Making things up

Making things up

A Poem by Samuel Jack

She sits in Her room, making up,

 

Creative things?  Destructive things.

 lies to fling,

  weapons to swing.

 

A pile of used relationships in the corner

Little jewled bits of misery, used to adorn her

When she's saved up enough, they'll be weaved

into a cloak

covering her from foot to throat

only her face left to us.

 

To me its a plea.

 

"Please grieve

or

at least emote."

First time being able to format the poem on someone elses PC, so now i can start being more creative with font and arrangment. Not that I think that makes a poem, its still just words, if their crap words its a crap poem :)

No, I like the thought out format. It does make a difference. Sry, I’ve been gone for awhile. I wasn’t inspired while living life. I’m now a cafe supervisor. FYI it’s not a crap poem. Not even close.

This was very creative, yet painted a very symbolic picture. I really enjoyed this. xo Winter

Seems as though the pain throughout her past relationships have taking their toll. This line "Little jeweled bits of misery, used to adorn her" is just great. We do tend to wear our emotions, I like the way you presented that concept. This is a fantastic poem, regardless of formatting (which I do like BTW). I do agree with your author's note "crap words", you are right- no amount of creative arrangement can fix that. You have a winner here however.

The way it's formatted definitely gave your words a descriptive enhamcement, and the rhyming flows well, not forced or like you're trying hard to do it. Good read.

you know, writing a poem where the rhymes actually add to, in place of distract from, the content and imagery is really rare. I love the weaving of used relationship into a cloak. Awesome, thought-provoking poem that packs a huge punch with just a few words.

The different formatting of the line definitely gave the poem a punch! AND the imagery is quite amazing! Weaving misery and sorrow into a cloak...golly. That's a pretty powerful line there! Nicely done and so much fun to read!

Thank you very much. The arrangement definatly has an effect.
Im liking this adventurous bent Samuel. I can see many layers in this work (the phrase 'making up' has lots of connotations) - like a flowchart the reader can follow many different routes.
You've thrown down a challange here and asked the reader to bring their self to the table and indugle...
Very generous write mate.
