Eintou winking [Eintou]

by Khalid M Darwish   Dec 4, 2012


Totally sinking
Madly stuck in drinking
Rarely finding time for friend linking
Merely reading and writing poems about body shrinking
carelessly forgetting to remove teeth stinking
Randomly behaving without thinking
Mentally plinking

    Forgetting about removing teeth.. stinking hehe
    and writing and reading poems about body shrinking.

    ^ those are the lines that caught my attention.

    I have the tendency of counting syllables instead of words, and that's what I did with this piece, and I was puzzled until I realized that it was words. lol

    Well done, This is a fun piece, I enjoyed it.
