Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #20

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.

The final piece of Margins of the First Draft—a strange piece of poetry about inspiration being found in someone elses work.

I’m a little sad that this is the last piece of this section.
Hopefully, I’ll create more in the future as I myself liked making it, I think I have become a better writer all thanks to this section and the six-sentence stories on my blog.

(Authors Note)




20. Nothing

“I will pass, having done nothing at all”

You have inspired the art of other people

And that is tenfold more…

Than having died

Doing nothing”




Poetry on the Margins #20 A little note

Art can definitely change the world into a better place,
softening the harsh, cruel reality that we all tend to experience at one point or another.

And sometimes, you find inspiration in the weirdest of places.
I don't think anyone knows it better than, a writer looking at something or someone they admire.

Perhaps, one day,
I can do that too —
be an inspiration.

PS: throughout this series my old self inspired my new self to write

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.

Perhaps I could invite you to read more of my work:

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

Or perhaps I could interest you in poetry and refections or something more personal like the Blog.

I also happen to own an IT studies blog in Estonian and "Chaos in Spring" can be listened to on YouTubeSpotify and other streaming services.

Six-Sentence Story #20 (Prompt Word: PUZZLE)

Another week has passed again, and it’s time for a new six-sentence story. This week I did something a bit different… Even if, in my case, the first person was solely used because the third person took away from the story, I think it is something a lot of us can...

Six-Sentence Story #18 (Prompt Word: HELP)

Yet another week has passed, and it’s time to share another six-sentence story. However, this week’s prompt word made me derail into a psychologically dark theme. So, a small disclaimer before I let you read: if you are someone who may be triggered by domestic abuse...

Poetry On the margins of the Second Draft #3

The pieces here aren’t really poems—I’m not doing as much poetry or reflection as I am just… writing. The Second Margins were meant to be more of a messy, experimental corner of my blog—something that might ignite my imagination and lead me back to poetry. However, if...
