1st place in the contest

The venomous claw sorrow's laughter stings a meek cry In the inevitable twilight where scorpions crawl grumpy and curly The fear ... morbid taste of gray ash on my parched tongue Put my demons to rest it's too dark to turn

"In the inevitable twilight where scorpions crawl" This has really created an eerie ambience, sequined with darkness.. "Morbid taste of gray ash" Oh how so melancholic and aching.. Such a stunning write this is dear.. Brilliantly articulated with moving depth and heartfelt emotions of painstaking suffering.. Sending love- best of luck in the contest!

I really love how you write dark, your way with words, and how descriptive you are in such a concise manner truly is impeccable. Theres so many lines i love in this like “ in the inevitable twilight where scorpions crawl” whoa! I love “ grumpy and curly” too, “ put my demons to rest, its too dark to turn “ brilliant ending. Soul hitting write this is. Loveee this
