fog

_20141130_001157

                                            memories of ascending a shattered staircase
                                      wanting and hoping and wondering
                            remembering how, in the clouds and through the fog, he first saw her face
                        would it ever be the same, after all the wandering?

(a poem about fog in the form of an elegy with a metaphorical angle for day four of Writing 201)

milk and alcohol

“i decided eventually
this ain’t doing a thing for me”

milk and alcohol, dr feelgood

don't mix it
don’t mix it

The boy wanted to wander with wonder along the way
Oh boy did he choose the wrong day
They advised him to avoid alcohol
Didn’t mention the doll
So later he longed for a lay

(a journey in the form of an alliterative limerick for day two of Writing 201)

is it, a

place of

safety

or, would

you rather

float?

(during the next two weeks i will be inflicting poems on you as i have signed up for the wordpress writing 201 course, i apologise in advance)

symmetry

“if you ever see a symmetrical human face, you will have the impression that you ought to think it beautiful, but that in fact you find it cold
the human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry”

― louis de bernières, captain corelli’s mandolin

the silence (of)

“…clarice

will you let me know if ever the lambs stop screaming?”

― thomas harris, the silence of the lambs

spiky lamb
spiky lamb

…the phone trilled

holding it to her ear

as she looked into the woods

she heard

the

silent “béé”

of, the

lamb

(this is my response to justine’s latest story and photography prompt in her eclectic corner)
