Venom 5...

I struggle

colliding with myself

my tongue laced with venom

Spilling forward

through the void

Once it was your heart

Desperate

to find my way

back to connect

Exhausted by the journey

Wow!! Very strong emotions come thru in both the poem and the artwork. Well done. "my tongue laced with venom". I also like the image of colliding with myself. Powerful.

Thanks Linda. I'm beginning to like your feet.....

Darcy, l really like the line "colliding with myself" very much. It happens when I'm happy and it happens when I'm angry. The illustration is terrific!

Thanks donna! That's an interesting point.....

I like how your words color themselves across the page and your art work is a melted rainbow and graces the poem sooo well. Thank you. Salud!

I can feel the exhaustion

I saw the image before the poem...now I get it! And the poem.
I hate it when venom spews through my tongue.
Now for yesterdays un-informed, ignorant take on the image ...
A baby being strangled by a dragon...the red venom spilling from the mouth of the dragon. Horrible to imagine, I know.

Geez Jan, what have you been watching on tv lately???
Granny Janny H. Jun 15, 2006, 3:06am EDT
Hardly any TV but saw a great film called YES...
I wrote a review of it here on Gather.
I am a peaceful person...but maybe I am repressing a violent side?
Did you ever see Baghdad Cafe?
Darcy Altaville Jun 15, 2006, 11:11am EDT
No. Nor did I see YES....
