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

HOLE

SINISTER HOLE.
DEVIANT TEMPTATION.
ASSHOLE.
JUMP INTO ITS UNKNOWN
WITHOUT REALLY THINKING.
AND THE HOLE SAID
"YOU COULD LAND IN A CROWD, AND IT DOESNT MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING UP WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN"
IS THIS MY NEW BEST FRIEND?
THE HOLE WITH SENSE?
I GOTTA TELL YOU,
I CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

soft rug

as i lay on this rug,
with
the softest fibers.
i wonder who's hands made it possible.
so i take a trip without moving a muscle.
look for the woman, so i could thank her.
but as i get close, her house is a hut.
and when it rains, her floors turn to mud.
my voice becomes weak, when i see her teeth.
rotten and brown, and her cracked white lips bleed.
my eyes well up,
with a mettalic taste on my tongue.
she says, "my god. you're not even young".
'just leave. dont thank me for the work ive done.
i've never felt its luxury.'

SYLVIA

what a terrible way to get attention.
an ill timed intervention.
i dont think it was her intention, really.
a great mind is capable
of such powerful mistakes.
im blown away.
how could anyone think they could save her
from something so inate?
