The Doctor Falling In Love With The Board ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8786 ![]() ![]() | The ageless wanderer, still. No stillness in the leaves that go crunch underfoot. The soft whine of the telephone echoes through the messy land. She is awake. Already? What a strange woman. Nowhere to go for hours yet. A weary Sun rises in the East, she winces. Dawn is far too bright for her, with that old migraine biting at her neck. She doesn't wish to speak with the Sun today. The Sun is her mother. Her blood warms with the starshine but her breath can still be seen, Obscene, utterly obscene. How riduculous, so many things: The Resurrection; The Virgin; The Judas; The Angels. She can still taste Heaven and still smell the smog of Hell. She is stuck in some no place. Her mouldy eyes scan the rosebush, all flowers stolen, leaving thorns. A crown. her crowning glory. Jack broke his crown and Jesus wore his with red mascara. Teardrops are nothing today. Memorising the lines of his iris. What a one-way street, her devotion to a man that doesn't kinow her name. Cowerdice, throw the dice. Gamble, trample, fall. The winner takes it all, Abstract numbers and more. Humanistic approach, tripled. What a fiasco, crossing the hypotenus with the hypothesis. The Id in 'Little Gidding' has gone and flew away. Eliot and Plath, forever dancing in the melancholy moonlight. Fragile little creatures. So here it comes - the sound of drums, thundering to war. The mud chruns the earth soggy to the core as the sky grows dense and metallic with planes and bombs. Raise the dead, too many to count. The Belsen Tango doesn't take off. Perhaps in thr Rhubarb Triangle it will, maybe. Triangles, again? The sine of Theta is Koshei and the tangents of Sec: useless drivel. Stick of artichoke in the teeth. She dances with the alien music in her ears. A woman called Miss Jones. How desperately sad, spitting caustic soda onto the tarmac. It hits with a stubborn the hiss. Life is very long for hert. Seventeen years feels eternal under the wrong skin. Burn her at the stake, that little hinny. Dangerous lady, screaming "Allons-Y" to emptiness. Can she see angels or demons? Is she pulling familiars from Photoshopped Supernovas? "You should have raised another child," her lips say to the wind, a false line. Hopelessness becomes her savior in place of that old Doctor, who never comes. |

What's in a name? King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2451 ![]() | Hey, you. It’s been a while, eh? Anyway, about the poem, it’s amazing writing. It’s an artwork of words. I just wish that I could understand it better ![]() “The ageless wanderer, still. No stillness in the leaves that go…” Personally I think that you should do something about that. It’s not a repetition of a word but it’s close. to a man that doesn't kinow her name. I believe you meant ”know”. Perhaps in thr Rhubarb Triangle it will, maybe. Did you min “their”, or something like that? Also you repeat “Triangle” in the next stanza. Perhaps you have a good reason to, but in that case I don’t get it and it just struck me as repetitive. =P Life is very long for hert. Is it supposed to be ”her”? Some typos is really all that’s “wrong” with this poem as far as the writing itself is concerned. As for the message and things like that I really don’t know because I’m just not smart enough to “decode” it properly ![]() ”So here it comes - the sound of drums, thundering to war. The mud chruns the earth soggy to the core as the sky grows dense and metallic…” ”Photoshopped Supernovas” ”"You should have raised another child," her lips say to the wind, a false line.” Totally aweome ![]() |
Peter Petrelli King For A Couple Of Days ![]() Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 4161 | I was going to go back and find the typos, repetitions in it, but it looks like there's no need. ![]() 'Jack broke his crown and Jesus wore his with red mascara.' ^I just loved those lines especially, I thought they had a certain dark humour about them. With your scientific language, it really emphasises the religious references, since traditionally they should be two topics which are inherently different to each other, but here it just worked, like you couldn't have one without the other. |

Honey Emerald: It may be confusing for the common reader, but it's absolutely satisfying for a real poetry lover. |
