Magpie Tales #55

Killing Words are Death to Love

Sour to the core
Mean flavored
Acerbic and without love
You sucked the sweetness
From my soul
Leaving me
Tart and biting
….Too much like you.





I recently realized that it's been too long since I tried my hand at one of Willow's writing prompts. Why don't you give it a try as well?

    This was really good.;) I can feel the pain.
    I can not do this - poetry writing is simply not my thing.;)

    'this is to the one who got away, to the one who made me' came to my mind after reading your entry. Nice!

    Cara Steviewren tu ed io siamo abbastanza simili siamo entrambi riflessivi. Il post che hai pubblicato rivela a me la tua grande sensibilità e dolcezza. Steviewren amica mia, entra nel mio mondo. Ti lascio l'indirizzo del mio blog. http://ilregnodelleone.blogspot.com Con amicizia Giovanni.

    killing words are death to so much, hard hitting, which is impressive in so few lines.

    or as I like to call it: 'Ode to my ex-husband'. LOL
    I was just thinking about you this afternoon. Came home from the pottery studio and pulled some things from the kiln. I'll be posting them later this week. Glad to see the creative juices flowing - beautiful writing.

    Stevie, this was great. So creative and well done! I hadn't done a magpie in a long time myself so I was inspired by the blood...my forensic soul, you know. Mine is at:
