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
