April Challenge - Apercus


Take a fleeting feeling by the throat

Then crush until all comprehension dies.

Now erect its empty effigy -

And do this day by day, by day, by day...


Should teenagers be obscene

And not observed?


That 'Easy, Self-Assembly Pack'

Will blow your mind then break your back.


Oxford -

Dreaming spires,

Aspiring schemes,

Expiring screams.

All excellent, though I particularly like 'teenagers'...!

A very powerful first line, it had me “hooked”. A clever write.
