8 Word Challenge 7 Poetry Contest

Fallacious gossip idle talk
Soggy crackling on the Sunday roasted pork

Plunge me into an inspiral Vortex 
Without a point or cortex 

Scarlet letter's 
Like love withered curt roses
Dance behind the misty tree's of palace courtyards

Bewilder me with remorse 

Why?

Doth my Curiosity get the best of me?

The Totality of it all

Eviscerate this septic wound of failing marriage 
Curiosity has rendered my cat dead

Tantalize me with 
8 short well versed words

That speak to me
Like Bird song before early morning dawn's 

As life carries on regardless 


For John Hamilton's 
8 word challenge - 7 poetry contest
