Blurted Lines

[adorablebastard]

A\N Apparently, I have a poetic vein in my body -- still pulsing.




----

there's violence

in your heart

that shatters hope

in fragments,

kaleidoscopic

and mundane.

----

you break down

on a dislocated knee,

teemed with gargled noise

like a gargoyle with fish

behind its ears

and Harpies screeching

from old wounds.

----

scratch, exhale,

inhale, whimper,

noteworthy of your

attention,

a hagiography of nonsense

blessed by the morning's dew.

Oh, I love this. Both how you manage to describe something very sensoric, and the fragmented layout. Lovely, vivid imagery in the second part, too. You're good!

Thank you! :3

When I first wrote them, I intended them to be just one poem, but then I realized that the stanzas didn't quite link to one another, so I left them like this.

I have to admit that the first one reminds me of haiku, even though it's longer and it doesn't respect the 5-7-5 rule.

Besides, I found that it's a good way to learn new words in english like kaleidoscopic, teemed, gargled and hagiography. That was the main purpose of these stanzas.

I started my writing 'career' with poems in my native language. Now I'm more of a prose type of person, but once every blue moon my poetic vein resurfaces and I get these XD
