Love Sestina (2)

Posted on February 11, 2010 by houstinhobby

But why the Sestina instead? It’s not really too fitting, for poetry so flighty to be about love. So what is going, to become of Valentines day, without it’s usual sing song sonnet?

I suppose it’s only fitting, to write about love, on this week we’ve got going, up to Valentines day, but instead of the usual sonnet, I have tried the Sestina instead. *Note – The sestina is a french form of … Continue reading →

Malaise (Final, Together)

Posted on February 9, 2010 by houstinhobby

Softly…, slowly…, sinking…, down, down, down, into the marsh I go. Enveloping…, engrossing…, encompassing…, down, down, down, it slowly pulls me in. Pulling…, lulling…, rolling…, down, down, down, drifting quietly to slumper. Hoping… joking… floating… down, down, down. Never to … Continue reading →

Did We Win? (7)

Posted on February 1, 2010 by UncleScrew

Silence descends like a heavy blanket. Talking, movement, he’s on the stretcher, his thumb is up. The crowd claps. Just the claps. No yells, no jeers, just the claps. The clock restarts, the battle lines reform, they break and clash … Continue reading →

Creepy Crawly

Posted on January 27, 2010 by houstinhobby

Sickly sinking in my stomach, something slimy, itchy, scratching, stroking, strolling, slowly sliding, slowly sinking, sinking, scratching, shivers down my spine.
