Whetstone
I wrote this up basically as a homework for English, the idea coming from the word ‘whet’ which the teacher gave us. I guess it was just experimenting with ideas and words that I had milling around in my head for some time.
For the first time ever i feel I’ve written something Redbubble worthy. Possibly.
Whetstone belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical and ExperimentalI sharpen my sword
On the whetstone of my old blunt life
To take a leap
Into uncharted worlds,
Of hope and chance,
Of truth, no more lies,
To tell you things;
To say words that were once
Left unsaid.

He gave us the word whey, actually…

Edit: Your poem is absolutely awesome nonetheless.

he said we can use ‘whet’ as well because it was nearby and I asked if I could- it was one of the ones where he told us other ones. So I sort of… developed it.

oh and thanks!

I’m loving the poem – it’s been a while since I have read some good poetry. I love the energy and positivity conveyed! Personally I couldn’t have done anything with “whey” – too dry a topic.
