Chipped Polish - Poem

By peachalulu · Mar 16, 2013 · ·
  1. * Short poem I'm working on after being caught at my grungiest during an introduction. Ha.

    Chipped polish
    Sum of me today;
    Chipped lilac nail polish,
    Lank hair,
    Feeling like a squirrel has taken fussy
    residence in my chest.
    Over there is a woman with
    satin nails and satin hair
    no squirrel, but a smile that suggests a song bird
    flutters in her heart -
    Sum of her.

    What can I do?
    re-polish
    fluff
    kick out the squirrel, coax in canary birds?

    Why must I always feel like
    the chipped polish? -
    Something must be done about it.

    I think you've nailed it!

    (Sorry, couldn't resist.)


    ((That's a lie. I didn't even try to resist.))

    Sorry but I don't think "you've nailed it". First two lines are great, last one is really lame...
