It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on.
Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory.
I will read each piece thoroughly.
Please tag me after you have entered.
Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves.
*Everyone will receive a review.
I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors.
*These reviews are my opinion.
Thank you and have fun!

Beware of me, my love.
Beware of me, my love.
Beware of my eyes
those that shine with false promises.
Beware of my whims
and the way I tangle you with my smile.
Beware of my mouth
I'll say I don't, but I bite.
Beware of my touch
specially when my body makes you feel like exploding.
Beware not to love me
because loving me will only make you suffer.
Beware of me, my love
because I'll make you believe the love is mutual.
But above anything else, my love
protect me from myself and my inability to love.
Protect me from myself
because I can't distinguish between abyss and love.
Protect me from myself
because I'll want to love you and I won't know how to.
[In honour of Alejandra Pizarnik and to all those whom I wanted to love but couldn't.]
