Cellar Door

Cellar Door

Cellar door
Matador
Spanish bullshit
Crap

Toilet bowl
Scummy rim
Dirty meaning
Stop!

Start again
Repeat the name
Cellar door
Once more

Cellar door
Cellar door
cellophane
And pain

Lock me in
Shoot the bolt
Down the stairs
Again

Red cape
Flies
Planes above
Looking through the
Crack
Cellar light
Burning bright
Shouting out the
Night

Cellar door
Open up
Let the breath come
Back
Up the flight
Hold the rail
Skin is pale and
Damp

Cellar tomb
Its my room
Weird and wonder
Lust
Secrets stay
Where they
Lay
Cellar door
Shuts
Tight

Comments

you got this in one! Nice work! Of course, I'm new to this type of works, so I will let my esteemed partner and the thinker-upper of this workshop, give the verdict, but I think you nailed the parameters perfectly! ~ Geezer.
.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Not sure if I properly submitted it to the workshop though, do I have to do anything else?

And thanks for your comment - it was a new thing for me but fun!! Turned a bit weird, but hey, you never know what is going to come out once you start these things!
