Flash 55 - Wanted: Dead or Alive?

[click to make biggerer]
 
Wanted: Dead or Alive?
 
alive
pounding blood
extravagant thoughts
tingling elbows
anticipation

dead
adding machine keys
greasy dish water
grungy underwear
stagnation

alive
bursting colored lights
thumping beats
sharp bright citrus

dead
crusty gummed eyelids
dry tight throat
shingling skin cells

alive
crystal blue skies
diamond cut sunshine
ruby red cheeks
sparks flying between
fingertips
inquisitive minds
& questing lips


 
Play with the G-Man and make him smile.

    I’ll take ‘alive’ especially after reading the last verse. Funnily enough I am reading Siegfried Sassoon’s “The War Poems” which oddly share the same sentiment.

    Vanessa Kilmer...(Thanks)
    I'm afraid grungy underwear is NOT dead in my neck of the woods..:-)
    Very creative writing My Dear.
    THATS why I miss you when you're gone.
    Loved your comparative 55

    Yuck....I'll take alive anyday! I especially like sparks flying between fingertips. I want that. Right now! Wonderful imagery.

    For everything there is a season. Just think about all those little creepy creatures that can't wait for the dead, even the Grateful Dead.

    I like your contrast, and the back and forth. And I've had enough death, I'll choose life :o)
