My walls rhyme not
My adjective’s untidy order swim upstream lazily
Insanity screams in happy colors in warm waves of cold slaps
My walls unrhyme from our vocabulary family reunion at Loneliness Junction where voices are free verse taunts of nervous laughter
Upstream my adjectives bleed in bear’s mouths
No rhyme or reason
The color of my mental state’s flag at half-mast upsidedown-all-bunchedtogether
Alone with my loneliness we listen in corners orange
My walls rhyme not

So much can be read into this! - I thought it was wonderful! :-)
This was ecstatic!!
Orange is a crazy shade...but, this work of yours tickles the right rhythm!! My walls rhyme not...that was a challenging attempt! Perfect..
Orange walls drive me crazy too!
With well-timed line breaks and finely tuned diction you've conveyed a sense of anxiety and feeling 'jangled." Really well done, Henry.
Ah, Henry, I get it. My walls rhyme not either, and right now I could care less! There is always tomorrow.
A brilliant line Henry....Great write.
Well Done, such powerful imagery, so expressive~
Love the line "voices are free verse taunts of nervous laughter". Like that you found a color to express those feelings. Good one, Henry,
Elizabeth
