Calico baby

My sweet obsessed dream

Calliope honey

dew drips from your seams

Rock with the wood swing

Swing from the trees

Your youth is my muse

The prisoner's me

 

Calico baby

Plain and serene

Calliope honey

Draped wildly

Posed on the marble

lost in your thoughts 

dew drips from your lips

Sweet air you don't breath

 

 

Calico baby

Come home to me

Calliope honey

The Magpies won't sing 

They wait for you now

Perched on your tree

soft now they hear it

Dead poetry

Applause

"...Perched on your tree/soft now they hear it..." A fine example of caesura (the natural gap or pause between phrases). I enjoyed the poems cadence ~ Allets

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Lady A. Hard to capture smooth cadence in every poem, it comes and it goes. Thanks for the read!
