Leather Willis
Please rate my poem from 1-10?
So Clean and So Young
Stagger down moonlit Willis Street
Patent leather spikes snagging in the crumbling asphalt
Collapse
Dizzy eyes are veiled by flickering lids
Head lolls back onto the silent pavement
Remember Christina
Suede and alabaster hands smooth a linen dress
Ice and ancient eyes glance away with somber sighs
Disapproval
Thin lips part
“Stop, little girl
Take time to smell the porch lights turning on
The rain dissolving paint on wooden houses
Breathe the way the would-be-junkies do
When getting blisters from holding hands too tight
Secrets too close
Love too dear”
Eyes flash
Eight thousand pear blossoms shower down upon a sorry face
Like kisses from thin lips, littering the moonlit pavement
Please be tough on me.
I’m thirteen
I’d say it sounds a little incomplete. The images are great, but somehow the ordering of thoughts and the expressions bespeak an incomplete idea. The end three lines express the wish but not exactly, and they don’t quite open the dream to us. The girl sounds like a young prostitute or heroin addict walking the streets near sunrise (your description of the street and houses is GREAT! Makes me wonder where Willis Street is…). She remembers the disapproval of an older person who she perceives as having an icy glare. She imagines the blossoms as a sort of acceptance or perception of purification, wherein she receives the benediction of the disapproving. It is very well done in descriptiveness, but needs more organization and coherence of idea I think. My favorite line: Take time to smell the porch lights turning on (really evocative of the synesthesia associated with a twilight or drug-induced awareness!) I’d give it 7 of 10 for the sheer taste of the words and phrases. But it seriously needs work in organization of ideas.

Both a civil parish and a market town, Petersfield is located in East Hampshire, a district in Hampshire itself. It is located about seventeen miles to the north of Portsmouth and it is found on England’s A3 road. The town boasts a railway station all its own. It is part of the Portsmouth Direct Line.
Petersfield holds quite a number of distinctions, not the least of which is the fact that it is located right inside of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Thanks to a proposal involving such areas, it will ultimately become a part of the South Downs Natural Park, in part because it is located on the South Downs, right on its northern slopes.
William Fitz Robert, who was the second Earl of Gloucester, founded the town of Petersfield back in the twelfth century. Hawise de Beaumont, his widow, chartered it later. The charter was confirmed in 1198, by the man who would later become King John.
Because the town was and is located on routes which are often traveled, its prosperity grew quite quickly. The fact that it was well known for sheep farming as well as the manufacture of leather and cloth on a cottage level, also added to its prosperity. In addition to three yearly fairs, Petersfield also had plenty of markets for cattle, sheep, and horses.
Many well known people have spent time in Petersfield. They include but are not limited to: Flora Twort, an artist; Sir William Henry Harris, a musician; Sir Algernon Willis, Admiral of the Fleet; George Best, a football player; John Wyndham, who wrote The Day of the Triffids; and Alec Guinness, a famous actor.
Currently, the Petersfield Town Design Statement is in the works. It is designed to have a positive effect on the town’s future development. It is due to be completed this year.
