More writing

Hey all,

I wrote something yesterday and I want to share it here! It's another short poem, and it was inspired by some street art I saw on the bus. I wish I could have taken a picture, but I never got the chance.

A faceless siren,
singing an eternal, 
dooming song.
Haunting.

Talons, dripping with a sweet,
yet enticing
poison.

The image I saw was basically a nude woman with wings, and in the place of her face was a vortex. I was reminded of Greek myth for some reason, and saw her as a siren. I thought it was gnarly, and I wrote that poem really quick in my head.

It just goes to show you, observational skills can help you so much as a writer.  

Happy writing!
