My call's a cellar door
That unlocks my fears
With no rusty hinges
With no wheels to squeal
My call's a cellar door
With vascular veins
With featured fringes
It rules and reigns
Over all other doors
Drawers, attics and stores
My call's a cellar door
That unlocks my fears
With no rusty hinges
With no wheels to squeal
My call's a cellar door
With vascular veins
With featured fringes
It rules and reigns
Over all other doors
Drawers, attics and stores

Hi Rula
Very nice, but such an opening! First I would split the stanza's
My call's a cellar door
That unlocks my fears
With no rusty hinges
With no wheels to squeal
My call's a cellar door
With vascular veins
With featured fringes
It rules and reigns
They are two connected but totally different images, the space helps set that up.
ok. it reigns....reigns over what? keep going with the train of thought of this poem, just first thing that comes into your head.
The poem you have started has a lot going for it It has established a voice, a theme, the style of images, the form of the lines.....that's the hardest part of the process. The rest is the fun part, just being free in that which has been established.
Thank you Mark
Your reviews are highly appreciated.
A couplet has been added. Hope that makes a better read.
Hi Rula
This has a very smooth flow at least to my ears. I agree that splitting it into stanzas would make it better but the shop only requires a musical quality and this Does have that
Hello Stan
Appreciate the supporting comment.
I thought the piece is too short to split, but as you (masters of poetry) suggested the same, I had to comply. :)
Can't add to Mark and Satan's critique
except to say this works really well in terms of the parameters of the workshop, using aural techniques really effectively.
Wonderful to hear you voice too! Thank you so much for giving us this extra dimension.
Thanks for the visit jess
Still wish to have it read by you when gears are ok.
Highly appreciate it.
