You Frown God Frowns


White walls covered with
Scarlet, ruby-red stains
Matching my pains.

Echoing hollowed screams
From basal base to crown
And town to town.

Running from danger
Holding in all my anger
Puzzling, Puzzling
You frown.

Yellow rose petals
Vastly scattered on my bed
Screaming in my head.

Molesting good morals
Tempest inviting original sin
Falling again and again.

Running from my humanness
Banished from holiness
Puzzling, Puzzling
God frowns.



I wrote this as a Sylvia Plath style poem for my Contemporary American 
Poetry class last term......I would love to hear some feedback, even if 
you don't understand it (which you aren't really meant to since it is a 
confessional poem and has meaning only to me...you have to know my past in 
order to understand some of the images like the white walls covered in 
scarlet and the yellow rose petals scattered on my bed....). Pixy, I think 
it is your turn to do the honors....And anyone else (batt *cough*)
 who might want to comment please do...we all can benefit..ask questions, 
give impressions, try to analyze it, try to make it personal...isn't that 
what it is all about? I do NOT write poetry for poetry's sake....so 
comment! *hugs* (to those who want them!)
