Violence is not the answer.

• Artist: PandaEnlightenment
• Description: sorry about the unusual title, which has nothing to do with the poem's content. it was an untitled poem, so i figured daggers, blades, violence, no.

throwing my daggers
in the dark, I took
a stab at your love,
in a daze
when you switched on the lights
and smiled.

though, to be completely fair,
i had peeked under my blindfold
a time or two,
trying to convey my intentions
with not-so-subtle subtleties
that seemed to fly over
your silly, oblivious head,
leaving me to hop around
like an injured bird.

but the bird flew again,
oh, it soared.
how stunned i was when,
after brandishing my blades,
i saw your face illuminated, and your smile,
and your hand, which held
my dagger with a gentle, steady grip.

Violence is not the answer,but the question and the answer is YES.Nice poem,i guess making violence seem graceful is another way to go.

Thank you. ^^ i actually didn't know what Softer World was until I read that comment and Googled it. ><

Intriguing, and I like the Softer World stab at phrasing.
It just needs polish - draft, re-draft, peer edit, draft, final. Your first piece really shouldn't be your last piece - for error's sake and creativity's sake. Ulysses certainly wasn't written once.
