Your the overpowering smell of cheap perfume in an airless room,
thick make-up on a four year old girl,
the unnatural light from a flickering neon sign that illuminates a dirty alleyway where rats and rabble mingle
You evoke something in me that makes every fibre of my body recoil in revultion
Your the splattered bloodstains on a public toilet wall,
a syringe laying in a childrens playground,
the hand that pushes an old lady down to an icy pavement
You provoke something deep inside that makes my soul scream with repulsion
You disgust me

Wow.... that was so....wow. Good... I really really liked that. I couldn't tell you exactly what I liked about it, there's just something about it. Great job..

Intense -- I like it. Invoking some powerful emotions in this piece, Anya. Loved the metaphors you had going here too. Just watch out for the spelling and grammar mistakes. They take away from the credibility of the poem.

Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.

Sorry about the spelling and grammar, I have always been terrible at stuff like that, I will be more careful from now on

hey,
this is pretty cool, i love all of your images.  you didn't offend me, but you made your point clear with surprisingly few words.  honestly i can't really see anything that sticks out a lot to improve upon. you did well in my opinion =)

Eeeeew! You've done a superb job of disgusting the reader, that's for sure... "the hand that pushes an old lady down to an icy pavement"--I had to laugh at that one, it was just a funny picture. I know, I'm cruel.
Very nice work.

This is raw. I actually felt your disgust (well, I felt like I felt it - make sense?). I could have used that to describe my own feelings towards someone a few nights ago. Good conveyance
