Hello readers! As the first post on my blog which is no longer ‘Under Construction’ I have decided to post the first of many ‘Free Hand Writing’ posts which will included poetry and short stories. These posts will contain fresh writing, impromptu and extremely rough. I will attempt to work on and publish these short posts in less than 30 minutes. This is an ice breaker and breather exercise that I do to take my mind off of what I ‘m currently working on.
Here goes!
—————————————
Life of Words
Letting the words just drip,
drip,
drip and
fade and dry. They smell
sweet at first then
begin to ripen till
bittersweet, sting
-ing the back of the throat.
Words that bend, lose their elasticity
lose the ability to return to form
and brittle they break.
Ground up, crumbled into air and dust
Into, inhale,
Exhale, nothing.
Nothing to be devoured, nothing left.
The words rot and dissolve.
They die in their own ways,
they die and fade away.

If you’re reading this thank you for taking time out of your day to read my writing! I hope you return in the future!
Thank You!
