. Amazing! Plus, I love piercings myself. Haha. Keep up the wonderful work!
