Decay of Friendship

Lone regale of corpse plant rot. Leaden legs on streets of dust. Crevices of six feet ill. Long nails hanker the earth’s crust. Gray roses laid on tombstone. Senescent-fade of best buds. Repast to pay its tribute. Petrichor release of studs. In morrow brittle thorns stink. Unmanicured foes dig deep. Writhe of vermin circle box. Quondam insomniac sleeps. 9/22/2020 Writing Challenge - Decay - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

A truly inspired poem, Kim. I honestly think it's an unassuming masterpiece. Lucky you, talented you, to have this to add in your bank of brilliant poetry. Right from 'leaden legs' as well as double 'l' line starts, through to three word marvellous last line - rivals any line of poetry ever written, a massive credit to you, Kim. Beyond Top Win, Congratulations..!

Dark grieving of separation so poignantly and well expressed, Kim. Congratulations on your win. And, with an opal birthstone, I think birthday wishes are appropriate. All the best my friend.
