Singing to the Wetlands by *IrrevocableFate:iconIrrevocableFate:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Nature > Open


I'm the girl with bayou eyes,
twigs, mud and death snaking into my curls.
I pause to breathe and s-h-o-c-k,
shock sets in:

Day One.
Earthen clasps latch on my arms,
pulling me back down;
the meandering waters clutch
at my bell-shaped elbows.

Day Six.
My smile is climatic;
the sun always seems to shine,
burning the layers of leaves
but I can't even put up a fight
to remember it's grace.

Day Seventeen.
I'm surrounded by an animalistic embrace--
mismatched light from alligator stares
and throaty frog musings.

Day Twenty-eight.
I forget what color
the back of my eyelids were.

They had asked for " a poem or something too, if you want. Just no romance." I hope this is okay. (:



HOP TO IT STEPHANY. :B STOP BEING A SLACKER.


Thank you ~lemmingtimes for being my editor! :blowkiss:

Also for =KneelingGlory's Mini Poetry Contest . Humor was encouraged but I am rarely funny, especially when it comes to poetry. D: Used the words "climatic" and "bell".

Duuude, reminds me of Twenty-Eight Days Later... probably because of the last stanza, haha.

Inhales the entire swamp, exhales twisted erudition; a triumph of unbound imagination and disciplined focus...

How do you manage to do such glorious magic each time with your words? :faint:

I've always known that I'd be trapped;
the world outside no longer shows.
And here, within this dream, I'm caught...
the Lady of the Blackened Rose.
