sin eaters

michael raven poems May 19, 2023 1 Minute

butter left rancid
on fly flecked sills
she shadows sharpens
her crooked slant smile
waiting for night's bounty
to shuffle drunk on by

soon, she feeds

Lovely alliteration, and some very clever word play, Michael. I like the picture!

  Thanks. I trend towards alliteration rather than rhyme.

    Probably better at creating an atmosphere.
