The Worst Place
November 18, 2012
Murky smog deprives
Contaminated pigment of refreshing rays.
Muddy grains stick like a virus.
Dirt-colored foam
Crushes roughly onto plastic,
The only noise
A damp breeze
Blows through tarnished locks,
Upsets a greasy face with a wicked stench.
Mind unsettled, ringing with chaos,
Chemicals bubbling on the shoreline,
Pruned toes resisting the filth.
Eyes wide open, won’t stay shut,
Can’t sit still here.
Need a freaking shower

Every line in this piece was crammed with mood and sounded professionally written... except the last line. The last line just rips open a shell to prove that either you rushed on this poem, or you just have some immature writing habits left. Don't worry; I've got them too. However, you did a great job! Keep writing!
