Mind Puddle (Free verse) by justjay
Dark. Color. Contrast. Blurring blackness. Heart beating against my shirt. Louder then a sledge hammer. Mind Puddle Oozing out of my head. To the dirty floor. I try to pick it up, but it slides through my fingers. I stare. Stepped on; Splashed. On my pants, shoes, cloths. I can feel it, but no control. I watch as it runs. Runs along cracks and creases. Lost. Gone where I can't see Beyond touch. Beyond feeling. Beyond control.

Up the ladder: first letter level
Down the ladder: Regre

Interesting. The periods seem a little arbitrary.

i specifically put the periods in. i want pauses at the ends of the sentence. i personally wanted to slow down the reader. make them think about what they were reading. i never noticed you could only put 3 poems a week so i didn't even start with my personal favorite poems. but wait till next week.
