My Trenches Poem by Lea Simpson

My Trenches

Rating: 4.8


I invited him to go to war
And come into my trenches
To be pressed against a cold, brick wall
To endure my strokes and clenches

My dress fell to the floor
Like a gauntlet
Even my flaws
Love to be flaunted

Like the gauntlet/flaunted rhyme and the almost brutal imagery. I give you a ten for this war. -chuck
