Mysophobia - A Word of the Day Poem
He had mysophobia
combined with bathophobia
and I’m sure you can see
where that all ended;
fleeing from dirt
in an hot air balloon,
his mind wasn’t broke,
but certainly well bended.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

I love the ending "his mind wasn't broke just well bended". the words you decide to string together are really interesting, and I love how in such a short amount of space you described many things.
