shy wallflower girl
is silently observing
sense of self grows dim
◊
no attention paid
she fades into the background
she is wallpaper

her turn to judge now
you’ll be held accountable
now these walls will talk

I can relate to this one I am a shy girl and I have frequently referred to myself as wallpaper. Fantastic job Melanie =)
Thank you. I had a much longer poem but wasn’t happy with it…so took it down to its roots and made it a grouping of haiku. Glad it worked 🙂
Oh very good!
Anna :o]
Thank you!
She wouldn’t blend in with my wallpaper. Especially the bits that the cats have sharpened their claws on.
Ha! I don’t even have any wallpaper. I actually found that picture along with a whole series of them with girls wearing dresses made out of wallpaper. Weird but a perfect pairing for my post! 🙂
Wow, this is something I can relate to..
Oh, then you must break free. Don’t just observe…live your life 🙂
Apart from anything else the photo is very clever. I used to like wallflowers. Often the shyest people are the most interesting once they open up
Isn’t the picture cool?! I’m no wallflower for the record. Not all of my work is autobiographical. There is fiction as well. 🙂
yes…this I can totally relate to…
Thanks for reading and commenting 🙂
love the poetry, the photo is tripping my eyes out LOL!
🙂 The picture is trippy indeed!
Wow. I like it. And great photo.
I had fun with it 🙂 Glad you enjoyed!
enjoyed the way you made your Haiku out of the prompt. I hope her revenge is worth it.
Oh it will be 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting!
love it
Thank you 🙂
