For My Lover Returning To His Wife...Anne Sexton

An Erasure Poem based  on Mindlovemisery's Menagerie Prompt




" For My Lover Returning To His Wife " ...Anne Sexton

She is all there
She was melted carefully for you
Let's face it . I have been momentary
A bright red sloop in the harbor
She sees to oars and oarlocks for the dinghy
has placed wild flowers at the window at breakfast
She is solid
As for me I am a watercolor
I wash off

    You've done that beautifully. Your erasure has only enhanced and taken nothing away.

    This is the same poem that stood out to me...you picked out the meat of it...that watercolor bit...the washing off part...wow, that is powerful, isn't it??
