I felt it then. Something
Happened, but I'm not sure
----What.
It was a pleasant scent and taste
At first.
----------But now it's
Poisonous and deadly.
I hope I don't fall
Down the rabbit hole.

I'd appreciate you telling me when prewrites are openI have a few to look through on one topic that I really can't bring myself to write anything new about right now.
Thank you. Good luck judging. -

Mmmm bookmarked

my entry is called "sinking."
it's about sexual abuse.
(I'm posting this because - thanks to the new anonymization program - the username in your author's notes thing doesn't work anymore.) -
I've never written a poem that I just let flow instead of concentrating on the rhythm and the rhyme, so you got something special.
It's called "The End."
-
username in author's notes doesn't work because of the anonymization thing, soo... my poem is "sinking."
