Creative Writing Prompts Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Sotto Poet

1st place in the contest

His footsteps an echo chamber on cobblestones Ruminative walking - shoulders are slumped Bruise, wounds and lacerations coagulated blood Sour mouth ...bile - or vomit ? Pebbles splash smashes the streets lampshade Convincing morbid trance The vein pulsates- on the outside of the skin No antidote Signal flashes; red Glowing grey exhaust smoke Hidden, destroyed shadows ... The night train passed the stop He is gone

An intriguing image you have drawn. Though a stranger, his fate is sealed in our hearts ! What must have made him prefer such a drastic end ! Many questions are left behind to be answered. All the Best dear Anne. Love and hugs

Creepy. Marvelously written Anne-Lise. Suspenseful, but fell into place naturally, not overdone as some. Really fine writing. If the phone rang or a knock at the door, I could not have left your poem to answer, until I finished reading. Intriguing, and the end so subtle. Has to be a winner.
