a place between the cocoons and wrinkles.

This is what I want:
IMAGERY.
Don’t give me tacky, over used metaphors I’ve read thousands of times. I want ripe, soulful words and metaphors that will leave a thousand, boundless imprints on my soul. Hit my nerves. Create art not commercialized shit.

If I don’t feel your piece conveys originality in subject matter and word usage, you’ll know.

Rules:
-Username in AN
-Left align
-Freeverse and prose only. No rhyme.

You can enter as many times as you like but only with fresh pieces.

I'll add HMs depending on how many pieces I get and how many I like.
