stella's blog and poetry attempts....

hello! thank you for coming to visit. this is all the junk i write. some of it is good, some of it is crap. i know, im not trying to be the next sylvia plath. though, she is my favorite. definately dont want to end up like her. but, Ariel, is the best collection of poems i have ever read in my life. once in a while, when im not trying to be a poet, or rather, attempting to be poetic, sometimes, when im not looking, a little phrase or word will pop out of my brain. if its good, its usually because im not trying too hard, and because sylvia pushes my pen, from wherever she is, especially when i am struggling with everyday life. lots of love, bella xxx

six foot by eight

read my notebooks. my dusty things i still say. ive made no headway in beds ive made. still sleeping in shame on trains in my brain, under steel wheels of worry, pills and thrills are only temporary. it stayed. that cluttered land fill with broken toilets and warm refrigerators i stole. i thought i could stuff them in the hole. thought i could make them new with a fresh coat of paint. but my frame is falling with gravity, and now people are noticing.my cracks need to be stuck with needles to freeze a frozen expressionless face. i am now art with veins. im a picture for sale, six foot by eight. im a giant cheap vase, with plastic flowers, no water, no leaves. flawed bendy stems made in a sweat shop by the taiwanese, with rough edges, that if you touch, you will bleed.
