W.I.P. - First Week

It comes as no surprise that last week's post was short. Abrupt, and not entirely about a movie or book (I think it was Book Nook week).

I did it at the last minute while working some crazy shifts at my new job while trying to make meals and take care of car insurance.

For this week, I'll try and take a little time to post some little blurbs that have been going through my mind. Working a fast-paced job can sometimes bring inspiration from the most mundane of things.

Mind Reeling

Can't escape the feeling

I'm losing time

To figure out life

Someone stop the world

For a moment of time

To catch my breath

I've lost my mind

Escaping to the world

Taking my brain

Off the Planet

To the Outer Rim

Is there anything that you're working on this week?

Leave a comment with your favorite fiction author and I'll do a drawing at the end of the month for a free giveaway.

W.I.P. May-Day

(Forgive the late post, I've been sick since last Friday and haven't been doing much of anything except watching "Miss Fisher's Murders", "Midsomer Murder", "Death In Paradise", and "Haven".)

Here is a little ditty - or what have you - that you may find interesting. As always, leave a comment below with what it is you're working on, or just to say hello. :D

Daylight

has no place for

my shadows.

And my love that

is fading,

like the winter,

away.

Like the morning

I yearn to turn

my face to the day.

But I’m waiting

for the dark.

Have a fantastic week!

WIP: Ideas

Back in school and I've had some amazing ideas for stories.

The trick will be writing them all down before they leave my mind, but I finally feel as though some sort of progress in those regards is coming to fruition.

It's been great so far this year. I've already written two poems (and learned that the first time apparently isn't the one you should publish, as they need to be re-written over and over and over (and often over and over and over) again).


I will post the first two I wrote here below, the first drafts, that is.

Tell me what you think. Leave a comment and let me know your critique.




[EDIT: I will post them tomorrow. Gotta get some sleep!]


"When Life Was Good"
Tell me something I don't know
A story of when life was good.
Back when the evenings were full
of laughter. Of smiles.
A time when love never thought of dying.
Of saying hurtful untruths.
Words to demean.
Words.
Life used to be filled with kind words.
A morning of frenzied eating, lunch packing,
running for the door. The bus.
Home once more to loving hands
To a full house of those who protect.

Tell me of a story once shared,
When life was good.



"Autumn"
Nighttime comes, I dream
the world is how I imagined.
Bright-lit streets, small, comfortable
house. Easy, soft, living.
Books fill the air,
the scent of parchment and ink prolific.
Mixed fragrances of honey, pumpkin,
cinnamon; spice.
Old burned furniture.
Scarred wooden panels.
Blaze of light; cackling away.
Chocolate: hot, steamy, white clouds
floating on the surface of foam.
Complete. Relaxed.
Home.
