Poem 1
Billions of stars
Flash by me like a billion eyes
Little worlds
Big universes
One thousand truths
One thousand lies
Puddles on the floor
Happy puddles
Smothering paper towns
Rotting away…
Old eyes!
Old eyes bleached with white
Cataracts like explosions of milk
Within a blue sea
I feel so old
Yet I am so young
Years running away from me
Find me amongst 27 cats
In a house made of gingerbread
Happy puddles and melting ice cream
Disco balls casting glittering light
On an otherwise dark room
I have seen our world
Our paper town
Yet I am so young
Allow me to forget
My death and closed milky eyes
Allow silence
Before I live again
Billions of stars
Flash by me like a billion eyes
A life’s worth of memories
In just a second of time

Thank you so much, like that has seriously made my day. I don’t like this poem anymore (because I hate everything I wrote less than an hour ago) and people don’t normally like it that much, because it’s sort of strange, in the way I describe things. It’s like very random, and people think I’m just making things rhyme when all the lines have meaning. Anyway, you probably didn’t want a lecture – it’s just comments like that mean so much and I want to spend as much time as possible expressing my gratitude. Lots of love xx

Well people take in words differently, and I think that’s what I love most about poetry in general. Some will connect with your words and some won’t, that’s just how it is, but never let that bring you down! There’ll always be AT LEAST one person who will see more than just letters and rhyming words in what you write. Go on writing!💙
