Laying on the Floor

Uhmm...not good. But good enough, I guess....(note to self, make it not suck...)

* * *

on my back
broken wings of light scatter and spin above my head
streched feline regal belly exposed
warmed by the splash of light upon the floor
caressing my porcelin white barely round belly
eyes closed
imagining the feeling of hands on my flesh
fingers once sweet tracing every last little curve
wandering and curious
warm like the light splattering the off white carpet
and now only the light
only the light
touches that once-loved body surrendered to your light
that light
its the whisper of the moonlight
its the broken glass splash of autumn light
its the glistening faery wings of spring
please
take away those fingers
and let me forget

Make it not suck. And could there be a bit with a dog? (I <3 Geoffery Rush.)

Can you use a synonym for belly in the fifth line?

More later, I need to decompress.

No. I like belly. Thanks for playing.

Hmm a bit with a dog, eh?

Mistaken identies, a pirate king, a bit with a dog and love triumphant. Would that help?

*rolls in poetic goodness* I like. Suggestions?

Too busy. Too many things you want to convey in this line. Break it up and make it a bit... less.

I think "on the floor" would sound better... maybe?

Again just a few too many things happening. Space it out a bit.

Other then that...

cut upon the floor. just warmed by the splash of light

its the glistening faery wings of spring

as much as i love a good fey reference. i don't think it fits.

Its good. Very visual and sleek and sexy. It has a great rhythm to it and would sound great read aloud.

well, in my opinion, the word 'belly' just takes away from the seriousness of the poem. i hate words like that--of course, this is only my personal assessment so dont go thinking that you should change it just because of what i or someone else may think. basically, i'm saying besides the 'belly' part, this is a very meaningful and powerful poem...i understand where you're going with this,

okay, here's a revision. I'M KEEPING BELLY DAMNIT!!! I LIKE BELLY!!! *breaths deep* But other than that, I tried to change according to your suggestions. Whattcha think?

Yes. I like.

Some lines still seem a bit long for the piece. but indentation of some of the smaller lines might give it a good look too. (unfortunanly indentation is unliked by the site). Other than that, yeah. Those little edits make a real difference.

I liked it, it was quite different and didn't come right out and say "I am a cat" in the first line. There was one problem, and that was the overuse of the same word. THe three I saw were "broken" "belly" and "light".
