"Scattered leaved with poetic imprints." My new collection of poetry. |
P.(tree)Log ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Well, it's now mid- 2019 and this is still the only book I use to house part of my new poetry. I began using it years ago due to a lack of storage space in my over-700 item WDC portfolio. I really need to do some spring, summer, fall and winter cleaning. There are still lots of static items which have never received any mention by other members here. But that's part of the problem of being a writer ( musician, artist, actor ... ). I do not know how to network. Thanks for discovering this link. Please leave a comment. Bookmark it, please.... This is a writing site and not FarceBrook where it's so easy just to press the button "LIKE." (( And I am not a fan of the fact that WDC has added it. )) |

They left solid stripes on my back, lower, private places. No one touches me there – to speak truth is another whip. Trees bleed sap when gusts veer beyond violent. They grow new branches from stumps. I still have nine fingers. From my darkness, I conjured only one storm. My mind was the eye of it. As her car filled with water, she screamed. I made her hear only my voice. Nightmare [2018.29.10...a] Author's note. Although I was a battered child, I never thought about revenge. I don't have that kind of conscious mind. But last night, deliberately trying to come up with very dark prose, this is what my muse came up with. Rest assured, I have ten fingers. |
