Harpoon Heart

Innacurate mariner's spear Molests sand, sending reprisal's quiet return wrath of a once in seventy year storm Wounds sailor in scorn Misguided barbed harpoon missiles silt, shore bound Beasts swim by... Breaching, phallic Burrowed harpoon breathes in between spaces grains give Tide brings drink - Salty stew of recourse - rubs sins' reveal Altered memories can mingle with blood's dissolved culmination Persuasion picks apart iron Dagger's gradual horizontal rusts as a Christmas tree spruce in nasal cavity Flavour seasons meat for next festive season 4th August 2020 Submitted for: Chantelle Anne Cooke Contest: Heart's Truth

Sigrid, A riveting odyssey of imaginative lines. Your elaborate metaphors dance across the eyes of the reader. Perfect PS I welcome all comments, feedback, critiques and reviews of my work. Under no circumstances did I object to your crystal color query or regard it as inquisitive. Thanks to you I added a clarifying footnote to my entry. Warm Wishes Howard

You are a gentleman, Howard. Isn't this site fascinating?! Almost all can virtually be identified blind via their style (admittedly font sometimes contributes a clue) Poems are like fingerprints!!
