IMAGE OF EARTH AND QUILL

Guest Poet Janie Root



i am eve

i am eve
i bleed and cry
and comfort
the hurting

i am eve
ii bleed and laugh
and offer
experience

i am eve
i bleed and speak
but keep my
heart hidden

i am eve
i bleed and my
soul is showing
in my eyes

i am eve
i bleed

Janie Root's Questions:

Does the repitition in this poem help build the image?

Is the image too obscure?
