something sits in my mouth
ready to spill
hopefully into plumes of this & that
randomised portions of truth
molded around fictional breaded fruit
Angeline always liked to be bittersweet
savoured the pot for the followers
some people even thought her too real
in reality she became a tasting for the dish-of-the-day
layered inside the Book of Days
& walked on the Floorboards
her talents hidden and gifts showered
like borrowers
she stole small things to announce another story
unfolded onto the slickblack streets
Sadly, she is a quiet muse at the moment
brushed aside for other words to simmer
she will bring a bouquet of aromatic Northern grit
and familiar people routed still
this suits my mode, my world presently
mine is the tantalised aversion
that she will always be
Angeline from the Quarter

and how she finds her way to your page..

stupid comment to follow: love the use of the word floorboards here.. not sure why.. but it gives a very tactile feel to the piece..

I love the idea of the contest entered. It gives a poetic start no matter who is writing, I think. You gave this personality and emotionality. It works well, and I hope she comes out of hiding soon, although, I still see a lot of talent within your words.

Angeline may be quiet - for now, but she's alive and kicking inside you, gilly - and she will always be...she's right there with her finger on your poetic pulse - this poem shows it.
love the opening lines...brilliant

"something sits in my mouth
ready to spill"

I so love this beginning
something sits in my mouth
ready to spill
hopefully into plumes of this & that
Good stuff

very nice, a process that has flow and interruptions, detours and shortcuts but somehow, faithfully and truly brings a tantalizing beginning and a satisfying conclusion...very nice, resonant...tasty dish here...PK

Yours is more of a sweeping of shimmering colors across the canvas of our eyes, dear girl. I love your Angeline series, along with everyone else. Perhaps she's only quiet as she is assimilating the next round of brilliance for your pen to spill. Good luck in Mary's contest, Sweetie.
