Hey! Hey!
Today’s post is for you lovers of Poetry/Written word/ Whatever you cool kids call it.
I’m known for my horrible attempts at Poetry so I’m always in awe of people who weave words so effortlessly. Today’s word weaver is a lovely poetess who chose my spot as a testing ground so to speak.
Ladies, Gentlemen, the rest of you, welcome @St_Gothica. (Yes, I named the post after her. I’m generous like that…or clueless.)
———————————————————————–
A boiling pot, smouldering with rage;
The cold strike of a lightning flash;
Eyes staring, pushing
Against your wall.
The thankfulness on their behalf
That murder is a crime.
The urge to retreat into a corner
And avoid humanity.
Or go out, eyes and guns blazing,
To rid the earth of its greatest pest;
Its ever feeding parasite.
To commandeer the elements,
To burn and grip and bury and gulp,
To grind and slash till not quarks remain.
Or to build a fort of ice and stone,
Unaffected by the words and stares;
Impervious to the deeds and seeds,
Of discord and disdain and distaste.
SO EASY
“It would all too so easy.” I thought,
“To pick up the gun and fire a shot.
Or even more soothing and pleasant it’ll be
When I feel my life-blood drain out of me.
Or just a little pain I’ll have to endure
If I took some pills and passed out on the floor.”
All this my mind said to me,
Promises of peace wide as the sea.
But a little further,
My heart couldn’t but falter
At the thought of being forgotten in dust.
Then at that I thought,
“Oh I won’t be missed.
There’ll probably be something new,
By the time they sit in the pew.”
At this I take my leave
(The noose I have just wouldn’t give)
I wonder which of the verses would live….

From a poet to a fellow poet. When can we lamba? A̶̲̅♏ sure our kids would be extreme!

Thiis is lovely cause its something I can relate to.. The feeling that is…
And what is a poet if not a channel for feelings? 🙂
My favourite was the first one. The medieval war imagery was good.
@weird_oo I remember your poems the other time. they were good.
Lovely, poems raw, simple use of language. I am a fan, I am very inspired by this work.
Happy to be of service *curtsies*
There was a word only informed science affiliated pple would use,so i’m guessing the writer has sumfin to do wif science? Overall,this was awesome, the use of words was impecable,this is one poet i admire.

The verses will anchor… They always do…
The noose won’t have you

Nice flowing words. U got talents…

Dark stuff,man…(or woman)….
I love the flow of words and more importantly, the feeling that gave them life.
Noose? No. Life? Yes. More life to pour more words out on beautiful canvas and make art.
Amazing.
