'pin your words to the page like butterflies.'

I love this line and the poem, though short, is very effective. The imagery is brilliant and the atmosphere in the second and last stanza is chilling. Well done.

Thank you Julie! Really happy you like that line as it's one I edited in to the original.

I blush to admit, Magic that I saw the original film (based on John Fowles' book), way back in 1965 - starring Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar'. It was extremely menacing and made a lasting impression on me, as does your evocative poem.

Much enjoyed;-)

Thank you Tina! John Fowles! That was it - couldn't remember his name ;)

I've seen that too Tina, extremely menacing. But a beautifully crafted and evocatove poem from you magic.

Thank you Chris! We started reading the first few chapters in English and something in the book just struck me!

Hey Magic, sorry I am so late on commenting, had so much work. I really like this poem it is very well crafted as Chris said and chilling and very beautiful. :)

I love the first verse;
You are the poem that will never see daylight.
The walls peer over my shoulder in curiosity,
but I hide you away in the sheaths of my hands,
pin your words to the page like butterflies.
