For those of you who might be interested, I've got three pieces on display as part of the Libertalia Art Exhibition which opens at the Hive Café from this Friday 13th December. Please drop in and have a look if you're in Blackpool in the coming days.
This is my latest attempt at developing how I write poetry. I hope you'll like it.
Altered States
Love took on many identities
Wore many clothes
Took them off
And watched me stare.
Love walked with me
Chattered and laughed
Revealed its hopeless tragedy.
Love loved me
Brooded and swore
Cursed
Broke
Changed.
And I still looked
For the something
That would make it all stop
Being
Annoying
And able to be
Given up.
I wondered on
Fuller
Better
And worse
Until
I came to the moment
When I recognised
The other one.
Everything settled.
The sun came out
And took the tears.
And I was left
All alone with you.
I didn't think
It would feel
Normal
Just normal
And right
And honest. It did.
Thanks very much for reading, Laura Colville

Laura I think that's a fine poem and as evidence of your developing style I think it shows great promise for where you're headed. By the way, I also enjoyed your pieces on show at the Libertalia exhibition.
Good poem 👍
