P o e t r y. verb
: The art of painting a picture with the most vivid of words. Exhibitionism, exaggeration--who knows which dirt roads we tread? It is a form of suicide and we are slowly killing ourselves from the inside out. It is when we can't think of enough words to express a single act of longing, or of lust and love--but are managed to be vomited up from the emptiness of our cores. It's the stench and sting of rotting eggshells under the souls of our feet as we plant our toes into the earth. An artist's vulnerability, their final act of desperation. Poet, turned poetry written in brain matter upon a crimson floor.--Ready for their close up.

| I like how much grit there is in each line. It's real and I think it's straight to the point of how artists and poets struggle in the quest to be satisfied with what they do. The imagery is creative and well done. |

'The art of painting a picture with the most vivid of words'
This is my favourite verse. Because that it self I think sums up the difficult yet creative journey of writing poetry. |

| I think this is powerful and honest and rich, it feels somehow tormented too...provocative and engaging. |
