You may look now,
out frost-washed windows
as lights form your name
and I unwrap the presents
of your smile.

Written for the `ArtistsForCharity Winter Contest [link]
Salient details: Writers: Your entry is a poem that will be added to a mug with `ArtistsForCharity colours and theme. It must be a short poem of no more than 5 lines. Make your poem stand out; we are not looking for a Hallmark card. No need to spend time on an artistic presentation of the poem - it will be judged on the writing alone. Entries close November 1. The title is simply 'Surprise' - the contest requires us to have 'lit' placed after literature entries. One day, I will learn the art of granting poems quality titles. Until then, I am well aware my titles are bland, I'm working on it, so you can all bite me  Benedictions all! |

Trying to learn freeverse. I'm working right now on tiny poems - i.e., concise but deep. Then I might move up.
But I'm no Christmas-writer... So I'll have to survive without the contest.
Cheers,

You don't know me.
So don't act like you do.
Don't ask me either,

the comma might work better for me if you reverted the first line back to someone speaking it.
and i'm not liking "lights form your name". i dunno what it is about it, but for me it just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the poem.
