I think it is nothing
you
think nothing of it
neither of us are wrong
but you visit me
carrying your small crime in
a hand
with a mishapened dove
they say,
some ghosts
don't want anything at all
but I don't ever remember
you being so kind.
I feel like I need to sit
I feel like I need to sit with this one, some parts hit hard and strong and others seem to take from the hit...the ending is strong and impacting, and the image of the dove being carried as the small crime..I feel liek the dove could use a different dicriptions :/ gah...I am gonna sit with this one and read it more... <3

The Dove
Thank you for all your comments on my other poems, but I wanted to respond to this one in particular. I never realized the dove could have been seen as the small crime. Like an offering of peace when there should not be.... Awesome. This is so why I love poetry....everyone takes it in differently.
But actually, this poem was about someone in particular, who has a odd tattoo of a dove on her wrist. that being said, I am sure this poem will now make way more sense to you haha.
