Talking Trash MAG

By Anonymous

     Your mouth is dirty,
Full of garbage.
Floss the slander out;
Scrub the gossip off your tongue.
If you’re so nice,
Why does your breath stink of lies?
Who made you this way?
Surely the dentist warned you against false,

sweet remarks.
The cavities that being fake leaves.
Talking trash gets you nowhere.
Dumps don’t even taste that good.

That's so cool! Really cool. I love the personality in it; you're so sassy and it just slapped me in the face. I love the metaphors that you included as well. You have a very advanced style of writing which I enjoyed. Nice job!

I liked the concept of this poem, though I thought towards the end the rhythm started to slip. I didn't like the last line that much. But, I'm new at this site and i'm not that good at critiquing yet so sorry if i wasn't much help.
