Challenge
Ok, although I know most of us can be very critical of ourselves, I think we all have a favorite or favorites of our own work. Maybe we posted one that didn't get very much feedback. That is what this challenge is about! That one that slipped by! There may be more than one, but just pick the best and post it here. If you feel like it got neglected or you're just very proud! Post the best poem you feel you ever wrote on Prose! Don't forget, tag me
bookuswormus in Poetry & Free Verse

Electric

there’s neon blue underneath my fingernails and between my toes

and cloyingly sweet behind my teeth

i’ve got words rolling around my mouth

like marbles, darling

you want to hear a secret? pick one

they’re hanging in strings from around my wrists,

digging into my pulse point

like teeth,

my skin breaking like the crisp of an apple

trust me when i say i’m not going to stop you–

so by all means, go ahead

and take a bite
