"New-Agey" poetry
The main complaint people have about modern poetry is that it's hard to understand, but that's what I love about it! I challenge you to write something thought-provoking and as cryptic as possible- something that makes the reader shake their head in wonder. Don't forget to tag me @Dream !
Mirrors
Yesterday's mirrors glare and accuse
Black char and blood tears
Fetid air, dead trees
Crows feast upon the dying
Frightened eyes torn from skulls
Broken taps dripping rust
Inner rooms smell of must
Bathed in fear, coated in guilt
Heavy, ugly, putrid
Breaking glass exploding
Festering walls imploding
Shattering mirrors now
Shards, dirt, blood, tears
Entrapment breaking clumsily
Hurting, aching, crying
Shuffling, hesitating, doubting
Baby steps
Falling down, getting up
Ginger hope
Tender caution
