Stomach ache
#1
Sloping down, drooping low, showing a calm trepidation.
Circling round, where to go? 
Running on pure sensation.
A green hex possessing the wet streets.
Shambling around woefully.

Dislocated from.
Acheing inside.
Swirling around in a cacophany of dashing lights and voices.
Breathing in and out and in and out again.
Stewing in his choices.

Each head bobbing up and down in the light rain.
The traffic lights changing from red to green.
Every star in the sky playing in dissonant harmony.

Sweat tearing out of every pore.
Cold numbness dangling down from his fingertips.
Running in a low pace; ice cold under the heavy rain.

Shallow breath.
Collapsing to the ground.
Blurring vision.
World drowned away in sound.
Looming shadows surround him.
Street lights spill out in radiant puddles.
But all it was was a stomach ache.

How long have you been writing poetry? And what do you get out of, what is the experience, for you reading and writing it?

For me, there's a whole atmosphere, an overworked vibe encroaching down.

Do you write out of a freedom of a moment, or do you have a drive with a method or a mythos attached?

I have been doing poetry for most of my life but started more recently in the last couple years because I have a lot of free time to do it.
I write poetry to capture a feeling or sensation I'm having the best I can, especially the obscure ones that are hard to explain.
I like to create environments for these feelings I have to live in.
The way you say "encroaching down" is the way I like to deliver my poetry, somewhat eerie but entrancing.
Also, I like to see what people like you think of it.

I like to know at least something about the person I'm reading. And the more you interact and have these conversations, the more likely people will comment and discuss with you.
I'm looking for themes in your poems. Are you aware of any themes that always trigger writing out of you?

If you are offering writing prompts that you may have on mind I would appreciate any suggestions you have.  Smile

I like to create apocolyptic environments often, or internal dialogues of an alianated person or idea.
Creating fanciful creatures is also something I like to do, giving them personalities that the reader can relate to.
I try to encapsulate anything visceral or intangible that progresses along climaxing spectacularly later.

Currently I am still trying to discover my writing style though, so I am uncertain where I want to take my literary expertise.

I do nothing but improvise.
Poems come, because, why not?

Are you interested in apocalyptic scenarios, for real, or is it a fantasy thing?

Yes, I am interested in that kind of stuff, but mostly poetry is just a fun way to put your feelings to paper. 
There is much creative freedome in it, as I am sure you know.

I have fun doing it sometimes.
Sometimes I feel like shit.

I wake up with scribbled lines that my mind wrote while I was bombed.
Good stuff, though.
I never seem to fail. On paper.

Poetry is constant revisation for me. I'm sure it's like that for a lot of people though. Your work can never be too refined you know.
