Spit

Upon worthless
You do find yourself

Rivers flow
Amalgamating you in blood

Anger causes
Your thrown down state

Young do
often abandon you

For none
want to keep you

    The form was really organized and I liked it. The rhythm was a little choppy, though. It didn't flow as much but each little stanza seemed to be a poem in itself, which was interesting. The word choice was too simple and I gathered no sense of atmosphere or tone. Conceptually, this was a mess. I would have hoped that you could have expanded the word 'worthless' and added onto that concept since 'spit' happens to be a disrespectful sign for something that is useless or inadequate.
    Anyway, Thank you very much for entering. Good luck in the contest.

    interesting. I like the way the stanzas are set up and the color choice and the word choice. however, no real meaning seems to be there. good luck in the contest!

        Spit can be a lot of things, its really how you use it. Spit= saliva= acid= dissolution= potential digestion of self or of happiness or..whatever.

        It's about thinking outside the box and beyond the actual material object. ANYTHING can symbolize something, even a broken bottle cap. Just take time to think about it.
