The lonely tongue hissed
It was another ugly day,
He sat shredding skin.

Woah. This poem is so powerful, and for the first time, I have no idea how you did it. This poem was so good, I'm at a loss for words. Great job, I loved it!

Thank you Elisa. After reading this, I can say my job is done :)
I need to pick up on micro poetry man. My verbose and neurotic brain cant seem to squeeze in so much into so little :/
Great work, really impressive it seems to me!

This so was splendid!
Lol.
I can never be great with micro poetry.
