This poem was inspired by the prompt from onesingleimpression at http://onesingleimpression.blogspot.com/2010/02/prompt-103-gold.html
I still have the experimental mindset inspired by readwritepoem which inspired my poem In the City.
Girl on the Beach
She was golden,
gliding across golden sand;
the sun glinted on her skin,
gilded and glistening.
In the waves, she hears the whispers
"you are beautiful"
"you are beautiful"
She lays down in the sand,
a golden corpse,
a skeleton without reason.
She could suck up the whole ocean
and still be empty.
She drowns in water
the sun painted gold,
a melting idol
a forgotten god.
