a demi-sonnet set in hunter sq, edinburgh

the first time ever i sawed your wrist
i wished i’d taken more care
‘i won’t take any prisoners’

the first time ever i
the last time ever i
wanted to say
i’m sorry

A demi-sonnet, what a good idea. I used to write pint-sized sonnets, my friends thought I was a bit strange because they were all drinking while I made up rhymes. I would sometimes re-appropriate their napkins when I had an idea screaming for birth. Do both of you live in Scotland now?

congratulations willie! you are the sixth commentator on this post you win........................................................................................................................................................................................... the chance to write you're very own poem. I know! Crazy! Well, it's your lucky day I guess! Here are the words that will make up your poem- all you have to do is assemble them at home and hey pesto! it's your one-of-a-kind poem........................................................................................................................................................ watch out though, your neighbours will be so jealous they may try and steal it. Don't worry though we've also get a personalised retort ready for you. Just say... "Go get your own poem you monster of a mother of a poem-envy monger". Right here goes, here are the words (they can even be supplemented to make your poem even better and adapted to make grammatical sense if such an antiquated notion should be to your taste!):

pint, bean, suck, marsh, scotland, brown, poetry, sofa, space, walking, sleep, disaster, mine, you, love, candle, still, boom, remorse, retort, monster, jail, gaol, dog, fridge, bowl, swim, that, might, be, enough.
