Symbnomatopoeia

                                                           Symbnomatopoeia

 

Ever y Ni(gh)t I AM in some way
A-live with
Multiple
mInds, some seeded, some
there                   there                               there
iS me and me and me
And them
And you                       you                                  you
Amid your Crystal
Craft you
Let me pėėk
}eavesdrop{
F e E e E e E e L
Sense by the crook
Of a glass heart
The surety
Of a grain   .   of sand
That is my brain.

                                                   I wake to find my life is slimę
                                  Limbs lightyears gone    gon e    gon  e  e   gon   e        e

                                                                        gon

                                              and there is only d  i  s  t  a  n  c  e
                                              emptiness packedwitheverything
                                                       and Silence says, “             “
                                                                 as I crawl
                                                          to a mirrorrorrim
                                                     I am sideways looking
                                                                  bæck
                                      I am not any of the ones I know anymore

The intonation in this is brilliant and I can’t wait to hear it vocalised ?

Lol I know what you mean, but lately I've been finding the restrictions entertaining actually, getting around them is part of the process now. I'm just really enjoying experimenting again, I think every writer should step out of their usual m.o. at least once ☺

great use of white space and formatting. i especially like;

Of a glass heart
The surety
Of a grain . of sand
That is my brain.

clever stuff, reminds me of cummings.

i know that is formatted wrong but it wont let me make indents on comments :(

I'm obviously a complete Philistine because I just don't get it. However, I read it three times so you've achieved more than many others Kealan.

There is a great creative streak in you, Kealan--I hope it finds some nurturing here on WoL.
