Dear Mum I've written up the poshest letter
To make all my troubles better
I'll post it through Mum's bedroom door
So that it ends up on the floor
And then she cannot help but see
This special letter just from ME:

"Mummy, I'll beg you and I'll plead,
I'll even get down on my knees,
And, you see, I HAVE said please
(Oh, please, oh please, oh please, please PLEASE)
Please will you let me have just ONE
(Or maybe two- I AM your son)
Cookies from the cookie jar?
You know I cannot reach that far
To where you put them so high up
In the special biscuit tub
And Mum, you see, it's only fair
If you would take them down and SHARE!

Cardboard Treasure Chest she likes to sit above the world
on thrones of polystyrene foam
in attics full of rot and rust
to search for secrets in the dust

a cobwebbed box waits in the corner
full of riches to adorn her
confusion creates a furrowed frown
worn as a curious royal crown

as she unearths a sheaf of paper
a black gun with an empty chamber
two-and-twenty photographs
a buckle made of polished brass

the photographs tell their own story
dated 'august 1940'
when black and white colours still reigned
though coloured cameras had been made

monochrome smiles and paper umbrellas
elegant coats and polka dot dresses
china teasets and silver spoons

Digital you convert life into binary
nought or one
black or white
and ignore the inbetweens

[so how can you see me?
i think i’m the only decimal number in your life,
the only shade of grey]

when i asked you out that saturday
there was a
very long pause
before you would answer me
i thought i’d said the wrong thing, but then
you gave me
that slow smile
and hugged me so tight it hurt

[butyou had to let go and turn away
and you asked me politely to wait while you
turned off your feelings
before you overheated]

they say you’re weird, a geek, nerd, freak
sitting alone
just staring
at the computer all day
at first i wasDigital by ~listening-to-silence

Deviants, I have a confession. I've been sooo bad with my poor neglected account for the past forever, idk why- have been using a lot more traditional methods and a lot less Intahnetz :]

Anyhow, to try to get myself back into the system, I'm setting up a tumblr account... possibly the easiest thing ever, right? (Oh man, now I'm going to break it...) Anyways, to help get me started and to post your beauuutiful poetry, photos and artworks elsewhere on the big wide web, if you fancy sending me a link to a deviation you wouldn't mind me posting on said tumblr, that'd be so fantastic!

I honestly don't know how I stayed away from dA for so long. I've missed you guys! I've come back and everyone's art has grown so much, my scarily large deviation inbox is so freaking gorgeous! Thanks, you guys, and congrats! <3

The tumblr is [link] byyy the way (:
It's appalling, I know!
Will also be posting an inspiration a day for those with any art blocks.. they could get quite bizarre by about #50 ^^

Yeah, little forums just don't seem to have any place on the interwebs anymore. Everyone just uses like Facebook and such now, and it's impossible to get people to post in a small community. I miss it, but I can't find anything like that anymore.

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a fawn in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

I has a lemon!
