Operation Anaesthesia

Screaming til my face collapsed, broken arrow’s here called 
     Dear God she’s so beautiful, a cascading insouciance befalls 
             Forensics yeah they’ll differ, no doubt say, it was inhumane
     I don’t give a fig leaf, as the daisy cutter obliterates my pain

Christopher Flaherty Date: 8/10/2021 12:20:00 PM Screaming till my face collapsed. Outstanding line David succinctly delivered. Another gem fella if i say so myself Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 8/12/2021 1:40:00 AM Yeah daisy cutter aka MOAB Mother of all bombs, designed to obliterate everything in a 1000 yard radius Christopher Flaherty Date: 8/10/2021 4:18:00 PM Excuse my ignorance David i originally only knew Daisy Cutter referenced in golf terms until i researched it's actual true meaning. Poles apart funny how things become appropriated David Kavanagh Date: 8/10/2021 2:04:00 PM Thanks Christopher, was gonna go with face implodes, but went with collapse, makes no difference to the unfortunate soul in agonising pain, the big gun daisy cutter was needed to stop the suffering, cheers David

Sotto Poet Date: 8/9/2021 6:01:00 PM This is an incredible Quatrain, David Sometimes, being stuck and unable to advance specific issues can be heartbreaking. Still, no matter the circumstances, we should keep hope and never let ourselves fall into the trap of the self-made daisy cutter to fight and work to correct it—my best hopes with the contest.
