Desperate Times

Written for Tovli's 10/40 challenge. ( USING ALL TEN WORDS, WRITE A POEM THAT IS NO MORE, OR LESS THAN 40 WORDS: Pitch, Throat, Scraped, Landed, Lamentations, Breaking, Fat, Sorrow, Alphabet, Unpolished)

 

Desperate Times   Unpolished lamentations scraped their alphabet of sorrow formed within life's throat no longer warmed to smirk at grief’s poor breaking bones and chew away at hope’s loose fat while landed shards pitch bitter barbs at those who act as diplomat.
