hey y'all

i ran off a while ago and found a little quite place on the internet to do poetry... just poetry... no interpersonal stuff... it was really nice... nice and quiet...

but, some loonies have invaded the place and now i'm getting all freaked out again... I'm so utterly sensitive to this shit, it's not even funny. i don't even watch TV, and well, Soap Operas are no longer my thannnnng


anywho...

here's a poem about it... hope someone gets something out of it...

let me know where it needs help, okay? thanks Rachel






Much to my dismay the poppies cock their heads about
Looking for the fray, the loose string hanging
from this garden coat I wear.

The flowers grow seed-beaks and snip
At padding for their underground
That, from which they, chirping, spray
"We think that we are love, today!"
Nevermind the morphine smile
The Lithium splashed to the tile

Knowing, as this coat I've made
From stolen throes and weeping sheep
Sheared, forever naked now with bow and grace
Pushes a sublime peace, able

A tangent's blade
To hand from sleeve
The poppies' heads are sickled, shrieking
Rounding to the death-kiss ground

    Rachel, darlin', I think your poetry has really evolved and become very beautiful! Not that anything previous was not, it's just that there is a somewhat peaceful air to it now. I've always dug and continue to dig! :D

    Definately later, you!!! :)

    seven, you are far too sweet, and welcome to call anytime... not sure i'd have a song, but i'd look for one, for sure :)

    i've been writing, but not much lately
    life's evened out a lot, so i'm mostly stuck with birds... or birds and bees...
    my primary sources of wonder these days ;)

    anyway, yeah... call me any ole time :)

    and hiya hiya Coleen! :D bet yer freezin' yer tush over there, huh?
  • I agree how this poetry seems somewhat more serene, as if you whispered it into my monitor...

    Isn't it funny how the same things always drive you away, but the same things always draw you back...I'll see you in two months

    it is an excellent poem..

    welcome back sweetheart..

    Jess
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    PastaNazi,
    Wonderful poem. I love how your voice radiates with the words. I don't respond much to the board (Work and Family keep me busy), but the board needs your words...
