Word Hunt
Ow, my back.
I’m hunched up like a crab,
writing and crowding
my many notepads.
- - - - -
Why sit like a princess
and pick at my words?
When I can scuttle like squirrels
far out in the woods?
- - - - -
Words like to grow
so I get on their level.
- - - - -
They leak into reality
and I chase them;
though,
they often laugh at me.
- - - - -
Words
are like a cloaked old woman.
They’ll only speak
when you lean forward
- - - - -
And
listen.

About the Creator
J. Jay
I like to share my art and writings, whether it's silly or serious. I'll also feature a comic I work on called Writing Whoas, which is about the joys and hardships of being a writer. Stick around to laugh or cry.
Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.

Good one, loved it!
Ooh, that ending, I love it. "Words are like a cloaked old woman. They’ll only speak when you lean forward - - - - - And listen." The number of times I've sat back in my chair and had no ideas, only to lean over my keyboard and type away...TOO ACCURATE.
Hahahahahahahahaha I think this whole thing is about me! I loved it!
