Wraith
like some ancient, lost ethereal thing
on and on I stumble
down springs, autumns, winters, summers,
into the slows and sloughs of remembered other days
where I sift through piles of sighs
green with lichen and moss,
harvest memories of a kiss,
a smile, a touch, an eyeflash
there are no flowers…
just memories, like raptors, gather
another dawn breaks
and I wake
crying in colours and mad, mad sparks,
trying to suck the screams back into my heart
as the sun
my beautiful sun
slides from the throat
of the beast

/ March 17, 2012I like it Dotty. If shitey was your goal, you really didn’t succeed. Have you considered publishing?

/ March 17, 2012Dear Anette,
Once upon a time Dotty skipped through the wordy streets of Printy Abaddon to hawk her shitey wares to Daemons and Fiends who scraped and bowed at her feet. Then she caught HERMITITIS and PEOPLE PHOBIA and WORDY BLOCK and she didn’t write for years and years and years and then she found Blogland and the wordy shite began to flow again. And she is happy to live in Blogland where the wordy shite flows and flows every day.

WORDY BLOCK… that’s one down Dotty. Blogland is good medicin.
Would you mind making another shitey poemy? Please ♥

/ March 18, 2012Dear Anette,
It IS good medicine, very good. Not as good as laudanum and quinine, but good.
I did some other shitey poems, 3 I think, that are in the big list of shitey stuff but I have to wait for new ones to go POP and splat onto the page.

/ March 17, 2012In all seriousness, my dear friend Dotty, submit that somewhere. That is one of THE BEST poems I have ever read. No bullshit, no jokes. If you don’t publish it, please tell your writer friend to do so. Really. With love, Judith

Thank you very much indeed. My writer friend is just happy to be writing again with no pressures so no submissions for now. But thank you.

Be sure to listen to her if she changes her mind! I’m signing off, for the evening, I think — have a lovely rest of the weekend, and I’ll be seeing you tomorrow, for sure!
Love,

I NEVER listen to her, she’s fucking mental.
Have a good evening and a nice sleep tonight.

If there’s one thing I’m glad about joining the WordPress blogosphere, it’s to have landed on your blog, when I did.

Mucho mutuali reciprocali (that’s Italian).
You landed on my collection of hamster skins so at least you didn’t break anything (of mine).

This is absolutely not shite for poetry. I love it. Like liquid anguish… and lament.
I love it completely.
