Hello, High school student writing poetry for the first time.
Here's my introductory poem I guess:
Tinnitus
The car rubbing rubber against
The wet asphalt,
A relentless activity
Until finally – fire.
A billion babies
Screeching for their mothers,
Their minute legs kicking
For the milk from their bosoms.
The whistle of a man,
A sharp knife slicing the silence,
Calling out in the distance for
The dog he never had.
The wind laughs at the joke
until it runs out of breathe,
Stops to inhale,
Then laughs again.
