Literature Text

A watershed of crimson scarlets
Bleeding out on shattered shores
The ocean with its crashing fists
Bruised and battered Eleanor

The shriek of standstill, smearing streaks
A shadow's kiss with concrete cold
In desperate dive she splits the sea
The cascade glimmers, glints like gold

In blinding gaze of blaring eyes
The second split like gaping skull
Drowning, life spills dripping down
Her headlights dim, the hazel dull

The paramedics found her dead, afloat in the ocean of glass.
The theme I was working with this time was extended metaphor. I had to add the last 2 lines because people I showed it to didn't get it by the end. I hope it's clear enough. Free cookie to the person who can tell me what the poem is about and what the 'sea' is. •3•

It's a bit descriptive, but I figured it wasn't so bad as to warrant a mature content filter...

the visuals were very strong, the metaphor definitely came through.
very very nice work, as usual!
