This is just one stanza and half a line of the entire poem and if you want to read more you'll have to wait until I've printed copies of the chapbook! Exciting! But anyway, my inspiration for this poem includes:
1. memories
2. the loss of a friend
3. childhood
Hope you like this little snippet!

I love it! :) I think the full poem is going to be absolutely wonderful. I think memories often conjure up feelings that can only be attempted to be shared with words... and even then, only a part of it can really be expressed that way.
ReplyDeleteRemind me how much your chapbook is again? Nevermind I'll go see for myself. If I didn't know better, that snippet (actually hard to read for me, sorry haha) could've come straight out of the lyrics of one of Red's songs. They're this Christian rock band with the most stunning lyrics ever (and that should be a fact, not just my opinion). Forgive me if I've said that to you before and am parroting myself for not having anything better to say! I do not have a way with words like you do, ahaha.
ReplyDeleteBut so you know, I worship Red.

I. Love. Your. Poem.
ReplyDeleteIt just resonates and haunt you while you read it and AFTER reading it. Great work! :)
It's such a beautiful snippet! :) Good luck with it <3
ReplyDeleteLOL, that was a typo in my blog post. Her endgame isn't 'just to get married' rather NOT to get married. I roll my eyes too at such heroines (yes, I'm looking at you Bella from Twilight).
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing it out :D
Can't wait for the full poem :)
