Sizzling thoughts
baked in burning skulls,
sliced and served
in salvers white,
before starving minds!

Valsa, you have incredible alliteration skills! This rasping, frantic force is perfectly captured by those voices; it matches the power of the metaphor well. This appears like the very beginning of a monumental and spectacular journey. Blessing Valsa!

Books filling all the empty nooks...when we should be writing. We are born to create, as does our Father in heaven. Short poem, but dynamically packed with great inspiration.

Dear Valsa, Your alliteration is fantastic with all those 's' sounds creating this hissing, urgent energy that matches the intensity of the imagery perfectly. I think it reads like the opening line of something epic and unforgettable. Blessings, Valsa, Daniel
