Saturn (Free verse) by david      A father bribes her
with a yellow-white brooch
(striped enamel, diamond,
and ten glittery baguettes)
dangling in a black velvet case.
She stretches up for the honey-pale token, to pin it
on her blouse, over a heart lit like a jack-o'-lantern.
But Saturn lumbers off
with its curio cloudbank,
sky-tethers the icy shoal
elsewhere, padding round
an orbit, just
out of reach.
Up the ladder:
On The Floor of the Hospital
Down the ladder:
Ohio's Dirty Natives

Touch and go, almost there.
hrmm.. this is good.. just needs a bit of a tweak.. ill be brave, why not.. you can just shoot me if you think im suggesting something evil:

Work on this, if you do it well ill give ya a nine.. for now, ill give you an 8. 188 view(s)
