sobriety

Beauty                        of a siren's song
          Achin'                of a waving wall
                  Screamin'  of the white noise


                        long last inhale
and I remember                        the sweetness
                          of the world

            At least not
be seen
            while I'm sober

**better to be read as if you're high, but then look at the prompt and that makes since.**

    I loved the experimental lineation! The last stanza is especially good. You might want to check out William Carlos Williams who was a pioneer in this form - esp the Red Wheelbarrow.

    For someone such as myself,who on the rare occasion is sober(sometimes it takes up to 20 minutes to crawl to the fridge),this is a wonderful take on sobriety.Love the way it's written and someone said it was broken up?Funny...(hic)...didn't notice!lol

    better to be read as if you're high

    I'd have to agree with that =P
    non the less I liked the scattered thoughts
    of this and the state of mind that was set.

    =] good luck in my contest.

      ^^;;; yeah, theres a few ways u can read it too... the one i intended was left to right... as a way that the first stanza is read "Beauty Achin Screamin of sirens song of of a waving wall of the white noise." it is deffinetly for whiel your anything but sober though..
