! Creative Writing & Poetry ! and Creative, Talented, and Unknown

nothing there; from molded ball r o o ms
or busted taillights      or sweat soaked curls

nothing could encapsulate what once was our animating force

i forgot my mothers’ home,   
at 17
  Memories
of walking my stepfather’s staircase 
were gone,

filed into  :   Information Unnecessary
along with hypotheses and hyperboles and everything else not learned in the sun

                                You were my sun.
               play any way
              on words and I will feel
           the same.
                                You were my sun.

in the bed beneath the great oak tree (which they’ve cut down)
You left your horizon to lay with me
in manmade blankets on manmade pillows
bubbled over and reeking our manmade emotions.
nylon & crab grass & 10% cotton
stuck to my newest skin
and i set with the sun
Set&Settled
the guilt of the betrayed
necromantic nuances
shot to hell by nearsightedness
settled
in the ridges of the Appalachians

six months later
i beat you to death.

    I really like your imagery. This was one of the few times I’ve been so immersed in a poem.

    A very great attention grabbing title. good job. your title makes my single word titles look like nothing. also, a vrey emotional poem depending what background you happen to be reding it from.

    Incredible writing. I’ve read it a few times and each reading brings something else. I bet if I read it while in a different head I’d find even more.

  • Chlobot replied

    it’s nice to know that people still read poems more than once. it really is necessary, to catch all of the subtleties. thank you for the compliment :)

    Bloody fantastic and unique!

  • Chlobot replied

    thank you. When I was 6 I carved a flat bottom boat & named it the Selkie. It’s still around somewhere…lurking in my mothers house.

    finally something written by a writer
    i have read and read the pieces deposited here and
    found the majority wishing they were left as individual letters
    rather than having been clumsily pressed together
    by the painfully unskilled patrons of this site
    to list your obvious literary influences seems overtly pretentious
    and so i will refrain from throwing names at you
    you know how talented you are
    if you write a dozen pieces like this in your life
    then you may freely consider your breaths worthwhile

    Excellent, you painted a picture of love and serenity so well. A dreamy web of words, then an ending that wakes you up.

    This was an excellent read. I’m not particularily fond of the format, but it didn’t detour from your wonderful curve of thought either.

    Much enjoyed :)

    Not going to lie, the title is what dragged me in. I’m pretty happy with that, though, this was a fantastic piece.
