Those eyes, equipped with icy daggers,
wounded every pleading excuse.
Tight fisted, grimaced, flawless
gestures, framed the vivid
tale of what you spoke,
without ever
saying a
single
word.

Dead and Wearing Green
She was wearing that green dress when I first saw her, five years ago to the day. Flowing meadow fabric draped over long legs, thick auburn hair flowing down her back. That smile. Of course, she is still beautiful now. But now she is no longer alive.

Wow, wonderful job building the intensity to the end!
Brilliantly crafted!
Your nonet certainly packed a powerful punch. Well done.
This delivers on all the promises the cover picture made!
Fantastic! Wonderfully executed, beautifully evoking deep emotion!
So good!! What a fantastically executed concept!
Intense
So fascinating 👏
I'm not sure if I have a "the look". But loved that you used this concept for the challenge!
So very wounding.
The ole stink eye breakup! Great twist on the Nonet challenge, Lamar!
Back away slowly. She looks pissed.
Wow, that’s a new meaning of bilingual. My son is fully bilingual so I was naturally drawn to this poem. Glad to see it’s a different type of language you mean here, Lamar!
Nicely done, sir.
Ah, the power of "the look". My son described my "look" as my "We are not amused" look! 👋💕😊
