Alone and Palely Loitering
'She wrote in sterling silver with a ballpoint pen,
A cold blooded chameleon' -Lisa Mitchell, 'Stevie'
My first blog is much more fashion-oriented and I would like to start posting more creative writing and more personal things. This is my writing blog. Hopefully it will soon be filled with my own poems, the poetry of others, quotes and the like, plus a few nice photos too. I don't know what to say about myself but I'm sure you will soon find out about me.
My other blog is fenderbaby.tumblr.com

I had The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath on hold at the library
- But I didn't have time to collect it. So now I have to pay the hold fee and rejoin the waiting list.

Holidays
- I have spent the last two weeks doing very little. I don't even leave the house most days. Except to go for a run. I would prefer to join the gym, which is free at the moment for students, except I am too lazy and, ashamedly, scared to go. It is getting too hot to run outside and the gym is extremely appealing with its air-conditioning. Luckily, air-con has been installed in our new house. Now I have an excuse not to go running and a reason not to bother joining the gym.

- Up above you have been hanged
- Like a ballgown on the power-lines
- Left to dry.
- Tangled folds of bone and skin,
- Limp strands, golden fibres singed to
- Charcoal lattice.
- Your lucid hide painted
- With a merlot glaze and tortured
- By the furnace.
- To match your eyes of frosted glass,
- Clandestine red pen maps within,
- Star-crossed and poisoned;
- X marks the spot.

She never had much to hold on to,
No home,
no family to call her own
and yet she kept all hopes alive.
Dreaming of a future where she would
stumble upon the greatest treasures of all…
Her imagination creating doors for an
optimism that brought her strength
to the highest peak…
as she grew older in a world that
somehow left her all alone…
She was a dreamer with nothing to hold to
but her dreams,
and somehow despite it all,
it seemed like more than enough.
