Your closed burn
TW (figurative mentions of scars, burns, and probably more????)
Ohhh chicken, where ist thou butt?
(Not sure what the above means??? I wrote it to get started and that's what got me to write so I left it for you to be as confused as me 💀😎😭)
Bright smile and laugh
Smooth hair and heart
Warm eyes and thoughts
Witty feet and tongue
Why do I still remember you so
I tried so hard to forget, my obsession
I thought they were gone
A deep abyss to swallow them all
But it spit them back out,
I guess it doesn't taste good?
Now their back soggy and old
But still bright as 24 carat gold
These heavy thoughts used to blind my thoughts
But now I can drive, I know the rules
I can see 20/20, hindsight I guess
I can see what is shown but now what is hidden
Who's shadows are covering it?
Yours or mine?
Probably mine, my shadows seem to consume all
Emotions, thoughts, will, and all
Now you're red, your chosen style?
I can only watch, far or near
but never with
For with is dangerous,
Last time I tried to get friends your fires burned bright
Beautiful but scorching
It took forever to feel normal, in heart or mind,
Like a tree struck by lightning, it's always scared
My bark grew back, but if you know how to look...
I don't know what to write,
About me or about you,
Are you even real, anymore
Just a hollow sculpture I made while trying to heal my burns?
The ones you made?
Why do I still long for fire, in forge or heart!
It always always burns to bright,
blisters form and scars turn white
Please ohh friends,
Please ohh preacher,
Please ohh singer,
Please ohh father,
Please tell me
How do you heal a fully close wound?
@7Bear7 thats really good :0 although i looked everywhere for a hint on how the chicken led to this masterpeice, i think im going to be left wondering for the rest of my life 🫢 great poem and very....strong start 😁
@unassumingEyes
Honestly not a clue, maybe I just needed to start writing?
But seriously have you ever tried to figure where a chicken's butt is, like is it what they sit on or where their tail feathers come from?! Or the whole section connected the two??
I have seen and even held chickens in real life and still don't know!!! 😭😭
But yeah I think I just needed something elegant sounding to start writing
@7Bear7 ive never wondered about the poor chickens butts!
Maybe in looking for the chickens butt, we can unveil more amazing poems....🤔🤔
@7Bear7 There’s so much quiet desperation in those last words… May the wound that hurt you most close in peace and leave no scar behind, Bear <3
@azurePond
Thanks Puddles, 🩵

Heads up, (not sure if it effects how it's read) the last line was supposed to be "how do you heal a fully closed wound" but auto correct is a nightmare for poetry, so it changed it to close which works, but is slightly different.
Better or worse that's your opinion not mine
But please help me bury this stupid auto correct dime
