Your own work.. (1 Viewer)

[Benny_]

Anyone keen on posting some of the stuff you've written? I haven't ever really taken to writing as a hobby, especially since uni started, but in year 11 I had a corny short story written in my local newspaper short story competition.. but I missed out on a prize I'm thinking about writing again during the mid year break though. What about you guys?

I started writing poetry this year as part of my Ext 2 english major work and i've since become quite addicted to writing. I'm happy to post my work if other people are happy to read it.

This probably belongs in the poetry section, but what the hell...


Somnambulance

Look upon the mirrored landscape.
In shallow puddles -
Ephemeral moons

Have not forgotten how to smile.
But there can be no mirth in lamenting
The day you turned in your wings
For a diamond encrusted dream.

See how the stars await the return
Of your nocturnal gaze;
Keeping their ancient places
Until the sun appears

And they become a memory
Like a folded photograph
That can never be perfect again.

And it is your presence that lurks
Behind the gilded bars
While your estranged faces
Miss the many-splendoured thing.

It's quite rough around the edges, didn't get enough time to tidy it a lot. It's not fiction though... is this thread only for fiction?

Fellow journos are very welcome of course Ash.

I do Creative Writing at university so I'm always writing random shit for class and stuff...
This was my favourite poem that I wrote for my latest assignment... constructive criticism v. welcome.

self portrait
gobble down black jellybeans and
swish swish my mermaid hair.
I’d gamble everything for a bit more sleep
and don’t care that my sunburn
is peeling like the paint on my walls.
I catch the flakes, and imagine the hand
that stuck them there
they might be dead now,
or maybe just sleeping.

stamp stamp
my feet in little girl shoes
but never in puddles.
keep fish scales in my pocket,
maybe I’ll trade them for some
common cents

I make paper birds and watch them
drown in the bath,
remember being dumped at the beach
water-filled lungs drowning me and
the sand that scraped my skin tender

photos lie about who I am
I know ’cause that reflection
isn’t me
I’m that fickle girl who kisses too many boys
and never takes her pills
but the girl in the picture
gives a distorted smile
like she doesn’t mind that I spilt
my juice on her.

hey Jo, love that poem...

I'm a creative writing student too, so posting some stuff online would be awesome. I'm mainly prose though, so this is probably not the best place. Most of mine is 2000 minimum.

What's the word limit for BOS?

 

[MissSquiggly]

Argh. Although I like writing, I'm not particularly good at it! ^^"
I reckon the best one I've ever written was during a conversation with a friend...
And little snags here and there when I previously decorate my art book with some text HAHAHAHA

 

[eastpak]

Well, I have written few short stories (about 20 pages), too long to post here. Genres mostly action, pulp fiction style

I'm so jealous of you people who get to do creative writing at uni. My girlfriend does Communications (Writing & Cultural Studies/Law at UTS and she's had an absolute ball with her subjects so far because of how fun they are. She wrote this amazingly funny story for her subject that she was one of the 3 in her class to get but she won't let me post it
