Body


Grotesque, this wench, self-loathing beast
Her hunger quenched, only released
By fantasies, perfection pined
This cursed disease, a lust so blind

Her organs fold, this body spent
To life she holds, barely content
These dagger bones, this sagging skin
Frostbitten tones, here, death begins

Here, death begins, frostbitten tones
This sagging skin, these dagger bones
Barely content, to life she holds
This body spent, her organs fold

A lust so blind, this cursed disease
Perfection pined, by fantasies
Only released, her hunger quenched
Self-loathing beast, grotesque, this wench

Author's Comments

This was written for Poetry Thursday, with the prompt being, "Body". The form was invented by ~feyerabend but all his poetry has been deleted, so for another example of this form, you can read my poem, Baiser Immortel.

Fantastic :)
Unfortunately I've fallen behind with my poetry over the last four years and I'm not able to really critique like I used to. But I can say I love it, flows nicely and feels right.

The form itself is pretty neat in terms of mechanics. On that level I think it's cool, and I enjoy the way you did it as well. I'm not so fond of the way it reads, but that's more or less a side effect of so much structure. Plus I'm entirely insane at the moment, so that doesn't help. Cool either way!
