The Foreigner

The Foreigner

:iconpretty-paradox:

Moving in yellow light
Overflowing-
Sink, sink, into a violent sea

Float like a tiny boat.
Battered and bowing
On a silent sea

Load my lungs and now I’m choking
Flesh green and glowing
On an ill-tempered ocean

Commotion, commotion – waves in motion
         Foam and froth their foreign tongues frame
Languages I cannot name.

His armour of silver scale erupting fanlike tails
Beneath sallow skin pervade
Plunge me beneath the waves.

Wedding

:iconpretty-paradox:

  • Mood: Tired
  • Listening to: Lights Out - Santogold
hello everyone!


Firstly I hope everyone is well!

Secondly...I need help...
I have been asked to write a poem, not just any ole' poem.
One for my Dad's wedding.

By no means can it be religious.

I am struggling to think of topics, apart from the obvious.
As my dad has been very helpful in that when I asked him what he wanted to be about he shrugged and said...."Well anything really...whatever you think is right(!)"
Which is quite not helpful.

Is making it rhyme to corny?
I could do with a bit of general advice.

Thanks very much :)

Hi! Couldn't help but notice you'd been back online recently :P
Hope everything's ok, I've suddenly found myself back here recently too, although I haven't had much time to create anything..
I'm doing a painting for my sister that she wanted :P

What have you been up to?

Yes i'm at university I started 3 weeks ago now (that's how often I come on here too :S) but I should be on more often, I just bought a laptop..
I'm at Wolverhampton with Dave and Matt Hand so I still know people which is good and I get to stay around here so I won't miss too many people
How are you getting on and what are you doing lately? Hope you're ok x
