Poems 07/26/2011
Lucian Freud, Margeret Olley and Amy Winehouse all passed away. All in their own way BRILLIANT. I cannot say much else, really. I don't know if I am equipped to- but I'll no doubt one day give it a go. So instead I am going to post what I had in mind last week- some poems. Tension Tension is about the teeth about discipline and sleep I have 22 fillings Counting. Loneliness is about the distance between shallow distractions. I have 10 fans Counting. Obsession is about the mouse clicking spangled jewels into patterns. I have 96 000 points Counting. Avoidance is about the bed clenching time within sheets. I have three hours Counting. Passion is about the substitutes foot massages and a glass of water We have ten years Counting. Patience is about the belly involuntarily moving. I am 36 weeks Counting.

Love it Amelia - I write too - compiling at the moment all those notepads and pages! It's inspiring to see you put it out there. :-) Tess 07/29/2011 18:36
Incredible. Gobsmackered at this one. A short sharp shot to the guts...leaving me winded for lack of words to explain just how many sensations you've just evoked. Friggin maverick! Vincent 07/31/2011 02:55
Takes a lot to share something so personal, thanks for compiling such a succinct, powerful & evocative poem... might have to keep this one for future reference... Amelia 08/02/2011 02:49
Thank you every one. Whilst I write from an autobiographical point of view the act of creativity for me rests entirely on the shift to sharing. I am glad that it strikes a cord with others, motivates to create and expresses the shared experiance of humanity. Again Thank you every one- your feedback is also very motivating. Leave a Reply |
