Pernicious
another train passes along the tracks of an addict sweet liquid poppy never was a good parent although one may be found at your nearest stop and go anything to escape those white picket fences many clean shaven men have stepped from the closet lost in a woman's world as guilt sends them to repent within a cenobitic community it is there they learn true love yet remain confused by the closed door of confession which has become just another closet a sixty year old maiden teacher has settled for early retirement to pursue an education of bliss forfeited for the benefit of others deflowered by a tainted gardener marking an early exit from life another lesson taught...... |

cenobitic?
Wow. Didn't think anyone left alive would ever use that term. Props for doing so. Once again, excellent work. To critique, which I can only hope you'd want or expect, there seemed to be an awkward rhythm from the first two stanzas to the third, and there is so much said here I think maybe you should consider revision. Publishable, man! Publishable. |
