Second post.

Hello again.
I'm still learning, its only been 10 minutes or so.

What I'm intending to do with this blog is to treat it like an open diary, a space to write short stories, poems and small pieces and share ideas for larger things. I have no idea whether it will work but I'm giving it all a try.

Lately I've been writing a lot of poetry. I'm in year 12 at the moment so my life is very full and busy and I don't get a lot of time to write. Thats why I find poetry to be a great outlet. Its quick and it gets down the words that whirring around in my head. I'm on holidays right now and its left me some free time to catch up on all the things I've been meaning to get going with, such as this blog. I have no idea how to have people read this or whatever but I'll keep learning.

I suppose I should post a poem to get things started:

THE LIBRARY:

Filled with the annals of thousands
Hundreds of thousands of pages
millions
filled with stories, facts, fictions,
Fables, poems, memoirs, memories,
Words
Kept staked together
Side by side
But so unalike
As each cover
Stores something unique
And even when they are same
No two books are really the same
No two books have felt the same hands
Grasp their pages
At the same time
Dog ears
Coffee stains
Bunged covers
And then the silence
Set aside the tap tap tap of keyboards
And the murmer of questions
Its the silence
These books, so full of words and so full
Of silence

Its our two love here in one room
The books
The quiet
The words
The wordless
Books filled with stories
Screaming them in absolute silence
I almost want the librarian to Shush them all
Silence them
And then I remember
It is silent
It sates you though
It calms you
Cools you
And to see you content
Contents me
So even with
The songs the books sing
to see you calm cool and content,
It sates me.
