lucky.

 

 

rock in a storm

sunk with the cliche

butter drunk with compliments and doe eyes 

i gave you all my surpises like a rabbit in headlights.

 

i liked it

i liked falling

listening with twitchy ears

soft furred unfocussed mad march passed us and asked for a cup of tea

it was funny then

i loved to give up my thoughts

and our ideas

were like gelatine

brittle boned

and moulded just for the sake of it

 

Im not sorry.

I am sorrow.

Sorry to the marrow

Waking up thinking you d hand dug our burrow

lots of little tunnels made

out of soft mud

but the rain pounds and washes it to slick

lies and your cardboard facade is soggied.

eyes foggied.

insipid sick blue limp with drink

and you did stink like the rest of them

and every word you said was incomplete and chitter

 

i havent any better to say.

im sorry.

i give you my foot  for its not real either

and make a stew of everything you looked at

make a brew of any love that comes my way

mix it in darkness, spell bound a creature i am

not fit for the real world extinct nearly i can jump up into it

Second hand and im relieved i havent any limbs to stir it up

its trouble to cross a hare. they think i make it up

i give it to the moon

you should think you lucky

fool.

thanks very much everyone.

yes it does go on, im a lazy editor. i might sharpen it up a bit....there ive chopped a bit out. :)

its difficult to follow, i wanted it random like the movements of something crazy. the man inspired it was one thing and then another the writing just naturally jumped about.

im so glad everyone likes the sorrow line for that is indeed the best bit and worth writing the whole poem just to get to it :)

I always enjoy your muse Rach...your unique style.. incomplete chitter finished the first part for me, which had me hung on your words. :)

I would agree it may be a little hard to follow but I found it enjoyable all the same. I like the same lines as Isobel and Laura, especially
Im not sorry.
I am sorrow.
and
i gave you all my surprises like a rabbit in headlights
and
insipid sick blue limp with drink.

There's some really good lines in this Rach, although for me, I reckon you could split this up into 2 or even 3 separate poems.

The first 3 verses would work perfectly as one poem, I think.

Standout lines:

butter drunk with compliments and doe eyes
i gave you all my surpises like a rabbit in headlights.

i loved to give up my thoughts
and our ideas
were like gelatine
brittle boned
and moulded just for the sake of it

insipid sick blue limp with drink
and you did stink like the rest of them
and every word you said was incomplete and chitter

I also think you could split the last two pieces into 2 separate poems. Love this:

i give you my foot for its not real either
and make a stew of everything you looked at
make a brew of any love that comes my way
mix it in darkness, spell bound a creature i am

I found it hard to follow all of this and found it a bit on the long side. There are some lovely parts to it though.

Im not sorry.
I am sorrow.
Sorry to the marrow

Lovely lines. x
