Letters & Love Notes

 Nobody gets a choice. 

            But here, set the parameters:

                    What sort of story would you like? 

a)    an adventure

b)    love, love

c)    a mystery

d)    slow horror

Good news!

                       You get all four.

But you get to select the protagonists!

     Who will you sentence?

                                  Choose:

a)    yourself

b)    your shadow

c)    your ‘best friend’

d)    a man you don’t know

(Don’t choose the man you don’t know. You don’t know him. He could be smart, or worse, strong.)

        So, the rest are

                                all you.

               Please select Character Two:

a)    coffee shop woman

b)    yoga class man

c)    stranger on the streets

Are you happy with your choice?

It won’t really matter, anyway;

you’re not slated to be happy,

you are slated to be in love.

Which brings us to:

                please choose a Difficulty Level:

a) Easy

b) Medium

c) Hard

[Tip: This part is like coffee. There can never be enough cream, and you will get scalded anyway.]

Hm. Poor choice. 

But there is no good choice, so I suppose 

you did well enough.

Just one last question.

                                 Choose a Colour:

a) pink

b) blue

I hope you didn’t think too hard on that one.

The colour

of heartbreak

does not matter,

just as pink & blue pills

both taste the same.

You

    will soon be

This is the new and improved poetry blog that was formerly @poetic-indirect that will now be dedicated solely to poetry of all kinds, wether written by me or by anyone else. If you had followed me over there, I would love to see you around over here too!

This new blog represents a change in me, and now that I’m recovering from some very unfortunate incidents, I would like to restart my year long poetry challenge. I will be reposting the few dozen from my other blog at some point, but I’m really looking forward to wiping my slate clean and starting anew.

Everybody stumbles sometimes, and I’m glad to have found my feet again. 

So if you would like to rejoin me on my journey, I welcome you with open arms!
