The creature within
THE CREATURE WITHIN
He stands shirtless in the drifting snow,
offering a pale pink rose in his left hand,
unmindful of the thorns that prick his flesh
causing the ruby drops to stain the white carpet.
The creature within reaches out jade-green claws
and parts the venetian blinds of his ribcage,
to peer with distinct malevolence at the world
that it viciously hates…
Pendragon
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
It was the procession of practically neon colours that got to me!
I enjoyed these lines:

My creature within is all green. Hah!
Oh yes exactly! It's like a mosiac of color.Originally Posted by PrinceMyshkin

That happen on the Soul
And leave it with a Discontent

What makes this piece work is that it's actually "about something," as well as the fact that it contains images that the reader can see, hear, touch, feel. Also, it alludes to the worlds of fairy tales and myths and reminded me of "Snow White and Rose Red."
hm ... a little cryptic ... have to think about it ... makes me wonder
