Still good. (Cuz <i>goddamn</i> does emotional disregulation make thinking about small mistakes feel like accidentally poking an infected hangnail or getting lemon juice on a papercut. Like, are you serious. <i>That much</i> from <i>this</i>? Can't we just give it up and heal already?)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=soc_puppet&ditemid=940020" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-03:248846:939637 2025-05-06T06:25:21Z 2025-05-07T17:09:07Z pensive public 10 I kinda wanna write some poetry, specifically in a format that starts with seven words and goes for seven lines, losing one word with each line. (Is that an officially named/acknowledged format somewhere? If so, what's it called?) But then I started overthinking things and now I feel pretentious while pondering, so.<br /><br />Time to try and kill the part of me that cringes, I guess. Or at least do fierce battle with it.<br /><br /><b>Edit:</b> "Harvest"<br /><br />Thousands of years of agricultural science yields<br />a new branch grafted safely on<br />Our pact with the earth<br />and with each other<br />Zested and juiced<br />I taste<br />lemon<br /><br /><s>This is <i>not</i> the pretentious one I was pondering writing, for the record.</s><br /><br />Tentatively calling this format "countdown poetry" until I learn it has another name already.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=soc_puppet&ditemid=939637" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
