This is so alluring and plush. My favourite line has to be "distracted by a flutter of moths". You, along with this beautiful poem, are going on my favourites list! ♥

Chilling/haunting. Amazing. Good God, that poem was amazing. Took my breath away... I wish there were more poems like this on here... this was really good.

a m a z i n g l y lovely and elegant.

"she asks,/distracted by a flutter of moths/performing suicide by attraction//and I pause, admiring the elegance/of curling wings,"

that part. just so great. really.

Quite clever. Reading again, the silence isn't a bitter one. Initially I'd though 'letting her enjoy the silence.' wasn't a good thing. Interesting. 'performing suicide by attraction' is a brilliant line.

I love the line: "performing suicide by attraction" utterly fantastic poem.

I love this "performing suicide by attraction" What a fascinating image that is.

wow, this is so beautiful and subtle. I like the way you spaced it out and your diction was great. Really made me feel like I was there, in that moment. Wonderful job. Keep Writing
