She wore a red sweater
today
to cover the blue
in her soul.

She wore black sunglasses
today
to cover the blue
and black
on her eye.

She wore a white smile
today
to cover the blue
she found on the test
last night.

You've developed a way of insinuating theme that has an emotional hit by using straight-forward wording. Very refreshing.

Thank you for reading along, Melody. Symbolism escapes me all too frequently, but I have always felt that inference is more interesting that blatantness. So at least I have SOME literary sneakiness left in me! []

Thanks again for the read; everyone's comments really do mean a lot to me.

Hello JeffMeyer!

I really enjoyed how you took simple things, such as picking a red sweater, black sunglasses, and giving them significance with tying them together with why she is doing this. And, the underlying cause that happened to her and how she is using these things to cover herself with. I was wondering with this part right here:

to cover the blue
she found on the test
last night.-

I was wondering with this what it meant but then I realized that with the reference to it being a test that it is a pregnancy test. Anywho, thank you for sharing and keep on writing away!
