Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #6

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.

This piece from Margins of the First Draft makes me think I wrote better poetry in my teens than I write now.

(Authors Note)




6. a Prayer was chanted

Here I lay

In the darkness of my room

Praying to all the Gods that I know

That someday,

Somewhere,

Someway

We can meet each other

And have conversations drunken on wine




Poetry on the Margins #6 If There’s a Next Life

If this one is not enough...
I hope to share one another in a way
that goes beyond great sex.
It feels more
intimate.

But...

I do hope we would have a lot of
drunken nights on wine and walking hand in hand on a dark avenue.
And when I get tired, I'd just plop my head down on your shoulder, and then
you'd smile and stroke my hair or kiss my forehead.
And I would feel so warm and safe and cozy... and yet —

If I licked you,
would you be mine?

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.

OLN #410 (dVerse poetry-hop)

I had trouble coming up with a poem for this week's dVerse Poets Open Link Night, so naturally I blamed the muse for the lack of ideas rather than the fact that I stayed up half the night and expected to write something coherent the next morning while running on three...

Six-Sentence Story #23 (Prompt Word: DUST)

This week I wrote two stories for the Six Sentence Story blog hop: one for the SSC&B collaborative world and this one here because I enjoy writing the mini stories with the restraint of six-sentences. It's cool and sometimes a bit... challenging. The host of the...

A five minute poem for dVerse #1

This poem was written in five minutes because of the prompt on the dVerse Poets site, Get Out Your Crayons and Come Color with Me!. Unusual as usually one poem takes me at least a week to write/edit but the description for white gave me an idea... Thank you!...

Ten Thing of Thankful #7 – Another Blog Hop

Time for a new Ten Thing of Thankful post. As tomorrow I am going to my boyfriend's friend's graduation in Viljandi, I am posting a day earlier than usual. This week was cool because I finally went out of my apartment, lol. I have been cooped up in here like a proper...

OLN #409 (dVerse poetry-hop)

My third entry to the dVerse Open Link Night for poetry. This piece is perhaps one of the most experimental, visceral, and metaphorically exaggerated poems I've written in a long time. Anyway, as this is a blog hop, I cannot let you begin reading without mentioning...

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

For this week's six sentence story, I was honored to be invited to participate in the world of Six Sentence Café & Bistro with my own character. Honestly, such things make me a little nervous, as I have never participated in any type of collaborative writing...

Ten Thing of Thankful #5 – Another Blog Hop

It was quite difficult for me to find anything interesting to write about for this week as it has been very quiet all of a sudden... I am used to drowning under my responsibilities and I just took time off or something. This week's Ten Thing of Thankful felt a bit...
