The little things in life!
 
Hello there! I've always been somewhat of a writer (even published once or twice) and I like to share my poetry with others so I can tell where to improve and get feedback in general. I'm actually undergoing a Creative Writing degree at the moment, in my first year, as I hope to be an author one day. So, here are 3 of my poems, I'll add more at some point! ^_^ Enjoy <3

Oh and if you'd like to hear my reading one of my own poems, you can find one on YouTube here: *Clicky*


Deprivation:

A thunderous humming emits from my computer in the other room,
Like a complaint from an old man at a bus stop in winter,
And while the loud sound resonates in my empty chest,
It almost becomes a lullaby in the night.

I should be annoyed with the sounds I hear while I'm awake,
But sleep deprivation has left me an emotionless shell,
So laying conscious and staring at the textured ceiling,
I try to imagine it's the sound of transport.

I'm on a plane flying to somewhere cool and sunny,
Where humidity is just a word in a dictionary that means very little,
And the sun plays hide and seek with fluffy white clouds,
That never threaten to pour with drops of rain.

I'll shop in swimsuit, sarong and flip-flops,
Picking out postcards to send to my loved ones,
Scrawling quick simple messages across the backs,
The ink smudges slightly on my final "I miss you."

Then the heat clings to me while my throat closes up,
And suddenly I'm back in a dark messy room,
With the window open though it offers no real benefit,
I close my eyes and pray for sweet unconsciousness.


If I Had a Thinner Body:

If I had a thinner body,
It wouldn't be thin for long.
I'd stuff my face with chocolate and crisps,
And other foods that are wrong.

If I had a thinner body,
I'd get fat in a couple of days.
Through lack of exercise and really bad food,
And probably many other ways!

If I had a thinner body,
It wouldn't take long to ruin it.
So if you'll excuse me for a minute,
My fat arse needs a place to sit!


Gabriel the Archangel:

Who will fix his broken wings,
And return them to beautiful things.
This sad angel fell from grace,
When god put him in his place.
All of this for a simple lie,
To save a girl who wanted to die.
When love he found in her smile,
Making her worth the while.
He could not be any closer to hell,
Than in the place he now must dwell,
With rats and mice and all sorts of things,
He would risk all but love for his faithful wings.
