I feel like I’m in a new era with my poetry like Ive been writing a lot over the past week and it feels so different from my past works—in tone, in technique, in figurative language, in word choice, etc…I’m genuinely proud of what I’ve been writing and I’m so happy and excited :3 unfortunately can’t share it rn tho….

#oh the pains of trying to get published

the one thing i want to be able to do as a writer is make people come back to something ive written. i want that piece of text to haunt them, i want their thoughts to be briefly consumed by this. i want this to be something they remember long after its time. thats the one thing i want to do

Withering Spring

transcript under the cut.

[transcript:

On the playground in the spring / picking honeysuckles off a bush and / hesitantly placing the stem on my / tongue, my insistent classmates promising / they are edible / I close my eyes and tentatively / suck on the stem / the nectar never reaching / my tongue but still I try / to believe

Now the playground is gone / my classmates unrecognizable / spring has returned once again and / my head floods / with the memories / of laughing in the shade with old friends / so I pluck a honeysuckle off a / bush and place the stem on my tongue / remembering the ritual I once partook in and / feeling the heat of disappointment / on my face when I find / the nectar is not sweet on my tongue / but sour with the rot / of my ever-decaying / childhood.

#for a creative writing assignment. rejected from mags and im not passionate enough abt her to save for a manuscript #another girl I went to elementary school w was murdered so this just feels relevant for me rn idk #poetry #poem #poemblr #poets on tumblr #on childhood #spilled ink #spilled words

Transcript under the cut.

[Transcript: "Let's get away from this place, / from these self-serving people and the / suffocating smog of animosity.

Take me somewhere warm, where we can lazily soak up the sunshine / where I can hold you close.

Aren't you sick of this place? / even the butcher with the missing / ring finger says, run, girl, and don't you look back.

Won't you grab my hand? / pack up your things, we'll be gone / before the sun leaves us / in the hands of the moon.

Laugh in my face / yours twisted in disgust, baring your teeth at me / so I'll leave this desolate place on my own, / smile knowingly when the butcher / says, you know, there's a reason it's my ring finger that's missin'.

and my lover eludes me once more." [/end]
