Poem

In lieu of an entry, I decided to post a poem from my virb account as no one's reading this over there and I want to post and just... do something as opposed to waiting for a thing to be done.

A Thing Adrift
I've decided I've no need for a boyfriend.
Not at least more than I need a yesman.
Earnest for my approval.
Ready and willing to lie
To save my

That's beautiful, Krista. I'm not the best critic in terms of poetry, it's always been my absolute weakest point in terms of writing. But I know when I'm moved and when I'm not and this moved me.

I especially loved this::

A vessel that sails away all that wavers,
terrified, storm-sick, blanched and abandoned,
and returns it salvaged and without a seam.

That was really poignant, like the true heart of the matter. I don't know, I just found that bit particularly striking.

Beautiful, hun. Sorry I don't have anything, like, useful to say. I'm poetically retarded. D:

Oh, thank you for your comments. Poetry is a certain passion of mine, though I don't do it enough and I don't take enough care with it. Most of it ends up fairly stream-of-conscious like that. But, I like it because it's something I can complete - unlike, say, my fanfiction.
