Sharp As a Marble

With a mind sharp as a marble Words roll off my tongue as garble. My clean shaved head is like a globe Serpentine tattooed, lobe to lobe With yellow, brown and strings of blue Of understated pastel hues Waxed smoother than a scratched eight-ball Like a brain coral, all in all. What is outside is not within Sharp as a marble crown to chin. Sponsor: Hilo Poet Contest Name: Simile Poetry Contest “Sharp as a Marble”
