Silent Suffocation

A short poem about pollution

---
Silent Suffocation
By: Melissa

When I look up my vision is blinded, and I am trapped beneath a foggy haze of greys and greens that eerily waft above my head.

The inky rolls of fog dance in the sky, creating a show of gruesome delight. The ring man is Mr. Carbon, who giggles in rapture at the sweet sound of the silent screams that echo from the city below. He dances with Mrs. Dioxide, who is immersed in a soft spectral tune that floats through the sky creating a harmony of chaos.

The howling whistles of her ghostly voice bellow through the alleyways creating a sickly sensation of coughs and cries. The beggars below pray for her forgiveness as she enthralls her victims into an inescapable grasp.

She silently whispers the truth of their doom, and suffocates the minds of her traitorous friends.

Re: Silent Suffocation

@Arceus: Thanks! This was an exercise I did today in order to learn how to properly use imagery in my writing.

@Skullz16: Sorry D: , when I wrote this I was thinking about Chicago mostly. There are a lot of places in the world that are less polluted, but the concept was to write about sky, and well I usually put a much darker tone on my works and so that is how this came to be.
