This time I felt like writing a poem- what an adventure! It is this the kind of lyric I write in German, line breaking, playing around with words – so I hope imploringly I didn´t use any ridiculous or completely wrong phrases – comments and help with the language are welcome, as always! I hope you enjoy my first attempt in poetry here…

We were the black and

the white

the perfect sound of

our love

a warm coat in

this cold world

 

now the

pain rises

inside of me like

water in a swelling river

and silence

has nested in every

room

 

I believed in

you and me and

in the wonderful structure of verse

and chorus

and bridge of our life

 

Now our love

has fallen

silent the rooms

don´t  breath your perfume

anymore

I see my heart

lying in the dust

there is no beat no

music

nothing to hear

no

love

 

 

Genre: poem

words: 95

      • You are right – every week I learn a lot here. And if there is no time to write something else, I always try to write my 100 words story for FF. It´s also a kind of discipline. Reading the other stories brings so much input, week for week I am astonished about the fantastic ideas, so different, but all authors had the same prompt! Meanwhile it´s like meeting friends 🙂

      • Yes! I find that this weekly exercise has helped my overall writing. It is always a good thing, to learn to be briefer, clearer. Reading the others (I generally get thru‘ the first 50 or so, at least), is so fun and interesting! Amazing what different people take, from the very same photo. I love it! 🙂

      • briefer and clearer, that´s it. If there´d be a trash to throw in all the words, which I „cut off“ my stories – it would be more than full after writing the FF story 🙂
