On Writing A Complete Load of Rubbish
By kitten_princess

Sometimes it happens, you don't hit the mark, or narrowly miss the mark, you just... fail. Miserably.

Just getting it out of my system! :)

What is this?
I didn't write that.

Some untalented phantom
stole my hand for a moment

wrote me this
garbage.

I take a fistful of this
stained paper
and rip

listen to the calm
destruction

and breathe once more.


Shall I try again?

Very true - a little too true in my case i'm afraid!:grin 
 
I really liked this, simple but very effective. The second stanza especially hit the mark for me. 
 
Best Wishes,

Well we all have moments like that I think! Nice encapsulation of the moment...I wasn't keen on 'calm destruction' - calm didn't fit with the rest of the piece for me. Liked it.
