stretched by Richard Trotter The scorches from one gaze, stinging flesh pulled like a cord, the crumbling rope bridge of days seconds of blue magic stored, its lack of substance betrays imagined freedom so flawed. 03/10/2004 Author's Note: I know this is not very good, and when I read it back it feels like a string of unconnected images, but i posted it out of boredom.

Posted by Trisha De Gracia on 04/22/04 at 11:29 PM The rhyme scheme (if you were going for one) is off with "flawed" at the end. That was just my impression. It sounds like you're playing with the imagry, concocting, and I like that. Nice.
