Pathos
The naked girl wiped semen
off her lower lip,
the man yanked his belt
and buckled.
The naked girl smelled
her middle finger tip,
the man tied the laces
of his shoes.
The naked girl twisted
a lock of her hair,
the man clipped on his watch
and checked the time.
The naked girl sank low her head
and clapped her feet,
the man had just closed the door.

"Life. Cup 3 exploration workshop." by @wesley snow

"I absolutely love the rhyme in this one, sir. It is so amazing I've read it more than once, and I may do a recording of it too. I understood the message you left at the end. This is a wonderful little masterpiece. ." -

"The River Runs " by @Seren
"In a way, yes. It is a Japanese fantasy animation by Hayao Miyazaki, about a little girl who discovers the spirit world. Although it doesn't speak explicitly about death (not that I remember) there is a lot of symbolism…" -

"Love Your Heart (with spoken word)" by @Rula

"I Am A Serpent" by @Dalton
"This poem is full of the macabre, and quite heavy with symbolism. I like the twisting of biblical mythology into something queer. The poem works for me on that level. I don't get the goat in the last part of the poem. C…" -
