A Poem a Day Rip-Offs

'Sitting at a laptop creates an image that I carry back.' (Jay Cool) A neck with a thousand folds. A bump harboured by an anxious nose. A line, puckered into peaks and troughs, of 48 years near gone. A thought. It is not me. Just an image. An image of another me in another time. Not me now. Now, I write myself into being - smoothing out the lines and carrying them over and back.

'Sleepy Sitter' by Jay Cool How 'tis to be - by soft brush swiped with chocolate shades of Christmas; to feel one's cheeks, once so milk-white, wiped out - by melted orange? Copyright owned by Jay Cool, December 2018 Inspired by the poem 'False but Beautiful' by John Rolin Ridge.
