counterfeit poetry

POETRY

And when they were done,

there was poetry left

IRIS

Each shade created by a memory

All who have touched her life,

All she has felt,

All she has seen,

Every smile worn,

Every tear shed,

Every lifetime lived......

Each shattered and shining moment,

pieced together

A mosaic

coloring her eyes

#JUMBLE TONGUE -- 3rd installment complete with a Prize! The topic is "death" which means spiritual or physical "death" in the most creative and abstract play of words you can think of. Could be an act that results in death, the aftermath of death, or the essence of death, a Eulogy for the dead etc. Writer's choice. "Best" piece chosen by a 3 judge panel of myself and 2 others. Winner gets a custom ready-to-hang 16"x20" canvas with their jumble on it! (Feel free to inquire for details.)

Countless deaths

She's neglected to protect her madness

She's stood deathly quiet

Sanctioning a wicked execution 

Of her malignant spirit

Abetted suicide 

She's died countless times

Reawakened mutated 

Conscious 

Each death 

Embracing her madness

Clinging tighter

Insanity is her reality

The Stain

My heart a stain upon the street

Crushed beneath your hard cruel feet

I pray for gentle rain to wash away my pain
