ok- can't think of a title.
and sorry if it's crap- wrote it at 4am- couldn't sleep so composed it in my head then wrote it on scrap paper. heh.
suggestions please :-)


Sapphire sparkles
 1
Across wet cheeks
 2
As peal ovals roll
 3
Down her marbled complexion
 4
From ruby eyes;
 5
A desolate figure
 6
Emerald memories flash
 7
Like diamonds across
 8
Her jaded mind,
 9
She feels the glass
 10
And the hot sticky breath
 11
Of the man that took
 12
The beauty away.

way too many gemstones. It's like a gemologist convention in a soup

What are peal ovals?  Sapphires are blue so they are on her cheeks why?  

I don't see what you're going for, sorry.  Can you tell us about it?

"As peal ovals roll/Down her marbled complexion" - weaker than the other lines.  Consider revision?  Powerful word couplings otherwise.  I agree, title needs work.  i always feel small, effective poems need powerful, exciting titles.

lol- as i said i wrote it early in the morning. and to be honest i should have researched a bit before writing this. the idea was to use lots of gemstones. unfortuantely- all i know are the names of them. haha- when i've got the time i'll edit this so it makes sense.
