The ground is so dirty
Mud stains the forest floor
dripping blood down the thick
tree drunk
thick, viscous red sap
there is a body in the tree
the sunset is ominous
sounds destrupy the dying calmness
there is salt tears dripping down his face
his saliva exists no more
all is gone
the forest swallows the rustling fo his shivers
ferns cover the ground
animals come out hiding
little beasties wallow in the water of the holy
burning in the poison of the peach
seeps through his veins
the eggs of the deformed fill a nest of the sinners
the eyes of the watched fill the forest
WAKE UP JOESPH
it was all a dream running fingers
across his body
there are leaves in his hair.

Hey Ina, this was a good write. Not my favorite by you though. The imagery was awesome, but the overall poem kinda lost me. I don't come around much but it's good to see that you are still here.

Wow regina, I'd forgotten how strong your poetry was. Haven't seen your name in here in awhile.. missed reading from you. This was very powerful and emotionally gripped. You always have fantastic imagery. You wrote this very well hun. I especially loved these lines:
there is salt tears dripping down his face
his saliva exists no more
all is gone
the forest swallows the rustling fo his shivers

Great work hun and come around more eh? We miss you.

Wonderful imagery, each word is obviously carefully selected, down the most insignificant. The small detail of even the minute words being important tends to be something a lot of people disregard, through habit or ignorance. Your phrasing is a bit confuzing at one point...I say your phrasing because your words convey the meaning well but it's almost halting at times to read it, it doesn't seem to form as complete a picture as such a well scripted poem should. I think it's the part after the line "all is gone" and before the one about the eggs of the deformed that trips up the reader a little bit, it doesn't flow together as well as the rest and I needed to read it a few times before getting the rhythem of it. This is so incredibly well done, awesome, love it! There is so much depth in the poem.
