Innocuous Intent

Though perspicuous from your tongue, your inurbane words flatter no one. With their capricious nature you can't see how they alienate your heart from your mind, yet your transitory thoughts still gravitate toward malignant ideas which dissipate in rapid secession with each scapegoat that you find. 08/31/16

This was amazing James how you mastered these 10 words without compromising coherent thought. It is a great stand alone poem even without the 10 word challenge, had to be #1. Just what I was looking for congrats on a fine win!
