Madness

Madness Mild Psychosis Grips fragile Precipice Escalating Insanity Purple sirens poised beneath numb bleached eyes Staring down white bulbs blanking glare Piercing screams flip the surge Neurostatements Madness © Kim van Breda – 27 October 2014

Sheer madness! Are you into the medical field? Because you write with such biological thoroughness that makes one grope around for an mental maladies encyclopedia...7++!!

Thank you so much Hannington. No, I wish I was in the medical field :) Both my kids are doctors though, so I guess that makes up for it. Mental maladies?... hmmmm... that is a whole new story altogether. Have a great weekend xx~xx

I'm not all that familiar with the form but it was very effective in describing the word.

Hi Richard.. thanks. Once you discover this format it becomes quite addictive... all on syllable count,the title being 2 syllables.. then going up in two's and back again.. 2/4/6/8/10/8/6/4/2. But I'm sure you knew that ;) A great format for mood poetry xx~xx
