I am caught up in
your sticky threaded prison;
your reluctant prey.
·
I’m firmly ensnared.
Your silky, sweet sounding lies
have woven a web.
·
A gauze-like blindfold
distorts my vision of you,
but I still see you.
·
Hairs raise, skin tingles
as I await your venom
poisonous or not.

A strong collection here with a powerful thread – and how love captures us all.
Thank you, Chris. I’m glad is came across.
Great poem Melanie. Uh huh…great poem.
Thank you kindly!
Oh wowza–powerfully evocative, visceral…and we’re sort of on the same page tonight, as I was thinking “recluse” too 🙂
Thanks so much 🙂
Welcome!
thanks for playing the writing prompt Melanie 🙂
These are great word bursts – these haiku – how they paint an idea and image in the head – and the anticipation, the tension, is fascinating – the last haiku is really a delightful conclusion – the sense of needing to wait, no matter what, is intriguing. Fascinating interpretation of the prompt 🙂
Well thank you but I didn’t even think this fit the prompt…just something I wrote…which is why I didn’t link it up or tag it.
I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
oh dear, you’re right in a way – I stopped in to see your space and just was in hosting prompt mode – but it’s okay, it does fit the prompt in some way; prompts are sources of inspiration – and what you’ve written is an essence.
Anyhow, it’s good to meet you, and I apologize if this doesn’t make sense, I’m having a major pain back issue and I’m a bit brain fuzzed. Please feel free to stop in anytime – prompt site or elsewhere!
No worries at all! Thanks for reading and I’m sure i will see ya again soon 🙂
oh and feel betterly soon! I know pain all too well.
sorry to hear that – hope you have many pain free days
