Evanesce into my dreams
Where I see that which has withered —
morphed and recoloured
Abnormal: undefined
Anchored to another to which I must refine

Had you told me this was written by Baudelaire I would not have second guessed you. Great job!

I'm very new to poetry so I had to search him up and wow thank you so much. This is actually the first feedback I've gotten to this one. From what I'm reading of him now he sounds like a very impactful guy. I'll be checking out videos on him later today and have added flowers of evil to my reading list

Very important figure in French poetry. Is shadowed over by Victor Hugo, although I personally do prefer Baudelaire.

I have since downloaded a flowers of evil epub. I'll get into it soon after finishing this Japanese Death Poem book. Will be coming back to this to let you know
