soc_puppet: [Homestuck] God tier "Blood" themed Dreamsheep (Sheep of Blood)
Got a very mild scolding at work, which RSD promptly blew out of proportion 🙄 Managed to work through it by composing a countdown poem about it.


Though it is rarely anything big or important,
just a small misstep here or there,
still I find myself flinching.
I shy away from
these lingering memories,
like open
wounds.


Needs a title still (initial title was "making a small mistake at work"), but it helped me through things, so. Still good. (Cuz goddamn 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. That much from this? Can't we just give it up and heal already?)
soc_puppet: Words "Creative Process" in purple (Creative Process)
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.

Time to try and kill the part of me that cringes, I guess. Or at least do fierce battle with it.

Edit: "Harvest"

Thousands of years of agricultural science yields
a new branch grafted safely on
Our pact with the earth
and with each other
Zested and juiced
I taste
lemon

This is not the pretentious one I was pondering writing, for the record.

Tentatively calling this format "countdown poetry" until I learn it has another name already.
