MuffinLad's Poetry Build Up Corner

[MuffinLad]

A tidbit about me.
I have been writing poems for about, give or take 5 years now.
Started writing in 2011

I learned the basics of being a poetry teacher from a woman called Amberly Laverick
and finally. I have performed 3 poetry recitals and have had my poems printed on 2000 brochures
in my town/city.

Here is some older samples I used to write.

The Warm Touch Of Serenaded Honey

I will love you forever and a day.

If I could touch your memory, let it sing out proud!

Nonsensical and sticky is the aura surrounding me

I notice a change in the weather’s patterns

Forecasted a beautiful harmony of music

Dripping wet on my mind, sugar spun hills give out tempting offerings.

Not worth sighing away the heat, it gives a sensation of trust.

Within myself, I value the trials I must endure

An image worth keeping, long for its embrace until night comes.

Sleepless Nights and Haunted Memories

My dreams escape me through a florescent needle

Burning crystals sink deeper into my head.

Still I stir from overbearing nightmares

It’s the scent of hopelessness in the air, the stench of failure

I repel all around me when I awaken

Lingering in the darkness, eternally lost to the desperation within.

Savoir the last drawn breath.

My tears cannot reach you. They fade into the scenery I helped formulate.

An image of death, painted on the canvas of loneliness

Cruelty of the Silent Curtain

Admiring the storm from a distance.

The colours torn away, lost in its own brilliance

A smile is revealed through the cracks of a wall.

Shining on a rough surface of glass.

Blinding all that meet its gaze.

I inject a wave of nausea into its skin.

To let it unfold its facade upon the world.

Merciless hymns reign in my ear

I spiral out of control, soaked in the flood of misery.

Wet and tired, I lie perfectly still

Waiting for the vultures to feed on my ripe flesh.

Enjoy them

The Warm Touch Of Serenaded Honey

This is an awesome title!

I think Sleepless Nights and Haunted Memories is my fave. I especially liked "My tears cannot reach you." It's pretty powerful imagery!

That's awesome that you've actually performed at poetry recitals! :O Public speaking freaks me out, let alone trying to say something as personal as poetry in front of people. Good on you!

[MuffinLad]

Thanks Sarah! Glad you like them!
I have performed in front of people
and I was scared at first.
Then I got used to it in time.

@MuffinLad I apologise for never happening upon this thread. I love your poems so much. o.o They're really well worded. A little depressing, but very good. I found this line particularly effective:

I spiral out of control, soaked in the flood of misery.

Great imagery. :] I hope to see more!

[EmeraldSky]

Yes, I love how your imagery is very vivid--it really helps bring the poetry to life.
