The Tell
[At first I wrote this as a longer, elaborate, wordier poem. But as I read it, I realised I only wanted its essence. The rest was fluff.] What is this, a game of poker? We're in a place where no one knows her And you're hiding your cards from me You don’t tell me and […]

[Day 20. I read PostSecret tonight having made the decision that one of the secrets there would inspire today's poem. Sure enough, it did.] He chose me, you know Didn’t want to let go Told me I’m the one, said he’d come undone if I’d ever leave, his sorry ass would grieve, cry, beg me […]

[Day 15. Halfway point. Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is to write a pantun. Although that encouraged me to pick the abab rhyming style, this didn't quite turn out to be a pantun. Oops.] Some people, they write for pleasure While some write for more than fun With depths you cannot measure, Of whispers that weigh a […]

Hide hid hidden
April 12, 2013
[For Day 12 of NaPoWriMo. This isn't a particularly pleasant one (to say the least), touching on a sensitive topic. One of the tags is Lolita because their ages were the same. Similarity also lies in the crime. And stuff related to the perpetrator.] A volcano, within, rages When her mind fills with images Of […]
