POEM: Newness in Being

in poetry •  5 years ago  (edited)

Today is my birthday. Earlier, I took myself for a wander, and figured I’d write a few words to paint the moment into something tangible.

I’ve got a new WIP (work in progress) underway in the manuscript department, so I’m on a writer’s high as my characters reveal themselves to me and the plot drops bits and pieces into my brain at a time. That’s likely how I’ll spend the rest of my birthday. ;)

Hope you enjoyed the poem. Thanks for reading!

Whatever happens, keep singing your song!

Peace. @katrina-ariel

Happy Birthday! It's a really cool deal that I got the gift of your poem for your day. Thank you.

A love affair with my muse. That line sorta makes me jealous. If I could catch my elusive little asshat I thump his ass and feed the pieces to Sam. He'll come back, he always does. Just not now.

Wishing you a great day and a years worth of happy unbirthdays to go with it.

If I could catch my elusive little asshat I thump his ass and feed the pieces to Sam.

And you wonder why he's avoiding you.

😂

Ha! You're hilarious. I think your muse is with you, just hiding. ;)

A very merry unbirthday to you. Thank you for the lovely comment.

Happy birthday dear @katrina-ariel. I wish you all the best and a wonderful sunny day! :-)

Also, thank you. :)

Old thoughts circle:
Twin vines named
Lonely and Longing.
I cut through them

I love this! Great metaphor. Bloody circling thoughts! Lonely and longing - I hope you aren't? xx

Ah, only always. Okay, maybe not always. ;) It was a lovely walk, though. 💖

Oh I do recall that feeling. I'm either numb or content these days. Maybe both. It'll change and pass. Xx

Happy Birthday! Lovely poem showing your free-flowing nature. This was my favorite stanza:

Old thoughts circle:
Twin vines named
Lonely and Longing.
I cut through them.
