Rose Red Poem



Performing Rose Red at Hit The Ode June 2011, The Victoria Brum


Casual is not part of their lexicon,
relying on growls, gruff prose huffed into the neck

They wait in woods, in fact any tree presents danger
It is not the claws that cause a girl to hesitate,
mostly they sheath those




He brings me white roses that smell of other
girls, it is torture








I kick him out of my doorway


I dwell on how he would bite my cheek red






All the stunning illustrations by Hidden Eloise
