Woman in the Pane

The woman in the window glared at its glass,
These hallowed panes with fittings of brass
Have kept her captured, gaunt, and frail,
Smothering her boring, vehement wail.

Stripped are her trinkets, trifles, appeal,
Prized possessions in glaring masses.
These panes suppress all that is real
Concealed and maintained, composed for classes.

The woman in the window finally escaped:
Brimming, then spilling, ovately shaped.
Making her entrance, she greedily sped
No one was there; she lamented with dread.

The pains of the window, now reinforced,
Would strain to blockade her torrential course.

You write incredibly well for a Sophomore

Fantastic job young man. I started writing poetry my junior year. Had a really special English teacher who noticed my interest and ability gave me a little nudge and trusted fate to do the rest.

This is really impressive writing. Great images. Amazing vocabulary. I cannot wait for more.

Welcome,
Tim
