SNOW WHITE, A POEM, WITH BEE’S POETRY PROMPT!

HERE I AM UP AT 1 AM NOT ABLE TO SLEEP. SO I THOUGHT I’D WRITE. I THOUGHT I’D PARTICIPATE IN BEE’S BLOG PORMPT WHICH SHE POSTED A FEW DAYS AGO NOW. SO BELOW FIND MY POEM, MY SCRIBBLES, WITH THE PROMPT WORDS, SNOW WHITE!

IN A SNOW WHITE DRESS
SHE STANDS
BAREFOOT AND FEAR GRIPPING HER
TWISTING AND TURNING INSIDE OF HER
THE FEAR MULTIPLIES AS THE MEN ENTER
THEY WALK TOWARDS HER
PULL OFF HER SNOW WHITE DRESS
START TO TOUCH HER
IN WAYS SHE HATES
HURTING HER…
ABUSING HER…
CAUSING MORE FEAR TO GRIP HER HEART
HER DRESS LIES ON THE FLOOR
TORN AND TATTERED
BROKEN AND BRUISED
SHE TRIES TO FREE HERSELF
BUT ALAS SHE CANT
SO INSTEAD…
SHE DISSOCIATES
FLIES AWAY UP UP AND AWAY
ABOVE HER BODY SHE HOVERS
AND WAITS
WAITS FOR THIS TO JUST BE OVER

WILLOW

Stormy! A poetry prompt!

A STORM IS BREWING
INSIDE OF ME
I FEEL STORMY!
EMOTIONS BUBBLE
TO THE SURFACE
RAPIDLY OVERTAKING ME
RAGE BUBBLES
ANGER SEAPS THROUGH
THERE’S A STORM
ITS BREWING
ME, I FEEL
LIKE A PRESSURE COOKER!
READY TO EXPLODE AT ANY SECOND
A STORM…
YES A STORM…
ITS BREWING!
SOMEONE SAVE ME
SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
AND THESE INTENSE FEELINGS
THAT THREATNEN
TO SEND ME SPIRALING!
SPIRALING INTO THE ABYSS

Bee’s Poem of the Day ~

Hello everybody, I hope you are having a wonderful day. Was walking our rescue greyhound Sherky this morning and we saw the moon in a gorgeous sky and some deer over the road. I am always awed when these graceful creatures honour me with their presence. This walk inspired me to try out a haiku and I would like to share it with Carol Anne and you:

Waning moon above

she feels freezing hands and nose

deer running along

May you have a wonderful day! x Bee x

Carol Anne’s Poetry Challenge for The Bee (14.11.18)

Thank’s Carol Anne for this weeks poetry challenge: Shimmering Glass

I am in a funny mood at the moment. It’s not really bad or going into depression even though I was close at the weekend but it sort of borders along it. So this prompt is like a shining beacon in my own weirdness if that makes sense.

Still, I could not really come up with something so I thought I am using my go-to page when I want to create poetry but can’t really get going: Language is a virus! The games and gadgets on that page are just brilliant to get your muse back into gear 😉

We had used its cut-up-machine a couple of days ago over at #frapalymo but I went for the haiku Madlib today: You are offered a row of boxes to add an adjective and a noun (three of each) and then your name. And it creates a haiku for you in the style of Basho. (sorry dear master for this indiscretion 😉 )

And this is mine for today:

In the Majorelle sky
these calm beach
A shimmering Glass

by Basho & The Bee (admit I properly cheated LOL )

Hope you enjoyed this and feel free to take part and write your own poem to “shimmering glass”. Also, please do not miss Carol Anne’s poem to my prompt “Sand between my toes” here.

Old poetry

gripped by fear
she falls apart
tries to self soothe
nothing works
the flashbacks overcome her
vomiting for a whole hour
till her stomach is empty of everything
screaming silently
as a nurse holds her shaking body
is this how it is going to be forever?

staring blankly ahead
numb, disengaged
numb to everything
everyone around her going on with life
as she sits and tries to breathe
rapid heartbeat
shallow breath
feeling so unsettled
unstable, the instability is the worst thing
she hears others voices
sees them in front of her
they try to engage with her
but she cant engage with them
she cant speak
for if she does
a torent of tears
will escape her eyes
slide down her face
why? why is she so sad?
haunted by memories
memories of horrible things
in her past
the memories, last
unable to stand them now
not for another minute
so she somehow starts to try
to distract
to engage her mind
as time ticks by
ever so slowly
and she ponders
is it going to be like this forever?

Hope

when all else fails
have hope
when nothing is going right
have hope
hope is what keeps us going
the fuel the heart lives on
that’s right
hope, hope is what we all need
to survive
to thrive
hope is what we need to breathe
so breathe hope into your soul
and watch it grow
and flourish
watch how you start to change
life looks up
looks good
when hope is found
surround yourself with hope
hope that things will get better
and remember
there are people out there
people who care
people who love you
People who will give you the moon
and so…
always, have hope!
