i smoke and i drink and every time i think i have a tiny dream

i'm finding it hard to write at the moment, the imagery all comes out the same and everything lacks originality.

So... i want you to write an original piece, with beautiful words and interesting imagery, similes and metaphor and such.
i love sylvia plath, ee cummings, emily dickinson, poe, and such like poets.
i also love -ButterflyCuts-,
-foreverandever,
Moonshinesuicide,
blemished irises,
and CarCrashHumor,
so check them out

x


i want personal pieces, heartfelt and painfully beautiful, i want to understand the pain of your world, as well as the details that make it special.

i will comment all entries critically, if you don't like this
don't enter.

love, Con x

    I really appreciate your criticism on my poem!
    I felt that "blackness" and "dusty mirror" were a bit cliche, as well, but I couldn't find the right words to replace them...

    I went back through and tweaked those two words, replaced "blackness" and "dusty" with "ideas" and "rusty"
    to add to the irony of the piece...
    I hope you like my short revisions, and if you can think of anything else to help me make my good poem great, I'd really appreciate it!
