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
