This week will see us reach 1,000 posts on the Dead Good Blog. In celebration of that fact, the current bloggers will be creating found poetry using snippets from our favorite past posts.
It goes without saying that I am just as proud of this blog today as I was in June 2011 when the first post went live. Since then, we have seen an abundant variety of inspiring and surprising posts on poetry, for the most part, and writing in general. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has ever written, or commented, for us and express my desire that the blog should stretch on for another 1,000 posts as it continues to engage readers and writers across the world.
Here is my found poem. If you click on any line you will find yourself transported to a piece of imaginative blogging. Enjoy!
One Thousand
Something to a few,a woman whose life was a mess before the bitterness do I starve this year?
Come hold me now
come see the sun
come stand with me lay down the tracks
From a wild sky painted furious crumpled metal objects the brass blasts of the Salvation band hear the horses coming closer, see the gallons of blood twisting grey tunnels, stale urine light and a voice like dandelion seeds that warns of gaps
This is the light to live in
Thinking I could bring him to life with nothing more than hope and the power of my own mind religion and fecking psychics they weren’t my first choice
not my intention
You will be leftwearing pants being trodden underfoot
Rabbit holes lead to burrows
and gardens aren’t a secret
The place we lay when no more days to give it won’t be sad.
