Bared To You


try not to breathe
other people's love letters
on bullshit
they **** you up

there are no accidents just
tales of mystery and madness
bared to you
with my body

the probable future
fifty shades of grey
reflected in you
awesome

Linking up with dVerse where we are encouraged to write spine poetry using titles from our own bookshelf.  Interesting challenge!

    Oh, I like this a lot, Kathryn. I do think it is probably a good idea not to breathe other people's love letters (smile); and as far as future goes, I think we will all face (perhaps not 50 - smiles) a bit of grey in our life!!

    Love this... both the breathing of love letters and the fifty shades of Grey works very well

    Beautiful--not only the arrangement of titles, but somehow even the blend of colors is very creative!

    Fabulous opening verse! And I like the honesty of 'just' - was so hard not to sneak in those connecting words...

    Those two opening lines are so beautifully put together, that they breathe fullness into the life of the poem. I have to say, as well, that your photograph is brilliantly done, with its clarity and control over depth of focus. Beautiful.

    How very, very creative! Since I do all my fiction reading at the library and only purchase books on photography and Photoshop, my bookshelf poetry would be quite boring.

      You could still do this at the library Brenda . . . even if you might get some funny looks. :0)

    You certainly had terrific titles to choose from and used them to perfection. That must quite a collection of books that you own, to come up with so many apt titles. Well done.

    That first stanza is stunning, Kathryn - and the other one is pretty good too. Looks like you have an interesting colletion of books ... smiles.

      Thanks, bookshelves can reveal a lot about a person can't they?

    Oh, very well executed! I'm so juvenile I have to chuckle at "They **** You Up".

    Oh! My chuckle came from the last stanza. Wonderful

    The first stanza is just brilliant - Who'd of thought this was a creation of book spines!? Makes me think I will be having a whole new approach when walking into my used book store (just what I needed: an incentive to buy MORE books! )

    Excellent poem!
