A Double Etheree Poem

Real photos taken from my step-dad’s past used on the cover of my mum’s book (2013)
Seeds
of words
germinate;
sentences form
characters are born
life given in fiction
creation grows in chapters
steadily expanding the plot
paragraph by paragraph each day
until the author is left depleted

Scanning the cover she opened her book
inhaled the smell of her printed words
greeted once more by old friends past
who came to life in her hand
they hadn't aged at all
now forever joined
bound together
by her words
once just
seeds




This poem I decided to write on National Poetry Day but didn’t want to publish until I had read it to my mum and be given her permission.  I have done this today so now dedicate this poem to my mum, pen name Pamela Darling. My thoughts on how I watched and supported as she wrote, lived with her characters and got her book published. I don't think I am up to writing a book (although I would love to) but this is the way I write to say how proud I am of her. One Hidden Truth was written as a gift for my step-dad - a possible version of his past that they tried to piece together in research, but obviously resulted in a work of fiction. He is sadly passed now, but lives on ......

My husband says I am a nightmare, actually, a ”complex nightmare”, said with love and understanding of course! In truth the phrase probably does sum me up which is why I will use it. Explanation:- • Complex due to my thoughts being varied, deep and even conflicting • Nightmare due to their constant, numerous and consuming nature. I am an emotional writer, finding writing a medium with which to express myself; I find this difficult verbally and am averse to any conflict. I am creative and artistic at work and hobbies; (working in jewellery) but only have enthusiasm for “bespoke” creations. I find it difficult to label a theme to my writing but recently am enjoying learning and experimenting with different forms of poetry. A few very difficult years emotionally have drawn me to this genre. Somehow, I am finding more clarity in my thoughts by using words that are not always so clear, or even placed in a structure that take me out of my comfort zone.... hmmm work that one out LOL. I am excited to see what I write, as it is a total surprise to me every time; but draws me.... My life experiences are such that I have a personal view on most subjects and if you follow me you may find my topics to be what my daughter would call “random”. Even when my focus is dark, I am actually a positive person by nature and have found strength to get through many obstacles in life - even if some "down" times are more lengthy than others ; maybe it is in my DNA - my blood group is B+ (be positive)! If you have read this, welcome to a bit of my world ....
