Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #17

Poetry fragments on a vintage-style open book background with a raven and black cat illustration. The left page reads 'On the Margins of the First Draft' and features the website name 'ofstardustandthebeasts.com' in gothic script. The right page contains handwritten reflections about love, poetry, and the soul, with ink splatters across the parchment, creating a raw, emotional, Victorian-inspired aesthetic.

Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft — what the hell is this even and where did it come from. I like the poem itself. I sure did have a theatrical way to convey love... Love is not that bad at all... or sad...

(Authors Note)




17. Realization her love won't die

And so I have been doomed, to walk this earth

Without my love by my side,

Cursed to live

And write letters unheard




Poetry on the Margins #17 Melodramatically laid, on display

About the painting —
I think one tit should show.
And maybe,
a bit
of an ankle?

(referring to the last poem)

A vintage-style open book. The left page reads “On the margins of the First Draft” and features a raven and a cat by a candle and skulls. The right page says “Thank you for finding these words & staying for awhile. Please subscribe to be notified upon new arrivals” in a mix of elegant and handwritten fonts.

There's more of my work:

If you like short stories I have them scooped up into one category (including the six-sentence stories).

Or maybe you prefer poetry,, more personal entries can be found at the Blog.

There's also the IT studies blog in Estonian and "Chaos in Spring" on YouTubeSpotify and other streaming services.

A five minute poem for dVerse #1

Six Sentence Story #1 (Walk-in to the SSC&B)

Ten Thing of Thankful #5 – Another Blog Hop

Ten Thing of Thankful #4 – Another Blog Hop
