For the weekly write-in at Cake. Short and sweet – http://cakeshortandsweet.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/wednesday-write-in-64/. Something different on the poetry side, not the best one but still a poem. Hope you enjoy!
Prompts
handful :: deadline :: birdsong :: headache :: resonate
Like a birdsong it jingled
Through my mind side to side:
“Did you tell me the truth
Or you bitterly lied?”
Did you see it all crushing?
Did you live through this pain?
Have you set up a deadline
To love and betray?
Bottom’s approaching,
Minutes are counted,
And truth in the memories
Preciously hunted.
I search for it eagerly,
Like feast after hunger,
I creep through your mind
Like a blossoming thunder.
I go through the headache,
And heartache, and hell
Making the rule
Of “don’t ask and don’t tell!
I stay with you, while bleeding through love!
I resonate pain, I resonate fear,
My heart is so fragile
So, don’t even dare!
Some nice parts, some rhymes are a bit artificial, overall it could be a good poem to perform 🙂

Hello there, thank you! 🙂 As I said, it probably is the worst poetry you’ve ever read, but I tried… and that alone counts (blushing). And… sometimes, to get yourself back to where you belong – you need to take yourself out somewhere, where you feel like a total stranger, in this case it’s poetry for me.

It’s not the worst poetry I’ve read 😉 there are a couple moments (the beginning, the h-rhythm in the end) which I think worked well. But the rhyming seems to hold you back for now. Don’t be afraid of free verse or occasional rhyming 🙂
