               Plink
               That's the sound of the faucet

Such a simple, silent sound
makes me stir upon the ground

               Plink, plink
               it's coming faster now

Don't disturb me, let me sleep
find another soul to tease
are my fingers longer now?
or is the water.... deep?

               Plunk, plunk
               it's growing louder now

on the bathroom floor, my village
pirates coming
pirates
rob and kill and pillage

               Splash, splash
               it's overflowing now

with each successive slaughter
it gets hotter
and hotter
is this... even water?

               Hiss...
               A steady stream

I can't move
I'm trying
I'm dead

               Hiss....
               You're dying

I twitch
I itch
I'm alive

                Hiss.....
                plink, plink
                .....
                .....
                ..... then survive

What the hell are you talking about? Nice desciption and onomatopoeia usage here. Still, what the hell are talking about!?! Your style is very eccentric... give me an explanation you freak!

Allan to be perfectly honest, I didn't actually like this one. *waits for the beating*  

It didn't feel, to me, to have the same ring or emotion as your past ones. Just my opinion though.

Very creative... "Plink" is my new favorite word! LOL But I am a little confused... what are you trying to really say?

Ok, The very begining of this one reminded me of the day I had my Memory Book @ JRTI, and someone put it under the faucet...That really pissed me off!!! Allan, I'm a lil lost as to the meaning behind this one...can you elaborate?

Great Poem, Allan. Personally one of my fav. from you, but i believe it may some need explaination for the others to understand. I do admit it takes awhile to comprehend it, but it has a great meaning Thank you for sharing this with us all.

I personally did enjoy this one. Very creative and well done. I hope to see a bit more of this. I did see one line with alliteration and some onaonaopia....however it's spelled.
Nice.

Sorry fellows.  Confusing poetry loses its impact after it is explained.
AF, thanks for being honest.  It makes me feel better for all the poetry you DID like.
Everyone else, thanks for the raised eyebrows.

Confusing? Yes.
Crazy? Even more so.
But I'm glad you're eccentric and out there sometimes, I mean...the world would be boring without a little of that, Allan.  
Keep em coming.
