Imagery Poem

9/16/2014

1 Comment

 
A 10-Line poem – on any subject and in any style – that uses striking, vivid imagery both evocatively and symbolically.

The Red Eye

Two drained wine bottles litter the kitchen table
One fallen over, clearly not as stable

His phone that never leaves his side lies abandoned there beside them,
And blinks a warning siren of the coming colliding mayhem

An unknown sweet jasmine scent mixed with warm caramel
Suffocates me as I climb the stairs praying for our survival

My bedroom door ajar, my sanctuary breached
Hell’s gate to a life alone I must endure before I reach


In the coming weeks I’ll wonder, what was less expected
My catching the red eye home, or this woman he has slept with
