Companionship

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

My husband spends half of each week in London which we both find hard so when the subject of companionship came up as a WoPoWriMo challenge I could think of nothing other than how much I was missing him. He used to spend the whole week in London though which was worse – funnily enough […]

Inspiring Weather

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Inspiring weather was the theme for this poem – yes it’s one of my wopowrimo poems! A rain of thoughts Pummelled the road of creation A torrent of the new Wash away the soil of convention Where the trees of knowledge Had been grubbed up And the animals of reason Exterminated the bare stones of […]

Fairy Tale

Monday, February 15th, 2010

One of the exercises for WoPoWriMo was to write a poem from the concept of a fairy tale – here is mine – see if you can guess which fairy tale it is 😉 Bread crumbs stretched for miles Children follow them in hope Crushing blow Of avian beak Tears of innocence Tears of fear […]

Clothed

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Another of my Poem a Day for February poems 🙂 Clothed in the night Clothed in the day Clothed in the twilight The angles sway Singing songs of creation Wrought of the wrong kind of mediicine Clothed in the disease Clothed in the pathos Clothes in the famine the deamin chaos Chanting the dirge of […]

Balance

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

This is the last poem from the first testing out of the writing game! So today’s WoPoWriMo poem is: Feet covered in beads of bone and tooth Spear of the sky and the pushing down of earth Balanced the hunter between Balanced with the seasons and the hunger Hands callosed and thick of knuckle Berry […]

Scandal Vanished

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I’m afraid with have still more coming from the game at the meet up! So today’s WoPoWriMo poem is: Scandal Vanished with my life As did the debts The whinning morons And the bad parkers of the world In fact the whole world vanished Leaving serene milky blackness I stretched back in the warm fuzz […]

Cataracts

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

This poem is again from the WoPoWriMo meet-up and is one I sort of like – again this is a raw poem so feed back is appreciated and no doubt needed 🙂 The sounding cataract Loomed bright In milky light Dragging the soul down Until the memory That was the song Entered the lips And […]

Small Showers

Monday, February 8th, 2010

I was quiet prolific during the writing game at the WoPoWriMo meet up so here is another raw poem from it! Small showers last long Smoothing the Earth In dust releasing patter Moving on always To new ground A small shower here Another there But they are the same The same shower over the plan […]

Spirits of Trees

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

This is another of the poems from the writing game – obviously these are raw poems so feed back would be lovely. Leaping greenly spirits of trees Jumping high for the joy of air Who kisses their cheeks Smooth in waxy cuticle Into the trees they pounce Making nests for birds Dropping boughs on the […]

Neptune is Bound

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

As part of WoPoWriMo I have been designing a writing game and took it along to a meet-up in Cheltenham. This is one of the poems I produced from it – it is not something I would have thought to write about otherwise: Neptune is bound in with shame In a water cave so dank […]
