Cotton Candy MAG
October 25, 2008
puffs of sweet fiberglass
dissolve into pink crystals
on the pinnacle of my tongue.
they fall like tickled icicles
puncturing the walls
of my abdomen.
still I consume
the addicting substance,
permitting my body
to slowly commit suicide.

Sweet! I love how you turned cotton candy into a metaphor for drugs (fiber glass does look like cotton candy, doesn't it?) Brilliantly writen! (and if you don't mind, please read some of my poems! Thanks)

Interesting take on cotton candy, cool poem.
Can someone look at my attempts at poetry ("the violinist" and "for what have all these people died",) rate, and comment, please. I need the feedback.

This poem is really deep and feels like its talking about a lot more than cotton candy! I love how discriptive it is!
