Pink Fuzz

Brain of mushy pink,
Worm curled in my skull,
Morph and stand up
Under the full moon glow!
Don a velvet cloak
Of blood and nerve;
Whisper in my ear
Electric secrets
To splatter on the page,
Until tranquility returns,
When I must mourn once more
The loss of you,
My muse.

This is amazing--and only in 20 seconds! I'll be honest, I couldn't do it in 20 seconds...it takes me like two hours on a single poem! Finally, another gifted soul! "Worm curled in my skull" is so powerful, like a writer's block. I hope you win. Love, Sara:)
