"New-Agey" poetry
The main complaint people have about modern poetry is that it's hard to understand, but that's what I love about it! I challenge you to write something thought-provoking and as cryptic as possible- something that makes the reader shake their head in wonder. Don't forget to tag me @Dream !

IN WHICH A GIRL OFFENDS THE HEAVENS
***
I fed the sky a nightmare and it spat it back at me. / I sang us both a lullaby that cursed the whole city. / I prayed the rosary and its cross cut me to the bone. / I reached my hands up high but only caught a falling stone. / I ventured a confession; no one cared to hear my plight. / I left the church and sacrificed my spirit to the night.
