For a shared coffee
she'd seemingly be your confidante
promising to dispel your woes.
Her flashing green nail polish
will lead you to reflection
of a forests entrance
unlike anything seen.
Until your soul wades
into a bag of pumpkin seeds.
So much for empathy
Perhaps this was her smile.
Her own barbwire rouge.

Hi Antony,

Good one, Antony, but I have to admit that I don't get the part about pumpkin seeds.
This is about being trashed by some girl, as the title shows.

It makes me smile, because I myself put crushed pumpkin seeds in home-made fruit juices, along with quite a lot of other seeds.

Still, your poem has nice flow and can be understood despite my small nit.

Thanks for sharing,

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Imagine wading through a packet of pumpkin seeds. I am sure you'd drown . Naturally you have to sink to do this
That's the power of this lady.

OMG, Antony, wading thru' pumpkin seeds seems to be a formidable challenge.
Must be wary of such powerful ladies... LOL.

I wish you all the best,

A powerful lady indeed !

I really love pumpkin seeds sprinkled on salads - but wading through them is a different matter! I really enjoyed this one.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

Hi, Greenwich,
brand-new here; your poem is a good one, and I might add that my wife, her best friend Jean, and I just returned from Starbucks. No pumpkin seeds, only great coffee. Enjoyed my first read on this site.
