Dilettante With a Want

With vast logolepsy, I bleed my shaken pen on vacant paper. Ready to howl without opening my mouth as it's locked. My sheet catches human salt water while I ooze out my head's vapor. The odor of my consciousness's dew finally sticks onto each sentence - albeit it was mocked. Because I'm a dilettante with a want for the transparent screaming to be blocked. ~ Written On: July 24th, 2017 Contest: The Sound Of Pages In The Night Sponsor: Sara Kendrick Won: 12th Place

Thank you, Darlene. That's the beauty of poetry; it can at times bring upon an emotion without knowing the true meaning. It's up to the reader to find the definition of the text. I wanted to bring that in my writing and I'm glad you felt that way. :)
