I’m going on an Instagram craze at the moment, and have tried to write some ‘instapoems’ for my instagram @millyschmidt. WARNING – these are the first I’ve ever done so I hope they aren’t too atrocious. And just so you know, it’s summer in Australia, which is why some of my poems are all sun, surf & sand. I also thought I’d keep in theme with my blog and add a cat gif I think is most appropriate for each poem… lol #crazycatlady
Bliss
think about how amazing it will be
to finally finish that novel
to type the end
to hold that heavy manuscript in your hands
to flip the pages and see your words in ink
…
Trust
true love, in all its forms
is the presence of forgiveness
not the absence of lies
…
Scorch
hear the cry of the seagulls
feel the stinging bite of the sun
taste the salty tang of the coastal breeze
all a veiled mirage
…
Dusk
I am in love with a shadow
a partially hidden memory
an echo of a forgotten reality
a ghost that slides from view
…
Glow
home be the sand
the cliffs
the sea
and the phosphorescent,
thundering waves
…
Pluck
to write beside a lion
is to write without fear
…
Inception
summer dreaming
and the unconscious gathering
of fragmented, waif-like remembrances
…
Fret
a word, a thought, sits
restlessly
it’s power untold
…
Flight
snarling waves are driven by an
Antarctic breeze
overhead the white monarchs
fly through the dull penumbra
of an endless cloud
…
Lie
a shimmering plumage
underneath a curtained tail
a stolen song a century old
is sung through the veil
