‘Grammar’: An Acrostic-Anagrammatic Poem

-

Gosh! Note that beginning a poem with that G-word I’ve just

randomly and unjustly assigned to this one is

a bit poetic-pathetic-grammatically, not quite incorrect. Imperfect? I

mean just look at those absurd hyphenations hahaha!

My mess is a bit of a life, isn’t it? Or should I

absolutely stop that rubbish charade? Perhaps

righting the wronged life by focusing on bribing mine would help. Just saying.

 

‘Ashley needs to stop herself from turning into ashes,’ writes the

red pen that is my right hand, upon detaching itself from

me. Its ink shouts too loud, whizzing in

my boiling ears as they’re nearly fried of heart, or perhaps art

attack, no thanks to my wasted choice,

grandiosely and gingerly called deflection, daughter of my time thief, agile beyond

repair, so I need to prepare to face the music – explosive ears’ tellings-off, to be most exact.

 

Getting myself together used to be the ugliest words

my ears have ever heard, but now in desperation, each of them

are in this crazy contest to see which of them is madder at

me. Ouch! The soup I’m in is now far too hot for my liking. So I want out! And

about my novel? Well, how should I say this? Nothing to say yet? Yeah. Just about

right those words are, which is not alright at all.

‘Respect your ruddy overdue process!’ my ears again, sprouting gritted teeth. Bingo! Bitten.

 

My biting ears have just led me to grip

my torn left arm with my breath, so now another body part is mad at me. Well done me!

‘Apology disproven unless you glitter-glue your writing portfolio

right now!] bootlegged arm threatens, tiger-motherly voice nearly jellyfishing

armed legs, so I need to be careful in case unfinished

grounding business makes my feet run off, leaving me with a tailing tail and a

ravenous, con-artistic relationship with confidence – and eventually shelf-esteem.

27 Things I’ve Learnt in 27 Years

-
Three days late but here it is – a list of the 27 things I’ve learnt in 27 years, one I was supposed to write on my birthday on 17 Sep. Better late than never I suppose, so here I am, writing and reflecting. I’m not sure how many of the lessons I’ve learnt are universal or even if they would still apply to me a year or ten later, however change and growth are to be embraced and celebrated, so here goes:   1)     Being flexible and adaptable doesn’t mean you’re being false to yourself. Instead, flexibility and adaptability are qualities that will mentor your evolving self towards greater self-awareness and self-knowledge, opening your eyes to your previously untapped potentials. 2)     Some dreams take longer to come true but that’s OK, or in fact more than – the process is perhaps to be celebrated. As an aspiring novelist and a newbie blogger, I have learnt that writing is not the only act that will get my novel written and that completing blog posts is similarly not the only t

Eleven Things You’d Relate to If You’re Both a Prose and Poetry Writer

-
   Hello everyone! How are you? Thank God it doesn’t rhyme this time around. Phew. My sentences have become too rhyming nowadays, so imagine my relief my friends, imagine my relief indeed! Gosh! All those daft rhythmic rubbish again! What to do? Well, I think writing this listicle’s what to do. As the self-explanatory title suggests, in this post I share eleven things you’d relate to if you’re both a prose and poetry writer like me, or to put it more simply, a confused writer. Nah just kidding. Anyway, let’s dive into that list!   1)     Most of the time, your poetry doesn’t rhyme and your prose does – especially when you don’t want it to. 2)     Your text messages read like song lyrics and although you’re not a songwriter – at least not formally – your song lyrics read like text messages. 3)     Procrastination will often try to charm you into writing a novel when you’re working on your poem and vice versa. 4)     Your poetry has too many plots and your prose none at all.
