Ribcage Glissando


At its center, a fleshy
pearl; a burning rose 
belonging to a plangent                                  in zeal,
God. A saffron bloom of                              a heaving
heme, spreading its fingers                          concerto     
in a peacock of veins.                                           
Rhythms of ebbing                                      in agony,
breath surrounds                                    a deflated star;
the light susurrus of its                            a muted hum
shielded drums.

Pride Ed

Hello! Just call me Pride, or Bluebird. I've been writing for a little over a decade now. I won some money here and there, and I'm in a few books of poetry. But, I still consider myself a novice when it comes to writing poetry. I learn everyday! My themes/styles/literary movements are all over the place. I attribute that to my reading whatever I could get my hands on in my youth. Never limit yourself; explore genres and things you think aren't for you. You could have a surprise waiting! :P I'm gonna be honest; I only made an account here to experiment with the Poetry Genome, but I kinda like this site now lol My main platform where I post poetry is here -------->https://allpoetry.com/Pride_Ed (registered users can only view right now)
