slivered arteries branched into split ends as the clay in spoiled lead hardened around the alcoholic drops in his blood stream; pinning his arm to silver windowsills
...
saucy eyes peered at him and its deceitful beak began pecking...

At my great age, I dislike talk of the A-word

what a weird prompt and yet how you took it to infinity and beyond
and i loved every second of it :] -
Kira! What a wonderful write the imagery is stunning! I feel like I grow a little every time I read your writes, they are truly thought provoking and cause me to see the world a little differently. Thank you. I bow to your talent

Reads well to me. Congrats on the silver.

Wherever the prompt takes you is wherever it takes you. I was looking for in-depth poetic responses to my ideas and found thus in this piece. I adore the description of arteries splitting into split ends. It's a very creative dive on the prompt. This isn't quite what the prompt meant however but that's fine. I can't control where it takes you; that would be like writing the poem for you. Thanks for entering and best of luck. Pen on.xx

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that one. Funnily enough, after reading it again - I really love the title you chose. Didn't pay much attention to it the first time round. I really love this!
