Had A Bad Day Again...

[meliafairy]

I did some writing on Thursday while holed up in my room. I was having a very bad day after leaving my surgery pre-op appt. and just kinda need to be alone and this was the outcome. I used my writing mood to experiment with various poetry styles. Poetry is kinda my thing so hopefully these aren't too bad... (Btw - I pretty much never name my work since my titles always suck but I made sure to tell what type of poetry I was writing)

(Lanturne – 1,2,3,4,1)

Pain
Inside
Threatening
To Smother Me
Fully.

(Tanka – 5,7,5,7,7)

Staring at the cold
And grey sky knowing that I’m
Lost within my thoughts.
Alone with the pain again,
Just me and my weary head.


(Tyburn)

Trying
Crying
Lying
Spying
Wanting to stop Trying, ever Crying
Can’t stop Lying, they are ever Spying

(Concrete Poetry)

Here I sit
f

slowly into the black that consumes
knowing that I must be BOLD if I’m to be the one
who controls my soul.

(Etheree – 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

Toxic
are the
thoughts of this
disease that is
devouring the light.
Positive thinking has
flown and I think my cover
is blown. Reality slaps me
in the face, exposing all the lies,
razing the dark in which I’ve been hiding.

These are good. My favorite is the last one.

I'm not sure about these lines tough;

"in the face, exposing all the lies,
razing the dark in which I’ve been hiding."

I guess I don't get that part. Of course, peotry isn't always suppose to be understood by all.

These are beautiful Leia. Beautifully dark! *gives great big hugs*

I love reading your courage in the concrete poem and your usage of font manipulation to make your point. The Tyburn poem is really fascinating too - your inner and outer self, the voices in between. The masks we all wear sometimes.
