I guess I wrote another poem

[tahariel]

Headache day = not fun. But I wrote another poem today. It's weird; I was never much of a poet before, but I'm quite enjoying it now. It's like all my creativity is finally finding enough headspace to come back in from the cold wastes of the last few years of struggling to squeeze out enough words to fill a post-it note.

p.s. I know it is not Sunday today but it made a better title


slow sunday prose

I fall in love with
                        narrative
and tone
when
a story is not just a story but
a window; watching
other people’s lives like
            falling
leaves
                        and
                                    blasphemies
and
            the smell of skin under glass
I like to live vicarious
                        deep-ocean feelings
then shelve them when I’m full and brimming with
sweet soft sounds of
distant loves and

pages turning

This is a lovely poem, and if I weren't under a redhead I'd say more.

Thank you, and have fun :D

AHAHA. That's quite the mental image you must have of my journal-reading practices.

That particular redhead is 3 going on 13 4, and she likes to sit on my back while I'm reading things in bed.

BTW I PMed you about the NYC questions, but LJ has been messign up notifications for me at least lately so wasn't sure if it reached you.

That really is a good poem. It is the feeling I get whenever I read a book, perfectly expressed, along with the remembered sensation of physically turning pages. This new-found talent for poetry should be continued.

Thank you, darling :D I'm definitely enjoying writing poetry at the moment. Most of the stuff I started writing recently has been in response to internet!fail of one kind or another, but it's becoming more rounded now. (If you look on my lj there's another poem from a couple of days before if you're interested?)
