When Girls Telephone Girls
 
Mmph. Just a brief poem I wrote the other day--I was wondering what you thought.

We fight.
Pressing the phones to our faces,
Sweating cheeks, aching heads
A clammy battle of voices and wires.

~~~~

And we crash forwards
Creating the tides of anger
In our turbulent seas of ideals.
But, like us, it batters against rock.
What?
Complacency? Solidarity?
Comprimise or weakness?

~~~~

Whatever our fine feelings,
Our anger is dragged under.
We ripple feebly at each other
Because if we feel pain
We can feel we're still fighting.

Mph.
 
Well, that was constructive. So, how do you delete topics?

The composition is well placed, and if I knew what it was like to be a girl telephoning another girl I might be able to comment more.

However there is one suggestion, what does the poem sound like if you change the last two lines around a bit?

Because if we feel pain
We can feel we're still fighting.

I know it's your poem, and perhaps my suggestion is not what you had in mind, I understand because literature can be very personal, and any alteration can have a different meaning.

I never knew that girls telephone calls were so... hateful. But anyway, I love the vocabulary and the mini saying in the end. Very describitive. ;)

EDIT: I'm sorry if I insulted you in any way. *kneeling*

Hey, thanks! By the way, this probably isn't what normal girls sound like when they telephone each other--as Rexy can tell you, I'm hardly normal ;) But thank you, I'll change that when I get time.
And ta, Slaveless. Much love. :D
