Here are your titles:

20. balcony scars
Rules:
- If you don't know what a word means, Google it.
- I don't want to see the same title used over and over again. Try and give me some variety here, so I don't have to read a dozen entries on the same prompt.
- No line limit
- No erotica
- The title of your prompt MUST be the title of your poem
- Legible text/backround combinations (don't make me go blind)
- Any form/style is acceptable
- You may reserve, but PLEASE finish it before the contest is over with.
- No PW's, one entry per person
Have fun!
