Found another old poem I’d forgotten about. It needs a lot of work, but I’m posting it so it doesn’t get lost again. I wanted to be a stop watch when I was fed up, so I could press myself and stop time. I too, would be in control, and we wouldn’t be forced intoContinue reading “Tick On”

Old fairy tale poem found
I just discovered an old poem I wrote years ago, looking at the step-mother in Snow White. I really like parts of it, while others are very awkward and clunky. I’m posting it here so I don’t lose it again, because I want to re-work it at some point. Ripped up clothes, whipping lies, allContinue reading “Old fairy tale poem found”

Poetry and Fairy Tales
In preparation for my master’s course I’m researching two possible poetry collection ideas, and this one I’ve already started. While doing my BA Hons course I researched fairy tales in my spare time, and wrote a few fairy tale poems with unusual twists (these I’ve already posted on the blog). I want to continue withContinue reading “Poetry and Fairy Tales”

20:73 Writing used to be easier, time more eager to be found, a pen more easy to flow across paper. Restrictions of interactions, limited people to care for, a constant, lonely ache desperate to ignore, with creations of worlds and words to delve into. I found you, and finally experienced love besides family love. YouContinue reading “poem ideas”
