Swaddled inside a handkerchief
Nines ounces of red ripe fruit
Gifted, that you might preserve
That which fear bid me consume

I have writer’s block right now it is a confidence thing mostly I psyched myself out 😛 The female heart weighs about 9 oz hint hint haha
mindlovemisery 
Seriously I love each piece you right. This is just amazing. Wish I had thought of writing this.
Awww thank you so much Anja =)
For writer’s block, this is very fine writing!
Thank you very much! My inner critic has really gotten the better of me lately and it is hard to write when you second guess every idea
The inner critic needs to be placated with some chocolate. I find that usually helps in dealing with mine.
How did you know I was sitting her eating chocolate lol
Cool – packs a punch in very few words!! 🙂
Thank you Helen =)
For writer’s block, you still amaze. Do not talk yourself into writer’s block…..if you claim it, you may own it. Just keep writing…anything and everything. What sounds bad to you, may truly bless someone else. I am one of your biggest fans!! Big hugs, Sweet Friend!
Awww thank you Skye =) I write regardless that is part of my training to write everyday no matter how I feel it is tough sometimes but even if I don’t produce something good I think the effort is valuable =)
And here I was thinking “Pomegranate” 🙂 (joking). Great post!
lol well pomegranates have their charm too =) They are so ugly outside but on the inside they are full of jewels
Very true! Red grapes? LOL!
That is an excellent guess I mean people are very protective and possessive over their grapes maybe that’s just me lol
Bwahahaha! “Grape Holder!” LOL!
I am my husband calls me a squirrel the way I hoard and stoop protectively over my food particularly fruit for some reason lol
I come from a large family (12 siblings) and I STILL to this day “protect” my food when I eat…. I stabbed my oldest brother with a fork when I was a kid when he tried to steal my meatloaf… HELL NO! That’s MINE!
LOL I spent a lot of time with my food thieving cousins. I can’t imagine 12 siblings!
Every day was a parade! 🙂 Nut-house.
I bet so! My 5 year old has soooooo much energy and she talks nonstop 12 more and I would be in the nuthouse lol
Yeah…. I have 2 kids… That’s quite enough! 🙂
I got it right the first time I am not going to chance it lol
Did you have your “2nd child” first? LOL!
I think so LOL
I’m having a little trouble picturing you with writer’s block, but if you say so. Glad you annotated because my mind was going placental! Whew! Any way, striking image just the same.
Oh placental I haven’t used the placenta in a poem lol Thanks Scott =)
dang. that was vivid. 9 oz. is that the size of the heart? seems not too large….intense….
A female heart, a man’s heart is 10.5 oz I thought it seemed light as well. Thanks Brian =)
Nice writer’s block!:D The image you portrayed here was astounding, the handkerchief and everything.
Thank you so much!
Your writing never ceases to amaze me and if this is writer’s block, I could use some.
Awww Lisa your sweet your writing is always so amazing!
Yea, I agree. Like it a lot too…
Thank you very much =)
Always a pleasure to read good writing…
Awww you are so kind =)
someone…somewhere will put that in some foil and place it in a book of poetry…to float among the Persian poets… you will get two thumbs up from Rumi….maybe three
Awwww Grizz thank you!
