On The Hunt For Integrity

The sky is filled with crooks,

Claiming superiority,

Clinging to filched stars

Burning tips of fingers

Born quick and devious

    I absotely love all of this poem. Short, succint/terse, and sweet.

    My favorite lines are the first two: "The sky is filled with crooks,

    Claiming superiority".

    Ab fab, dahling.

    I walk the earth, humble tumble, claiming know thing.

    I might suggest an experiment with alliteration, thus:

    "The sky is filled with crooks,
    Claiming superiority,
    Clinging to bling,
    Cracking fingertips,
    Quick and devious."
    and extend/interpolate, thus:

    "The sky is filled with crooks,
    Claiming superiority,
    like heaving above heaven;
    Clinging to bling,
    like zodiac stole all the stars;
    Cracking fingertips,
    like knuckles burned for release;
    Quick and devious but unlike
    new born babes, not to be borne."

    I critique in response to your message, by way of example rather than 'suggest you change it to this', by way of 'in another mind time-space, try this' rather than amble preamble to another's ramble tamble.

    This is a nice write. In this world it is like everyone for yourself. It has becomm a world without feelings and if you have them you might as well keep them in.

    Sometimes you have to look under every stone!

    Yep!
    Integrity is certainly hard to find in people now-of-days.
    But never give up!
