the winter poemThe crows sweep out from my carthe winter poem1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
on the country roads, frozen fields
and a wave of black,
it lifts me as they flock away and
back, silent and sure of themselves,
then the chatter as I pass,
the community, fighting and
blooming up from the dead ground,
continuous motion.
White CanvasThe pale of a ghost whiteWhite Canvas2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Is lain upon the ground.
An ice crystal reformed
To play its silent sound.
A thousand fingers
Sent to hush lips.
Look behind what lingers
To see of who white blood drips.

from YOU to eternatyAh wanna tell ya 'bout a girlfrom YOU to eternaty1 year ago in Personal More Like This
You know, she lives in room 29
Why... Why... that's the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry
O Ah hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
All thru this lonesome night
Ah hear her crying too.
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks,
Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!!
Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
Fled outa the window,
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
Mine! O Mine!
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
and standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, Ah know it must sound absurd
but Ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!:thumb169
national poetry writing month!Forgive me, for the long overdue blog entry.national poetry writing month!1 month ago in Personal More Like This
However, it's Day 11 of NaPoWriMo— have you written your 11th poem yet? Are you participating in NaNoWriMo camp this month, too?
At this point in the 'game', I'm sure many poets & novelists alike may be lacking inspiration. After all, your inspiration and motivation for writing 30 poems can waver and dwindle easily (writing so much poetry isn't what it's cracked up to be.) #fortheblueskies is here to offer prompts in order to work out your writing muscle.
Prompts
"At twenty, I tried to die"
"He was my North, my East and my West."

[Also, who is doing NaPoWriMo?]
so i guess this is an explanation.On December 2nd 2012 I lost my friend Will. I hate when people ay lost like that, because I didn't lose him, he isn't a fucking wallet or a library book but I don't know what else to say so there it is.so i guess this is an explanation.2 months ago in Personal More Like This
Anyway, he overdosed on heroin. And I've been writing about it a lot. And I don't know what this is, I might submit it as a poem later on, but right now it's just a ramble. And I figure I owe it to Will to keep writing about it. And I owe it to you guys to explain what all the depressive poetry has been about.
So here goes.
Love you guys, thanks so much for your support of my work. It makes me immeasurable happy.

you said you were worried about me. i wish you didn't have to be.
i said- "i'm really tired of feeling depressed.
will this end with the winter?
will the winter end?
and i'm just so tired of everyone leaving
when they promise they'll stay.
when they've promised to be there-

to not throw myself in front of a car."
you said that you weren't going to leave. that you're not the type to leave.
you held my hand when i burst into tears. it didn't scare me.
you said that you wished that winter was over. for me. that i needed to see the sun again, like i deserved to feel okay again. i felt loved more than i had in a while.
i felt less heavy and more heavy all at the same time.

a lot of the crap that's been going on is the opposite of okay. and i'm really tired of it. i'm just really tired. and frustrated. and pissed off. and i feel worthless. and like some other people have decided i'm worthless.
and damn it, winter is hard enough without having to feel all of this.
so no, i'm not okay.
and it's not like i can tell people, "yeah, i'm going through hell, and what __ and __ are doing isn't helping." i can't tell anyone the whole story. and the one person who knows almost the full story is having a breakdown from utter exhaustion and i can't help but feel responsible.
and i just keep getting slapped in the face or spit at (figuratively) by all these people i love and i still love them. i love them to the moon, the sun, and the stars, to the very edge of our galaxy and beyond.
and maybe that's why it hurts so much.
i just want everything to be okay.
and it's not right now.

Contest + October ChallengeHello, fellow aspiring authors!Contest + October Challenge7 months ago in Personal More Like This
First of all, I'd like to announce you that one of our affiliate groups, :iconfull-moon-poetry: is holding a poetry contest with the deadline on December 21st. General theme: the end of the world. The rules can be found here: http://full-moon-poetry.deviantart.com/journal/Apocalyptic-contest-327285163
Also, because we're aspiring authors, I'd like to launch a pre-NaNoWriMo challenge to all our members: write a novelette (7.5k-15k words) - and submit it to a market.
Does that sound scary? Yeah, to me too. Here's how it's going to work:
1. Decide on what you want to write. Then do one of two things:
a. Start typing and see what happens.
b. Sit down with a nice cup/glass of something and go through the details of your story, deciding who/when/what happens - and then start writing.
2. Post an approximate description/summary of what you're doing here, in the comments. DO NOT post your story. Why? Because many markets want to publish new material; if they find

Anyways, I thought it was about time for another update, you guys. A lot has happened and needs to be spoken of.
First off, summer is here and going great. I get to go to Las Vegas for a few days at the end of the month the the family which will be fun. The last time I was there was like six years ago. I just remember that the city lights at night were really cool. I plan on taking lots of pictures of that and the many street performers.
I'm kind of excited for the new school year to start. Not that I want summer to go by quicker, but things will be a little different this next semester. Many of my long-time watchers may remember that I was going to college for radiology or x-ray tech. But I've done some thinking and after talking it over with my parents, I've decided to change my maj

I have passed into the ranks of the RHS AlumniYes, you heard me. I am writing this as a freshly graduated high schooler.I have passed into the ranks of the RHS Alumni1 year ago in Personal More Like This
I graduated.
I GRADUATED.
I never thought this day would come, but come it has. And, I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty darn proud of myself. I graduated as Valedictorian with a 4.0. I spoke at the graduation ceremony, and people told me my speech was their favorite. I am so honored to be where I am.
So here's to the future, full of the unknown. Here's to my first year at BYU. I'm going to make it the best year ever.
Back to Good Ol' Beauty Base ZeroFor me, the last few hours have been absolutely EXHAUSTING.Back to Good Ol' Beauty Base Zero1 year ago in Personal More Like This
I just had to pull an Elphaba and let myself be all girl-ified. (~ravenwritingclaw, That's what my Facebook status meant.) Makeup, hair, the whole she-bang. And a literal crapload of glitter. I'm still shedding it.
Do you want to know why I got all dressed up? Drum roll please.......
My chorus concert!
I know, lame excuse. But we did a choral revue of the Wizard of Oz, and I had to be Glinda. Or Galinda, or Glenda. Whatever. Names are beside the point. I had to dress up to play Glinda, which means I had to wear my hair in a bun, put loads of shiny makeup on, and yes.....I wore a giant, poofy pink dress. *GASP*
The whole thing went great, and now I'm back to Beauty Base Zero (HG reference!), with my hair wet and straight from my shower. Yay!
As for the whole one-shot thing. Next up, I've got a three-parter coming. Be prepared!

i am absolutely floundering. my heart is god-knows-where, my eating is minimal and my purging maximal, and i am feeling so weak and sore and tired and ugh. i'm sick of getting up in the morning and doing things. i just want to sleep, all of the time. and i can't be alone. maybe that's a good thing, but at the same time, my shame multiplies. what's scary is realising that this disorder isn't at all under my control -- i notice i can't stop even when i try, and i know this because i hate purging more than most things in life, like the only things worse are probably the holocaust and iodine, and yet i do it daily. i'm just scared.
