Shelley on sabbatical
Current mood: tempestuous

It's that time of year again. Time to take a break from my computer, and allow my spirit room to grow.

I will miss you all. My friends here in Myspace are all so dear to me. But I will be back before you know it.

See ya in a couple weeks--

Shelley

Bluejean Baby:Triptych Echo
Current mood: moody
Category: Writing and Poetry

Bluejean Baby is a character I started writing about a very long time ago. I don't know why she chose to visit me now, but this is the first time I've created an image of her.

Her eyes to big, her mouth too small…

I don't even know where to look for the old poems about her. I'm pretty sure I don't want to find them.

…burned silly by half-moon hearts…

I can hear her bootheels on the pavement now. They've been following me all these years.

Luna de la Fresa (Strawberry Moon)
Current mood: empty
Category: empty Writing and Poetry

Luna de la Fresa

Mi boca

siente vacía

debajo de este

Luna de la Fresa.

Venido lléneme de

sus palabras dulces y

jugosas.

Strawberry Moon

My mouth

feels empty

under this

Strawberry Moon.

Come fill me with

your sweet, juicy words.

I am the Thunderbird (poem)
Category: Writing and Poetry

I am the Thunderbird,
a giant,
riding in
on a cloud
hidden by mist.
 
The flap of my
Wings is Thunder.
The blink of my
Eye is Lightning,
 
Creating the axis
between Heaven
and Earth.
