Blythe Creighton Poet Free verse

Sweet and Salty

Salty water has never tasted so sweet.
Tears drop down my face and into my sobbing mouth as I savour my own pain as if it were the last thing I will ever drink.
At least I can feel pain.
It proves that despite my fears, I am not immortal and if I do choose I may die.
I’ve been told it’s wrong to think such things but if something so salty can taste so sweet then why can’t something wrong be right

raven artlyy September 16, 2026 at 8:29 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Daniel Turner March 11, 2023 at 12:16 PM this is disturbing but a legitimate question, Blythe. Answer: I would suggest to try a little sugar and compare. There is nothing that compares with life, even if one is sad. Tomorrow is a new day and things will look different. That's all I got. Keep writing. Welcome to the soup:) Swim at your own risk. no lifeguard on duty:)
