Scribbles of a Mad Heart by ~EilDard:iconEilDard:



I wait, hoping for hope, as I always do.
Waiting each time and every time.
Even as the pattern gets monotonous,
I know I would have it no other way.

If I rush, it goes wrong faster,
this much is clear.
Yet do I take my time, it seems
I merely get closer to my goal,
before I lose it anyway.

Oh shush!
Whining, wailing!
Never do any good.

World moves on, and so must I.

Flicking through a notebook I carry in my pocket, I found this. I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking when I wrote it, though several things do spring to mind. It does give me strangest of sensations when I read it though. I'm not sure it really classes as poetry, but I feel it has some kind of flow and sonority to it, so I've given it minimal editing, largely typographical in nature, and posted it here.

Let me know what you think

I wish I were a glow worm,
A glow worm is never glum,
Because how could you be unhappy
When the sun shines out your bum?

Well, thank you. :)

I love it. The flow of it is wonderful and the style for the wording is great. Kudos. :)
:iconeildard:
Thanks. :)

I wasn't sure about parts of the wording, but I didn't want to play with it too much just yet.

"I know I would have it no other way", so no advanced critique for you!

(Definitely poetry!)

I'd fave it right away, but I'm featuring a great poem/song by *DaveJeanes called Maybe Not. I'm no guitarist but I'd say he has an interesting technique...in general, that is...I haven't heard this one.

But yeah, nice one! Something's bugging me..."Yet do I take my time..." "...do..."? Is that East Anglian?

Hmm, I'll have to check out his sound then, since I *am* a guitarist, and am always interested in new ideas and styles! :D

Thanks, I really wasn't sure about this one. :)

Er, no, it's not really anything, I just like to add in word here and there, or substitute words, that make my work sound "nearly wrong". I don't know why, it just creates an effect that I really like. You reckon it take a toll here?

Ah, ignore my stupidity there, thinking that you were referring to somebody both within and without the scope of DA, as far as my own hearing is concerned... I agree on the song though, it is... wow!

It's like an axis around which the whole revolves. You must not change it! I just wondered whether it had "non-standard" meaning...a hint of will and a touch of though.

:iconeildard:
Well, thank you muchly then! I shall unthink my absent changes, and redo their unhappening!
