101. Orange juice
Why, hello there. Today has been okay. Nothing terribly exciting happened, but it wasn't bad. Didn't get much sleep last night because we have a family from Finland staying with us and they have a baby who decided to scream at about 1-hour intervals all night. Ugh. I can't even remember most of the day lol, daydreamt through it all i think. I finally decided on a poem to do my essay on last night. Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy. Here:
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.
Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute card or kissogram.
I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.
Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
Whatcha think? I love it. Have written over 1500 words on it already :/ i should really learn to write less. I've to type out another essay too. I know what i'll be doing this weekend lol.
B'bye for now xxx
