poem

I have nothing interesting to say except that My room is civilised and has three doors. For easy leaving.

and it felt like time for a poem.

in the ordered rows with the
insistant pulsing in its ears,
a puppet dances to
the music in its heart.

or two

He's somewhat, irreverent with fate
and lacks grace. Poise is
important, if one wishes to
die well. you know?

or three


it seems that everything is connected.
I felt it dreaming; in the end, reflections
in my window remind me of myself,
surprise dulled by repetition.

there. now.. analyse!

I love the first one.. with the puppets. it seems very sad. Mind.. i was there when you wrote it. and you said that whatever i thought it was trying to say was only half right, and i can't even remember what i said now..

anyhu.
The third one i haven't seen before. It reminded me instantly of that diagrammy thing of people we made.. i love the second and third stanzas [oooo.. fancy poet-y language...]
It looks like you've been thinking. too much. again. That's what that poem tells me. -hugs-

Well, it is very sad; but on the other hand, I wasn't sure whether it was happiness in slavery, or secret freedom. does that make sense?

and, I'm glad you like it, new-person-i-don't-know-yet :) thanks :)

my room has three doors. your room has one door, and a cupboard. there is a difference.

but, ah well. to japan we go?

haha...don't worry, you'll get to know me :D

i have only one door, but two cupboards. tidy cupboards. =P

its intruiging how you wrote 3 very different feelings within the same period of time...they're kinda uncomparable because of that. strangely though, they flow together nicely in an odd haphazard kind of way.
i like the rebelious puppet. but i also like the last poem. strangley though, im always surprised when i look in the mirror. i dont think i quite know what i look like!
anyhu, big ups to you, and a happy new year :) *hugs*

Ok.. so there's a difference.
But my windows are nice. So leave them alone.

Mm.. Japan sounds nice.. do they have showers in Japan?

Peter Owen said...

I'm glad :) I like getting to know people. How many people can you fit in your cupboards?

it is slightly odd. But these are the best of the ten or so poems i wrote at the time. so, it's not so unusual.
happy new year! -hugs-
although I might see you before then, so it's a little unnessesary :)

they have showers in japan. And large baths. and
i'm not going to mention the rest, because..
kelda is too young to hear them :)

can't do that on blogger.. it used to be so much nicer.

My old blog had a chat thingy that i put in. It was awesome. Then along came these people saying 'your' not allowed to do that!' and they blocked it.

It was very sad.

-stab- for pet.[fingers...]
