Dirty dishes,
clank and clash in the sink,
I'd rather just get a drink.
I am forced everyday to overcome this fear,
I can't do it.
I quit.
doing dishes is not what i fear,
now come over here,
Listen up,
its just how i wash my cup,
don't laugh at me like the others do...
It soaked up water, and then it grew.
help me please,
i cant touch it no more..
I grab it and throw it on the floor..
mommy please don't make me touch it again..
when do i hurry? when does it end?
A silly fear, tears me the most..
Dive in the Water, Take a Plunge...
what I don't get..is why i am afriad of a sponge!

Sorry for the long wait~ I'll promise to judge by tomorrow ~ I've been waiting on Dark to give me her two cents ~ She told me earlier~ but there were some additional poems submitted since then. I sent her a message... a few days ago~
If I don't hear from her by Friday I will close and judge then ~ Let me know if you have any problems waiting until then ....
Thanks

I liked the way you wrote this. The imagery is out of this world! I feel like I'm standing beside ya. The only thing I can't figure out is it the suds or the water you fear?
Either case I wish you the best of luck of overcoming your fears. We all have em, you're not alone.
Thanks for entering our contest! Pleasure having you! -

Ok...
Don't really understand this but I like the abstract and randomness of it as well -
I really don't know what this is about, but I like it. Very abstract and random, the lines just blend together into one long thought process for me, and I like that. Very inventive.
