Box of Matches is a poem I created in my intro to poetry class. It's written as a sestina and uses only words that appear in Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons. Hope you enjoy it.

71 parts Ongoing

The candid beats of a heart The unfiltered voice inside That finally sets it's free Let me present a mere display of words Behind which, hides memories, anguish, fears, dreams and tears Let's have a view of The poetries I wrote for myself The quotes that run through my head The lessons that I learnt from My experience And a sneak peek, inside my own heart Let's open Candid Heartstrings Cover credit to my bestfriend!
