      <description><![CDATA[This is a profoundly felt poem, Khalida, and your original knee scrape metaphor carries it well from beginning to end.

A most unusual phrase &quot;nail furnished&quot;.  Is that poetic code for &quot;tacky&quot;, or is it a phrase of common application in some environment I am unaware of, where sharp objects on the roads frequently cause punctures?

      <description><![CDATA[Actually, I felt bad for the speaker and wished she didn't have to go through what made her write this poem.

      <description><![CDATA[This is very rich in imagery Khalida, especially:

But I seem to wear 
my bear feet and it hurts 
to step on shards of aloofness 

Images such as this, along with your metaphorical reference provide excellent examples of some of the elements that separate poetry from ordinary writing.

Well done!  It is good to see you posting once again.

      <description><![CDATA[That metaphorical scrape along with the physical scrape wrap
this poetic up in a blue ribbon IMHO K.Q. I loved the tight
adherence throughout to the metaphor and its 'time' application
and utility. A very good write. tom]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I can no longer find the friend 
in you
which reminds me 

When I was eight
I scraped my knee so hard
the skin
peeled off 
almost to the bone
I thought I'd die 
but I didn't
like now and so 
I know I won't
die

I can no longer see the me
in you
and the scrape is even deeper

Every bumpy word you say 
slays a good memory
and they have become 
bumpy and nail furnished
the verbal roads we travel
But I seem to wear 
my bare feet and it hurts 
to step on shards of aloofness 
wear a thorny crown 
prick and jab thoughts

I can long for an end
and perhaps for once 
ignore means to heal the real scrape that hits bone
If I can]]></description>
