    Senses

    Another drink
    Another thought forgotten
    *********
    Eyes open the world rushes in.
    Blink!...Myriad emotions
    To much, Atlas, close them.
    Still an incubus.
    *********
    Fetid flesh, constant now.
    No relief.
    Temporary fix. Fingers,
    reminiscent of yesterday.
    *********
    Cacophonies abundant.
    Quotidian life,
    of joys and tumult.
    Elbows don't fit.
    ********
    Fecund world for
    the vacuous.
    Pernicious silk,
    assuaged from emery.

    I think is fabulous, and I wish I had written the opening lines!

    Pretty good, I enjoyed it, this is a different format than i am used to, but it is worth exploring, thank you for showing me something new.

    Perhaps if you used a dictionary, it would become lucid.

    I love the lines 'Fecund world for the vacuous.' and 'quotidian life, of joys and tumult' The words pernicious silk go together very well, but I don't quite get what you mean in the very last line.(?)

    'Still an incubus'- I hope that's a metaphor.
    Oh, but I loved it, btw.

    Too many periods, chap. Makes. The thing. Too. Abrupt.
    Do you see my point?
    Try using the semi-colon instead; a poem need flow just sa it needs form.

    speaking of periods and semicolons, i've found that capitalized words at the beginning of phrases/sentences can pretty much replace them when used in an all lower-case poem (handle with care)
