Acrid Soul

HURT (Acrid Soul)

Hurt
Lingers
on her tongue.
Lips unable
to adjust. Prayers be-
came her remedy. Lips
slowly moving; causing her
tongue to breathe yet again. In hopes
of not tasting another acrid
soul as he. Now, oft to the next entree.


Pace, G

I am enjoying being introduced to new styles of poetry. Although I have been writing poetry for myriad years, I confess that I am ignorant of all these different styles I am discovering. This is cool; I really dig it :)

G Pace, this is a very nice and moving etheree* for us females, I love the waking up deal.. Now who can ever go back to the same bitter taste. Waking up in the morning to old dreams gets kind of old... thanks God, for all them peeps out there stealing hearts left to right,.. anyways~ Back to your poem, I'm glad she is moving on to another feel, maybe this one will feel a whole lot better. Hip Hip Horay for Prayers... God Bless you...PD

The bitter taste of wasted love gets thrown out with the scraps. To leave a dog beg for a bone and starve to death, perhaps. The winds of change blew up a storm. The winds of change are now the norm.

First off, very cool title (and thoughts into it), G! Sometimes hurt can definitely do that, leave a bad taste in the mouth but you are so right, prayers can heal-- love how you refer to it as "remedy"! Hopefully she'll taste something sweeter this time around! A loaded write in so few lines, really love this one :D
