Short Panicky Poems

Have Prepared for Being Panicky

Until gone;
Having horrible effects on humanity.

even from afar like a tall tree

for with this rain that heavily falls
and the sun that crazily burns 
and the wind that deeply blows

they erode your skin powder;
exposing panicky beauty in you 
crawling like a startled spider...
