PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"New Year's Day (FV)"
It's really late, or early
that halfway point at 3 a.m.
sky brighter than it should be
the mottled pink of frostbitten skin

Watching through the window
as the flakes begin falling
along with bothersome tears

Cappucino in one hand
phone in the other
leftover makeup smeared on my sleeve

Storm intensifying outside
and in -- a deluge of heart-rain
surging as the glacier dissolves

Phone resting uneasily in its cradle
pulling my knees up to my chin, sniffling
enfolded in my blanket
a green poly/cotton womb

The silent snow calms me
and covers my anguish
like tissue paper
over a chest wound

Nice job sami,
It really touched me. That poem says a lot that most of us can relate to at some point in our lives.

One thing, you mispelled "sleeve". He has an extra e to go with the makeup on him!

Wow. This is a heart-wrenching poem of anguish. Amazingly well done--you have described the feelings of many in short and precise word pictures. For whatever happened to make you write this, I am extremely sorry.
Gorgeous and painful. Thanks for posting it.

Those are my favorite lines, too. Those four lines alone are a very powerful poem. With the rest of the stanzas, they complete the kill. Have I mentioned lately that Sami's writing rocks my world?

I have to agree that these lines are my favorites also. I love the entire poem, it's well written and creates a strong image in my mind. But the ending just reaches in and grabs you. Very, very powerful, Sami. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece with us.

Wow! This is seething with emotion! As Supes said, damn you're good! I especially like this:

The silent snow calms me
and covers my anguish
like tissue paper
over a chest wound

This rocks! Great work Sami!
