Riddle of an Oyster
Silver as a seashell,
Round as the moon,
My outsides unassuming
but inside a craggy room.
That's where my beauty is, my beauty untold,
and what my insides hold.

That's a really lovely poem, beautiful on lots of levels.
Tina, I love it too. It's one of my favorite of her poems. She loves riddles--I think that comes from reading Tolkien.
Just my kind of thing. Simply beautiful.

"My outsides unassuming, but inside a craggy room." That's wonderful.
Hedgehog that is a beautiful poem and makes me wonder if your oysters are different to ours in Britain.

Metaphor city! Nice work. She's no Bukowski, and thank God for that!
Aw, thanks guys. I'll pass the messages on to the Hedgehog. I'd gotten her permission to put her poem up.
Dorraine: welcome! thanks for stopping by. I'm very excited to read your book.
UB: haha! no Bukowski, you crack me up. I'll be expecting the angry poetry sometime around 15 years old...
Lovely. Absolutely lovely. Great talent there, I say.
