POEM STARTER

Submitted by HardCoreWriter

Write a poem comparing a house and a home.

Silence Is A Good Place To Grieve

open shut

in this apartment i find religion

a thousand flies in imperfect symmetry


and the number isn’t right

but the ring back is faultless

and i am flawed


she speaks german

i ask her to tell me

about you

she simply throws another stone


the carpet is stained

red nail polish red wine


and the flies keep buzzing


tell me about yourself

where you’ve left

which numbers haven’t answered


yes

i understand


and the heart keeps beating

and another stone is thrown

and the front door still creaks


red nail polish faded to blue

and that’s god’s work if you ask me

but faded stains are still stains

and i don’t know if this is about me or the deadbolt
