black room

by Southside girl   Oct 24, 2018


Sitting in a cold black room Elvis shines from the corner the pale white canvas shakes is the paint runs down Cries From the artist Escape she thought it was a dream crunch of whiteness in powder sniffing down the power of Life another few silver Strokes crossed no pink canvas slate Moon as it rips open heart races out as if its cage red paint spores off the rapidly room spins and light go dim light come on and I'm in ER man I almost didn't make it sitting in a cold black room I know I need to change

    there is a good poem here, just the format that puts people off.

    if it was rewritten as;

    Sitting in a cold black room
    Elvis shines from the corner
    the pale white canvas shakes
    the paint runs down
    Cries From the artist
    Escape she thought
    it was a dream
    crunch of whiteness in powder
    sniffing down the power of Life
    another few silver Strokes crossed
    no pink canvas slate Moon
    as it rips open heart races out
    as if its caged
    red paint spores off
    the room spins rapidly
    lights go dim lights come on
    I'm in ER man
    I almost didn't make it
    sitting in a cold black room
    I know I need to change

    **
    Just a suggestion, this is art after all and there are no rules.
