Great stanza, Marcia. Disrepair is such a powerful word. I really like the frozen smile stanza, too. You guys ARE a creative bunch :)

Well, if you didn’t notice how creative we were… that would be a sad statement… grin… Disrepair feels powerful… strange, Bone, that a word that implies something abandoned or ignored could be a powerful word, but it is, I agree.

The description of the hotel and how it reflects the same disrepair and neglect of the speaker is quite powerful. Sad and wonderful at the same time.

Liz, I was inspired, profoundly is not a word I would have thought of, but you nailed it. I get excited when my words move someone… Thank you.

That stanza blew me away. The entire thing was really good, but that part just honestly rung very true for me... and I'm guess for a lot of people. Nicely done. We both,

Thank you, Lissa. I love that we all can say the same or similar so differently.

The warmth of my smile, frozen
gently in place during glory years,
lures visitors who smack into

an engineered glass wall
that reflects only what they
wish to see.

particularly the word ‘engineered’, which hits home to me so much from years of my own frozen (phony) smile.

and thank you so much for your kind comments on my recent posts. :-)

Greggo, you are welcome, of course. Thank you for pointing out the word engineered, it was added after I wrote glass wall, just popped in my head and more or less said, “use me or else.”
