I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
By the false azure in the windowpane


Goal = 10
Read 5 and log for every 1 written

Hey Starve! Not too late to start to get 10 poems! :D Great quote for an opener - one week of April to go~
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

Windbroken

concrete behemoths around me
frozen in an eternal winter
break apart
the sighs of the sea
summer is miles and miles away
yet all I have for wind are sighs.

sterile air-conditioning's slow cold,
constricting like a python around
my half-dreams
harkens them back to where the winds
had the power to break a man
dry knives under a moonless sky
stab me in the eyes,
their watering makes unseen stars twinkle.
the tears are not entirely in pain
mountain lakes are beautiful
(ends to fitful dreams.)



Spoiler! :
only managed one, but NaPo actually helped me start back and I do have a few ideas now. I will keep posting in this thread till I get 10.Months are a construct anyways haha
  








You are going to love some of your characters because they are you, or some facet of you, and you are going to hate some characters for the same reason.
