Week 9 words from @shelleykrycer: multitude, plethora, vacuous, vacant, midst.
a multitude of sins gather
swept in the corner
to moulder and mutter
a plethora of vacuous voices
chime and rumble
then tumble into my ears
vacant minds gather
with glazed eyes
and in their midst
I sit

Here are the words and my poem for the ninth week of the 2019 Poetry Challenge.
This week's poem is a bit darker than the ones from previous weeks. I'm not entirely sure where it came from. It's the beauty of writing poetry, you never quite know where it's going to take you. Sometimes I travel to beautiful places and at other times into the heart of darkness. Words are my friends, companion and sword both.
If you want to join the 2019 Poetry Challenge, head on over to my Instagram account where I post the words for the week on Mondays in my story. Be sure to tag me and use the hashtags #2019poetrychallenge and #livepoetsclub.
If you don't want to write a poem, you can still be part of the 2019 Poetry Challenge. Send me five random words and I'll use them in a poem. Either DM me on Instagram with the words or send me an email (indrani at indraniperera dot com).
Happy writing!
