PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I feel like Esther, from "The Bell Jar"

Loose change in your pocket

Loose marbles running around

The author was inlove with metaphors

And after she stuck her head in an oven, everyone

loved her

A brilliant sacrifice, so that men may know the

waning difference between human and ghost

And Ive got this picture in my head of

what it was, and what it should have been

But like any other idea of mine, it just

becomes metaphorically dead

And I could spout out analogies all day long, like,

sanity to an artist is like oil and water

One just sits on top of the other

laughing, peering, heavy

Esther, Esther

You know, Esther and Kristi have the same

amount of letters

I wonder how much of a difference

there could be

between Esther and me
