Elle May 2021
In the night,
Churned metal and motors
Give way to the corn -
Flies hum in the gloam,
- Their glowing bodies float high.
Thoughts swim through dark pools.
Eyes, wide at the unseen.
My fight, doused in doxepine,
Rides waves to dancing shores.
Fight or flight
Elle May 2021
Wide smiles swinging
Amid the automated bodies;
A dance amongst friends
- We're having the greatest time.
As they ask, you whisper:
Thanks, I'm fine.
First poem for a long time
Elle Nov 2020
Ready primed muses
Harsh white canvases
Subdued instruments
Tipped on their seats
Uneven lines
Beats out of step
Songbird's notes
Heckling off key
Hands in a shiver
Audience faced forward
Music caught in nets
Frozen fingers
Chest in a clamp
Silence hovering
Thick in the air

Paint drips
Heart flips
Brush without oil
Mind in turmoil

glitches, stitches ,misunderstandings
this is where we meet
unforgiven, unforgiving,
forgiven and set free
small inconveniences, physical hurts
emotional upsets
a helping hand, clenched fist
arms open wide.

evident; obvious; apparent; plain
the life that we desire
clean and streamlined
no strings attached
.
create your reality by your subconscious
anything that you want in life
hidden knowledge - of the answers to life
readily perceived by the naked eye
              lest we forget

I wrote this about 10 years ago in an experimental poetry course - I'd type a word into Google and use the search results to create a poem. Please note - all lines have been taken from multiple sources on Google.co.uk about 10 years ago.

"Steal from 1 source its plagiarism. Steal from multiple and it's creative genius."

Morning mildew
Soaks my toes
Susseration
          cloaks the fields
We smile
Giddy on memories
From the night before.
Please help me think of a title!
