FUUUUUCK YESSSSSSSSS ADD IT TO THE TALLY, BOYS !!!! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE !!!!!!

HEHEHEHE i hope you enjoyed writing !! AND I HOPE I GET TO SEE IT SOON !!!! 💛💛💛

Storm on the Island by Seamus Heaney

We are prepared: we build our houses squat, Sink walls in rock and roof them with good slate. This wizened earth has never troubled us With hay, so, as you see, there are no stacks Or stooks that can be lost. Nor are there trees Which might prove company when it blows full Blast: you know what i mean — leaves and branches Can raise a tragic chorus in a gale So that you listen to the thing you fear Forgetting that it pummels your house too. But there are no trees, no natural shelter. You might think that the sea is company, Exploding comfortably down on the cliffs, But no: when it begins, the flung spray hits The very windows, spits like a tame cat Turned savage. We just sit tight while wind dives And strafes invisibly. Space is a salvo, We are bombarded by the empty air. Strange, it is a huge nothing that we fear.

HEHEHE fun stuff in this one !!!

and hi truly !!!!! 💛

the water skips past like sparks of candy floss and dissipates into frothy bubbles chasing us as if we were its last companion

the worms writhe, trapped in a mockery of their sweet damp home, and anguish their every sacrifice to the scaled creatures below

the bird swoons and sings, dancing around the post his lover sits on and urges her to join in his jubilant celebration of spring

the metallic fish lays above the waves, grieving its life before its terrible end. perhaps as a child's first love, or caught by sharp metal and thrown back for its spots

[author's notes bc why not ig:

Critizism is very welcome! Poetry isn't exactly my thing anyways, so who cares if it's not perfect or if one person (you) doesn't particularly care for it, there are so many different styles of poetry after all! Also, I'll never improve if I dont ask for feedback on both positive and negative ends. This is also an older poem of mine, so who really cares? I dont!

Info on what each stanza is about if it's not clear enough for you ahead, feel free to ignore for John interpretation purposes!

The first stanza was my thoughts about the wake the boat was making, the second was about the worms on our hooks, the third was about some birds I saw at the dock, and the fourth was about a dead goldfish in the water. Sorry about that last one Lilly!

Why are these notes longer than the poem...]
