InspireMe Thursday Prompt: "Lace"

As I usually do, I have written a free verse poem in response to last week's prompt (sorry for the tardiness of posting!)

"Every touch matters..."

wiping a crumb from the corner of my mouth...
blowing a lash off my cheek to make a wish...

tickling my nose with a feather while I nap...
pinky-swearing secrets to the grave...

that delicate not-even-there feeling just before two hands meet...
tipping a tear off my face before it has the chance to roll...

nothing is too small to feel...

not even the brush of a baby's eyelash
in a whispery kiss as soft as lace...

Every touch matters.

  2. Thanks Carla,
    Most of the poems I've been creating lately have been more like collages of images - in this one I was just trying to collage the most delicate imagery I've experienced, because that's what Lace reminds me of... I hope to get more into shaping/crafting these poems later on... but thanks for the comment - very encouraging!
