I can't pretend to understand this poem.
It's definitely interesting, alternating between
crumple, crumple and the rather macabre words following...
very clever.


good alliteration:
Desperately disparaging
swathing, squirming

This is really good, Bic. Fanastic use of words, and I like the metaphor of the worms - you've exploited it with great skill.

Good job.

This is deliciously clever and a masterful weaving of words. The honesty and message within left me in enjoyable bittersweet discomfort! Possibly my favourite work of yours so far and I would have loved to have awarded you a six for this!

Kindest of regards,

Mrs D :-)

People really make you feel like this with all the mask and layers they hide behind. When we open ourselves to truly being seen, we may find more blessings than we know. I really enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing.

That's a horror thriller poem. It's so... graphic. Gory details. Not enjoyable to read as that stuff is yucky. It seems very Halloween.

Excellent work.

The saying, "Opening a can of worms," refers to asking for trouble. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Great sustained metaphor that gives new depth to the old saying "a can of worms". Some vivid phrases, " Unearth
prosthetic beauty." and "writhing
worms of canned intent;" struck me in particular. An interesting, if not a comfortable, read.
