Shell

Lonely in the exo?
Hard and brittle
(Tiny, little).

Under the roughness;
Cradled in silence,
Self-safe.

But I bet
When you crack you're jus'
A nut.

He keeps getting better and better... I really like this piece Costa, it's short but manages to at the same time have a depth to it, something that isn't easy to achieve.

Thanks for reading, Trace and Mitch.

I'll see what splitting the stanza up 'does' for me :P, thanks for the hint, Mitch.

Short and witty. A nice write. Perhaps you could seperate your first stanza into two three line stanzas?

Thanks for the read
Mitch : D
