I've been enjoying trying out some different ways of writing. Flash fiction has always interested me so I've had a go at that. The small word count has been a trial so I'm still working on this piece of writing but I will share it with you as soon as it is finished.
I've also been writing some poetry which I haven't done for a while and I've loved getting back into it. I've written three new poems over the last couple of weeks and I thought I'd use this post to share one of them with you. It's called 'Cry' and I'd love to know your thoughts on it.
Cry
They spy
They lie
They watch people die
Don’t let them see you cry
They openly criticize
They’ve evil in their eyes
We’re the ones they despise
A nation grieves and cries
Here to scrutinise
There to patronise
People to terrorise
Still a nation cries
Listen! Let’s unify
Dare to defy
Make a stand, try
Whatever you do, don’t cry
I hope you enjoyed this poem, feel free to leave any comments, I'd love to hear from you and I look forward to sharing a piece of flash fiction with you on my next post.
Keep writing and keep chasing your dreams!
