Arianne Daye Poetry

A stanza from a project I recently worked on, shown across three different drafts.

I'm always fascinated by how a poem changes during revision. Sometimes a line disappears completely, only to find its way back later in a different form.

Which version speaks to you the most?

Misty fog, surrounding me Burning colours, beneath my feet Wind in my ear, whispers, unseen

Wet grass, in my nose Red fur, across the path Chittering, in the tree

Silence, but not silent surrounding me, in misty fog

almost torn,

facing the tea set,

standing alone ..."

I reach for the void

The wide open sky

The breeze through my fingers

The colours my guide

I smell the scent of flickering light

the calming balm of dreamers' sight

The touch of time - unbroken, unseen

filling my soul, my heart, my being

I hear the laughter of life

its teasing light tone

The voices of Echoes

Remembrance in Stone.

Remembrance in Stone"

Resting on a velvet bed

Sparkling, shining

covers red

Curves pristine, of noble cut

Spinning, calling

Paid in blood

Raised up high, on fingers slim

Turning, praising

lights are dim

Dressed in gold, the purpose clear

asking, hoping

a promise to wear.

Senses

A whisper on the wind

A flicker in the dark

A tickle of a feather

A scent of memory

Fleeting like a dream

Burning like a hope

Chasing like a wish

Waiting like a star

For now I have joined "Poetry on tumblr"

Some may recognize the name Arianne Daye from an old blog, but that one was over 10 years old and I had completly forgotten about it.

As it did not feel like 'me' anymore, this is a fresh start. A blank slate.

In the future I will post some of my original works here as well as writing tips, wholesome quotes and pictures and everything I think you may like.

Edit: That is what I thought, but I think I will keep it to my original works, rather than a common writing tip blog. Because honestly? I mostly write by instinct, how it feels natural to me, so I wouldnt be a good person to give tips- for now.

I am trying to continue to grow as writer, as poet, so maybe sometime in the future, I will be able to help someone else discover their creative self.
