fragile words
scrawled on a scrap of paper
and forgotten
pressed between the pages of a book
like the delicate blossom
forget-me-not
slips to the floor
Hello, redthewitch, tis the Piggster. I don't really know how I can give this piece words, because the only thing I come away with STRONGLY is emotion. I feel sort of used-up and worn out after reading your words. Then if that's the case, your writing has impacted me indeed. Best luck in the future.
hmm. few words but it was interesting. remember when my sister used to keep flowers in a book. wrote little quotes around it explaning the meaning and purpose of it. your words reminded me of that. curious, forget-me-not? words written inside the book or something else. it was interesting. only that part confused me a bit. lovely.
I think this little snippet has much potential i think. It could be about so much. The piece of paper, what was written on it? Could be an old love letter stuffed in the book and forgotten and just ages there. Like the flower? I can't wait to hear more on this piece if you choose to expand it.
Curious thing about stuffing flowers in books. I did that once to save the flower thing a chick gives a guy for homecoming. You look at the flower before you put it there, it's all beautiful and smells good. Very fresh. You want to preserve it. Stick it in the book. Years later you decide to take up reading again and open the book. Flower falls to the floor. You see that the flower is still there, but it's all dried out and fragile. It is old. Suppose some people keep those things to remind them of something, but its so it the past. Memories are like semi-beautiful, dried out old flowers. ~Aaron
