time?
well she thought it was good
night swallowing her day
time vamping to night
light dripping like honey….
dew drop diamonds at dawn
she yawns at the sun
burns her finger on a freshly lit cigarette
hot! dog at her feet, never under
estimates her pain precisely
she kisses his curly ear
aching for one more life
time

Oh my goodness!!! You really compounded me here. A plethora of compound words used so well as their root words. Well done! I especially like these lines
“night swallowing her day
time vamping to night”
and what you did with hot! dog at her feet 🙂
An s added to burn but who cares when you’ve included so many of the compound words so very well here! Loved it!
I love the repetiton of time as the first and last line. The details really ground the poem, and you’ve used the prompt so subtly and so well!
Goodness yes, I agree! You absolutely rocked the prompt, Mish 😀 Especially love; “light dripping like honey….dew drop diamonds at dawn.” 💝💝
so well-used those compounds, but a poem really alive, words darting here, there, towards the conclusion…yes…….really cleverly done those lines..
This was wonderful to read – I can see her with the dog easing her pain. Wonderful character and scenery building here.
Excellent use of the compound words, specially the hot! dog, Mish. Great character sketch too.
Wonderfully done, Mish! The way lines segue into each other is amazing!
I rather liked the “hot! dog”
Very clever.
Bravo
Much💛love
It was the curly ear that stood out for me.

Perfect balance and cadence to this, and the images are fresh and well-conceived. Your punctuation was extremely creative with the compound words, yet it doesn’t distract at all from the neat progression and sense of identity that the poem projects..
