The Slam: Slammables

On the Count of Three

by Erica, Missouri

Swan-dive, cut through the air, the blue

fall

and try not to cringe

 

as a desert floor comes closer.

Slammings

You tried very hard to mimick William Carlos Williams there, are at least you seemed to.  You created a profound clash of colors and vivid imagery, white on blue on brown.  Great for an art piece, but you need more structure and meaning in good poetry.
