Paper
May 17, 2013
Words upon its face.
Drawings resting on its flesh.
Lines stretching across
row after row.
Holes on its side
stabbing metal on through.
Stacking one on top of the other.
Books filled.
Notebooks ready with its contents.
Its body,
covered with marks.
Red and blue
being the only true colors.
Bonded in groups,
yet can never have enough.
Drifting away with written words
when the wind blows strong.
Showing love, hate,
and friendship as well.
Paper.

This was brilliant, and very good vocabulary. I could see colours, and I was surprised such a simple object could resemble so much... I only saw one thing; usually, and I know this is a free verse, really great poems flow really well, and I felt this one was a bit disjoined. Otherwise, I found this simple thought intricate and new... Thank you for writing this. Four stars. Keep writing!
I think this subject -- defining paper as a muse -- is a little overdone. Not that you didn't write it flawlessly, because you did, it's just kinda a cliche at this point. I think it lacked something, but that you still managed to convey a message. XD sorry if that's too honest. I'd give this a 4/5 stars :) Keep writing!

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
