Ink Spill

Resentment pushes
Forth frozen sentiments of earth;
Releases light
And growth and hatred and poison.
My hand vomits obscenities,
Paints precision
And vision,
Scrawls the pettiness of everyday,
Sings brainchildren into the mundane,
Slings spite into the un-hearing trespass
And begins respite
To my stifled self;
Creates breath
Where I had no capacity for air.
Through my calloused hand
My life spills into ink
Across the paper
Where I am created.

You've got a real gift for artistic expression, and even though the subject is serious and the care you've taken in composing it is obvious, it has an airy, spontaneous feel. It's the true quill—excellent job!

You are human this says but in a metaphoric way. It sounds better in a poem than to say "I blew it." Good job.

Very nice. I am impressed! You have a talent for not only painting precision, but for painting beauty with your words.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
