Formaldehyde

pump pump it goes
through all major arteries

cancerous and lethal
to the living

it opens doors
previously shut

brings people together
a substance

more apt at socialization
than liquor

GHOSTS

“Mama, let’s play 'Ghosts.'”

“Okay.”

“Mama, I wish I was a ghost
for real.”

“Why?”

“Because ghosts never die.”

“Experiment” I heard them say.
There is no reference here.
Only the beat of my heart.
And the screams.
Sleep has deprived the bugs of me.
Possibilities of madness perhaps.

I had a little bunny - and honey was her name
She was so cute and funny - till I clubbed her in the brain
 
So sad I had to eat her - but I'm really not to blame
Was the doings of my daddy - and his sickly little games
 
I cut her throat and peeled her - but I wasn't really there
That's the story of my bunny - my lifeless, skinless little hare
 
Have you ever heard a rabbit scream?  It sounds just like me

ARACHNID

little miss muffit
sat there and puffed it
she binged and she purged a la carte
 
along came arachnid
mad at losing his eyelid
chopped her into very fine art

Tq n Kudos all those who entered!!
N reading them has been a learning experience for me in various poetic aspects...the more micropoetry read, the more intriguing are its mutlifold dimensions they subtly reveal..

each scribe a winner to me as i say ever! true that very much.. so keep writing ur amazing words


it was a very close race indeed..hard decisions need to be made with fine differences in score based on constraints- intensity of content, overall poetic feel n word limits.

[N only sad part would be disqualifying two entries for exceeding word limits cos thats wat the microcomp is all about mostly (that of Carpe Noctem n Shaunda's first entry)]

Scores for each entry :(in the order of posting)

Craic (19), Hollydove (first post,15), mikimoondancer (first post,17), LobodeSanPedro (18), Ealantair (19), David Macleod (first post,16), David Macleod (second post,14),  mikimoondancer (second post,16), Hollydove (second post,18), Ghoulie (19), toniscales (first post, 18.5), toniscales (second post,18), toniscales (third post,18.5), db1 (19), shaunda (second post,17)

Andddd, a tie between four 19's at top spots!  
Well done all you four- Ghoulie, Ealantair, Craic n db 1
kindly bear my ranking for trophy:)


Ealantair -Second runner-up
Craicdealer- First runner-up

Razor/Pen

Ashes mixed with perspiration fall in open wounds
Blood soaked butt of a cigarette stains that which consumes
Razors glinting through old smoke
Cutting through veins and hope
Writing suicide notes
