Hello 😀
A regular reader of mine (*waves*) brought me back some sparkly pens from Spain! I used one for my poem today, and oooo it’s so shiny!! Pink and glittery, how unabashedly girly, huh? And why not? 😉
Thank you, lovely pen benefactress!
You will see I caught the page in a patch of sun, so half of the poem is obscured, but (conveniently) I have written it out below for you. Handy or what…?
Coat Result Ostracize Skip Latest Fade Arrow Poison Remunerate
I threw on my coat,
Left in the rain,
Furious with slights
That no one else saw.
All this reaction
The result of years,
Others tried to ostracize me:
Skip past my humanity
And find me wanting.
This latest jibe
Resounded in my ears
And refused to fade
By bedtime.
A historical arrow
Exacting its poison
Through my most sensitive veins.
I fear no amount of growth
Will adequately remunerate me
For their unceasing onslaught.
My memory is violent –
Even gentle words
Can twist in its storm.
