Deadly Sins

Shattered, busted Broken pieces Sinner, lusted Crisco creases White noise High pitched screams Girly boys Wet dreams Blood red stains Off white gown Pistol rings Chalk on ground Lethal needles Veins blown Better feels Than being stoned Strip club love STDs Ketamine rub Nose bleeds Masked face Girl at gunpoint Steps retraced Blow this joint Hep C Painted skin Deadly Seven sins

All sins are deadly my sister. We indeed have to overcome.

Good work, made me feel kind of unwell. So you portrayed the sins in all of their disdainful glory. Kind regards, Craig

Another keeper. Great rhyme and a really interesting abstract way of painting a verbal picture. Well done!!! 80]

Hey, I'm happy to tell you I've managed to escape all of these deadly sins except one: being born. Thanks for reading my Morning Toad. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

i like the vignette-like images of your piece, anna... short, vivid words that highlight man's deadly scenes.. huggs
