Pride of a Passable Poet

I stand on the edge a cliff grazing the night sky scratching the surface mile upon inked mile alphabetical genius of truer grandeur ant before giants my filthy big eyes wander past cloud-ridden heads fingernails stretched out silent shouts for half a dime sweet graffiti prose standing on the edge of alphabetical greats my cloud-ridden head writer in a daze a cockroach contribution to a gold ink stream Is it truly worth this endless predictable hassle I drown in?

A House

Across a narrow street from a busy highway viaduct, there was a house. The bricks of the house were painted dark blue. On the right side of the doors, people kicking snow off their boots had chipped away at the paint, revealing the original rusty red. There was also a little stained glass window, with a fleur-de-lis bulging out in the middle, from which a few pieces had gone missing. On the left side, there was a bay window, off-white, with oak shutters. The doors were oak too, with a…

Amnesia

He traps a swarm in his skull Bee beasts multiplied Huddled, hurdled, slow and dull Their stings over-amplified He crawls off a tightrope Tired arms clinging by a finger Slippery hands, what a sad trope Caterpillars chewing off his anger His cockroach eyes go wild For a woman scorned, but who? Clawing at his throat, he’s a child Does he taste like them, too? He traps a swarm in his skull Lonely larvae gnawing at his brain Devoured by the mighty seagull- King, of truly all the main He crawls…

Astronomical Nostalgia

Since when have you inspired my pen To move across the page with such vigor and passion? Rhetorical question, I know it was then When suddenly emotions were in peak fashion. Times so exiting, I did not even think That it would come to an end; A screeching halt as I blinked. And so I lie here only to comprehend the emotional blend that I did in fact send alongside time that I spend Wondering if this is a trend, if it’s something I can amend. I want Emotional to…

Azur

Watching you speeding off, A caterpillar faster than a centipede. Listening to your announcements, A bionic woman known to Man. Feeling your trembling body, The rumble of a rocket’s take-off. Smelling your new, fresh fragrance, A pine tree hanging in a car. Tasting innovation, Tomorrow is today, Today is tomorrow. Written By: Katherine Willcocks April 2016

Adrift

Yesterday’s music really helped me. I feel well-rested today, and I’m ready to get to work. The classroom was empty; I’m the only one here. Through the windows, I could see many budding plants outdoors. It was late afternoon outside, but in my mind the day was just getting started. As the sun anxiously awaited its departure over the horizon, I was feverishly regarding a horizon of my very own. This horizon of mine made me feel euphoric. Something kept gnawing at my self-awareness, however, I was adrift within contemplation, and…

A Kingdom of Colour

In a far off land, where the skies reflect a radiant blue light into the eyes of beholders, and the natural landscapes possess the most vivid green aura about them, a kingdom exists.

He hailed from a long line of philosophers who organized sustainable methods of managing the economy and government. Soon after getting married, his wife became…
