Big Words, Small Words Its Really Up To Her

She wasn't a learned woman per se or so I was told, by the air that surrounded her late in the eve as she talked away; Its as if she plucked it from the time belt of knowledge, Nostradamus style, I would say: Sometimes she addressed Kings & Queens, other times paupers and cats she wrote like she tasted her words, rolled them around on her tongue, but other times she blew them through you like wind, sifting through a kite. Scattered reckless like a hungry seagull, carving a morsel only to die for her trade. She was water going round a solid rock always turning, rearranging herself to please everyone and no one. She suffered no fools except for the man who placed his palms around her, shaping her like a piece of wet clay. Playing nice in a world of pipers and mutes, she was a diamond in the rough; He once told her there was a woman called Helen who made millions, hosting a show on the tele, she didn't even have a high school degree. He knew the scattered wild garden she tilled, yes she was a beautiful mess, one that reminded him of a he, of long ago. She was a woman with big words and small, who wrote for animals, humans, aliens, Neanderthals, scientists, priests, and flowers. She was both the flame and the match, always ready to strike.

I really liked this, especially the end. Would that all writers can 'strive' like this. :)

What a capable write Rose. I had no idea you were such a good storyteller. The match and the flame... This is simply outstanding. Is it based on a real writer? Or fictional?

OMG, Vie, a Fav for many reasons! I love the poem & her! I love your ‘formatting.’ Your portrait is completely painted with obvious descriptive, blended brush strokes AND its pulsating under-painting. Exquisite! You’ve put it as Narrative, tho i’d also call it a perfect example of Prose Poetry. I’m working on a new blog re that & may include this as an example. Bravo!

she wrote like she tasted her words, rolled them around on her tongue, but other times she blew them through you like wind, sifting through a kite--your words bring forth her elegant image for the reader, Vienna. Words weaved splendidly throughout.
