bowl of sky, half-formed tadpoles
wriggle in puddles
beside the road. stone crunches

Amberlin's Song of the Belt

Del and Ralad, Mere and Plain,
Dread Gnomes, Torans, Jalis name:
One in seven. Seven, one.
Circled round, the spell is done.

Guarded by Adin’s true heir.

Little One

Wake little, wake little, wake little fast one,
For now our new day has begun.
Wake little, wake little, wake little fast one,
For now our new day has begun.
Run little, run little, run little strong one,
For there's a hunt we must go on.

Fight little, flight little, fight little brave one,
For there are those we must defend.

Editing

You keeping writing me out of this story;
I keep putting myself back in.
We keep battling back and forth,
A duel of wits and paper and pen.

Companion Clara

You came here on a maple leaf
To float into this land.
You looked outside your window,
And there you saw a man:
Little coat and little smile,
A bow tie on his breast.
You ran away; don't look away:
The weary have no rest.

Song of the Companions

There's a long list of people
Who've come and who've gone:
Companions can never stay;
They have to move on.
Some, they are left behind,
And some choose to go,
And some, I am sad to say,
Die on the road.
But don't travel all alone
Throughout space and time;
You need to have company
To help keep your mind.
Travel too long alone,
And soon you'll become
The very thing you fought against
For so very long.

River's Song to the Doctor

You keep moving forward
While I keep falling backward.
You keep running onward
While I am left behind.
You'll keep traveling, I know,
Throughout Space and Time.
Alas, the clock that stopped here
Happened to be mine...

offense

why do i reread old messages
scratching at old scabs until they bleed
anew, keeping the hurt
the anger the indignation fresh?
why do i go places
i know will cause the burning
rage in my gut, bile in my throat
the "i'm betters" and "told you so's"?
why do we think to find peace
while always looking to be offended?

It's Never Too Late

Every now and then, something happens to make me glad I'm a librarian:
An older gentleman walks in
looking for a book of poems by Helen Steiner Rice.
His skin is weathered brown and he wears a checked red jacket.
The look makes me think of farms
and years spent tilling the earth.
In his rough, husked voice,
he says he needs to read a poem at church,
and she is the only poet he knows of.
We don't have any copies here, but
I direct him to our nonfiction section
with 100 Essential American Poems edited by Leslie M. Pockell,
in the hopes that he would find another poem
to his liking.

I go back to my desk.
A few minutes later,
he comes up to the desk,
book in hand and tears in his eyes.
He says,
"You're not going to believe this."
With a smile, I say,
"Try me."
He sets the books down.
It's open to the poem 'Little Boy Blue' by Eugene Field.
I glance at the page,
then look up at him.
He says,
"Way back,
when I was in a one-room school house,

Arianna's Quest

A rose in shattered teacup
Is calling me onward.
I don't know what it means now,
Or where I'll have to go.
I don't know if I'll come back alive
But I don't think I will,
All for the sake of the happiness
Of one who wished me ill.

why do you want to see me drunk?

i don't understand
the fascination to see
me drunk. i am scared
of what you may find inside
if inhibitions break down.
there's a reason i'm
so tightly controlled. this is
unsafe, unwise...for
you don't know what i could do.
beware. here there lie monsters.

An Artist Like Me

Everywhere there's people dying,
Everywhere there're children crying;
Suffering as far as I can see,
So there's no reason to expect a break
For an artist like me.
So many are drowning in debt,
Downing shots so they can forget
And trying to numb the misery;
So there's no reason to expect a break
For an artist like me.
Popping pills and trying to cope,
Realizing there isn't much hope
For any kind of recovery;
So there's no reason to expect a break
For an artist like me.
The bickering it never ends:
Pointing fingers, then making friends;
Got to laugh at the hypocrisy.
So there's no reason to expect a break
For an artist like me.
I don't see bombs or tanks, oh no,
This is the death that takes you slow:
Despair from which you can't struggle free;
So there's no reason to expect a break
For an artist like me.
Hard to fight when you're being crushed,
When every day feels like too much;
All your paths lead to futility,
But part of me keeps hoping for a break
For an artist like me.

//Katana -Kat ~Lady Rose
Artist | Hobbyist | Varied

United States

I am a 2010 graduate of Penn State Mont Alto with a B.A. in English. I have been reading and writing stories and poetry my entire life, but I've only recently made serious progress towards completing a novel. My novels are almost always fantasy, but my poetry can range along many topics, though most are written to be quiet, sad, or introspective. Alas, I am an indifferent visual artist, so most of my drawings ans paintings are products of my art classes, not free time and inspiration.

A long over-due update

by Starsister12, Nov 24, 2014, 6:28:07 PM
Journals / Personal

Listening to: computer humming
Reading: We Need To Talk About Kevin
Watching: Once Upon A Time
Playing: Metroid Prime (sporadically)
Eating: homemade brownies
Drinking: Chai

Oh my. Well. Um... hi! Yeah, it's... been a while. Like, 2 years since I've written a journal on DeviantART.

I really haven't updated very much here. The occasional poem, but I haven't really drawn anything in a long, long time. I still do a bit of lurking on dA, but not as much as I used to.

I am still writing though. Plugging away on my novel, uploading blog entries on The Cat's Cradle, and updating fan fiction (which you can read on www.fanfiction.net/~starsister… or on hikari-katana.deviantart.com)

Remember that depression I mentioned 2 years ago? Yeah. Still here. Still not fixed. Life is still crazy. Maybe one of these days I'll be more active on dA again.

Until then, check out my blog at kvclements.com and/or follow me on Twitter @kvclements.

Till the next long overdue update...
