The farm that is life

by illy7896


Perched upon the ivory, lips kiss the poison as it trickles down their throat

too kind for their own good

Pinpricks of pain that they swallow whole, thorn buds explode in their chests

mutating into the nettles themselves

Reaps the darkness from the colour that is today

                                                                                                        seeds of evil circulate like pollen

Locks away the machines of yesterday

                                                                              the metal rusts and infects the soil of  tomorrow

Unearths the weeds of the future

                                                                                they are buried too deep that a shovel can dig

This poem is... RIDICULOUSLY beautiful. I'm getting the feeling it was meant to be about Snow White? I love the ambiguity, though. The way you've formatted it, small statements of truth crossed out and whispered after each line, are stunning. Your figurative language (and specifically personification) is lovely, and your imagery really brings the reader into the scene you describe. So much is said in each and every line, and each word is so uniquely placed to the one next to it- a lovely diction. This poem was very real and beautiful, and you should definitely be proud!! (:

Oh my gosh. huh wow. I don't quite know how to make this review sound professional because just wow. This is VERY good.
Once again you have used a format I've never seen before. And you've pulled it off exceptionally well. The words of your poem flow so eloquently. Am I correct in thinking this has a bit of a double meaning?
also the line "seeds of evil circulate like pollen" I love that, great imagery. Actually you use great imagery all the way through it.

Aww, thanks! And the double meaning was exactly what I was going for!





Ah thought so! Nice work
