Cloak

poem by: D'Vina Dietrich
Written on Apr 05, 2020

She wears a cloak
It's dark and mysterious 

She hides her face 
And her feelings

Scars and pain 
All beneath it.

When the hood comes off
A beautiful broken woman

She has the wrinkles 
Of many tears cried

A perfectly faked smile
Plastered to a hurt soul

Her eyes bright with
Guilt, remorse, loss

The hood back on 
Quicker then it came off

She continues her adventure
Standing tall

Yet, hiding her beautiful self.
Hiding from the world

The cloak is her safety
Away from vulnerability. 

Never trusting and 
Never loving 

She will never take it off
Why should she?

Your poem is interesting and has a lot of depth to it. In the eighth stanza the word used is "then". It should be the word "than" instead there is a big difference in the meaning of the two words even though they are spelled in a very similar way. Other than that, the write is pretty good. Best regards, K River

Rain falls, Hitting me hard. Tears from my eyes. Thunder roars, Shaking me entirely. Deep in my chest. Lightning strikes, Slashing my heart. Ending my pain. Read more
