    Oh, the pain… sometimes scars are wonderful to have… love it

  3. I love those silhouette scars and wounds burning ‘a pale calyx of rose’!

  4. Kay says:

    Beautiful! This is comforting, peaceful, even. A reminder that scars are a beautiful part of who we are.

  5. Other Mary says:

    I like your opening, comparing scars to the marks on the moon. That’s a lovely image and idea.

  6. De Jackson says:

    Ohhhh…scars as silhouettes…now that is lovely.

  7. lillian says:

    Beautifully done. Love the image of the rose at the end….those thorns on the rose can leave a scar in themselves.

  8. Frank Hubeny says:

    I liked the idea of scars being silhouetted by the moon.

  9. Lovely, as usual. 🙂

  10. I like how you structured this poem. Well done.

  11. Truedessa says:

    I like the structure of your words…the reader can feel the angst of the scars.

  12. Bryan Ens says:

    Beautiful poem and photograph!

  13. Xenia says:

    Beautifully done Sanaa, I love the ‘silhouette beneath the gleam’ of the moon.

  14. kaykuala h says:

    felt scars were but silhouette
    beneath its gleam

    One can picture the network of lines dispersed within its shiny beams. Very true Sanaa!

    Compared to the moon the scars seem to shrink a bit into relation. A beautifully woven piece

  16. kanzensakura says:

    Scars are the marks of the warrior who survives.

  17. Such a dance of imagery… and truth. The way the scars aren’t ruling her life but remain part of who she is, still there… under the shine.

    I really like the structure.

  18. Thotpurge says:

    scars were but silhouettes… nice!

  19. Cressida says:

    A lot of pain and passion in this poem. Lovely!

  20. Sara McNulty says:

    This poem wells up with love and hurt. We need our scars to show that we lived.
