surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.

Author's Note: What do you do when a friend and one of your favorite Vocal creators suggests you use your weird Facebook cover photo as inspiration for a poem? Personally, I do as I'm told. Thank you, Cathy Holmes, for the marvelous suggestion and I can only hope I've done justice to the idea. (I'm not sure how my mind went on the journey it did, but here's where we ended up!)

Serendipity
FADE IN: INT. BEDROOM - DUSK As dusk falls and I acquiesce to the arms of rest, my closing gesture is to call forth your memory. Yet, with each remembrance, your colours fade, your brilliance vanes, as if I am merely visiting the preceding night's echo, not the true memory I once held.

The Forgotten Melody
In the bustling city of New York, amidst the sea of people and towering skyscrapers, lived a man named Nathan. Nathan was an ordinary individual with an ordinary job and an ordinary life, but he had an extraordinary problem - he was plagued by a melody that would randomly surface in his mind. It was a beautiful tune, both haunting and enchanting, yet he could never remember where he heard it from.
