WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

Her writing ...

 

Her writing is amazing,

accomplished, wonderful, 

superb. It always was.

But I don’t fall in love 

with any of her characters,

as I once did with the wild,

fantastical girl who lived

in those old, unpublished, 

magical tales of herself.






For Friday Writings #102 at Poets and Storytellers United, the prompt is to ignore the old advice to 'beware of adjectives' and instead go over-the-top with them and still produce something that's a joy to read. I chose to use even quite hackneyed ones in this piece and dare to hope it still works!
