R my heartstrings connected?

a delicate wisp decided to die

oh no...
not frail...
just sleepy from all things accomplished

and so it did just that...

it died and laid down on a fuzzy nest of god-cloud
and its soul wept with hope
and lived again, reborn in hope

and as it lived it floated down through the god-cloud
back down to where real things eat real things
and it's soul knew the dread of grief

its soul knew it wanted to fly
and so it prayed for days on end for wings
and it prayed for months on end
and wept
as it slept
where real things eat real things

its object tired of its pleas
or perhaps just became available
and God spun the stone
and honed the barbs
for wings never stick unless securely fastened

its object called it to come
and it came passionately
and was held turned away
by the head
by the hand of God Himself

and God did ram deep dolly screwed spikes
with Heavenly honed expanding barbs
into each of its delicate blades

no...
not frail...
just sleepy for all its accomplishment

and its enemies giggled at the sight of blood

and several moments later

it flew

    I really really like this one. I can't put my finger on why... it's just because of the story you tell and the descriptions you make. They're not concrete. They let my mind wander a bit. Not everything is spelled out.

    Where real things eat real things...

    Definitely my favorite part. Rock out.

    Woah, girl. This was, dare I say, a grand poetic sequel to Given to Fly. And yet, it stands (er, flies) wonderously on its own.

    together we shall don the cape of beschmirchment
    fly through the night
    and leave words for poets
    who's baby words have wiggled from their brains



    errr uhhhh gums...


    yeah gums...


    that's it



    we could start a whole new doll line

    the beschmirchables


    they'd be like cabbage patch kids...

    for grown ups...






    :D

    Quite a room full of people there lol:)!
    Yes thanks for all those!
    I used to write conflicting reviews of my local pub on my city's main entertainment website. One "reviewer" called "Once-only Interloper" would say a pub was so bad you'd have to change the barrels yourself if you wanted a pint, and another "reviewer" called "Lord Swiller" would say "No, no, my boy, it's a great place!" Everyone knew it was me, of course (because my name would be at the bottom of the page if they looked!), but it was great fun nonetheless.
