Confucius Don't Say
Yellow bird that skirts the edge,
Speaking in dulcet tones to
A woman in a duvet.
Dog sing the language.
Bone crush impetus.
Send the scent.
Men in rustic overtone,
Suits slightly large to
Puff up sunshine ego.
Entrance, exit, withal, without:
Trying times that test limitation
Of bloodbath & insecurity.
People that ramble.
Humility that bites its cheek
And swirls decending from multiple tasks.
He would have, he intoned.
Yet a yearn struck between forehead
And cancelled that inclination.
China ochre reticence.
Extrovert bane of fish.
Eating tradition that
Scrimshaws.
Continuation of a
Shy plum that dimple
Smiles in back of room.
I wistfully reflected.
It was nothing that meant
Yet something sat in the echo
That watched me.
This piece was created in a five minute session in "The Most Dangerous Writing App,". Using this website, if you stop or slow down writing for more that a couple of seconds, all your work will be destroyed.
My rules for this game is to only do minor editing afterward, preserving the original stream-of-consciousness result for the most part. Here is the unedited result:

This is my third post of this exercise series. To add more pressure, I am posting the result on Steemit for all to see! The rules are you can only do minor edits afterward, and formatting/ punctuation/ spelling. If you want to join me in this exercise, you can use "tmdwa" in your tags (the most dangerous writing app).
If you do at least a FIVE(5) minute session and post it under the tag "tmdwa," I will curate your post. Don't be shy! It's fun, and will help you reduce hesitation in your writing :)
@d-pendHad you ever heard of The Most Dangerous Writing App before? Try out a 3 MINUTE SESSION (shortest option) and post the result in the comments below for a little reward! ;) Also, if you want to join me in this writing practice, use the tag "tmdwa" on your post if you put it on Steemit :o)
