8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1: Birthing a thought

By cadymae


A trembling. Almost ruptured,

The skin of the word droplet

Waits for the tears to flow.

A poem comes forth.

Letters and words.

A birthing.

Skinless.

Free.

    Great wordplay to a countdown syllable count. I'm going to be controversial and argue that the first line is 7 syllables rather than 8 :)

    A rapture, I know the feeling. Only poets can understand seeing the world in beautiful and or vile words all the time it's a gift and a curse to be sure.

    Lots of skin in this game (HA). This was quite the fine denouemont, thanks.
