Sample Poems from Otherwise Forgotten: Poems

 

 

I Am Not 

 

I am, but
I am not
in your view

I am not
visible outside
the lines
you have
an identity 

for me
to occupy
I am not there

I am not

 

Over My Shoulder

 

Over my shoulder

   behind

   my memories

 

a light shone

brightly

in the corner

   of my eye –

 

the possibilities

of a moment

   in my mind

 

Silenced

 

My writing looks

uneven, uncertain

    shy

 

my brain seems

motionless

cannot seek

    doesn’t find

 

my mouth is

free to open

but doesn’t

it won’t

    like in a dream

 

I struggle to speak

to scream, but

even if I could

what would be

    the point?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anne and Wentworth: A Persuasion Prequel Variation (2020) by Samantha Lord

Jane Austen fans will enjoy this enchanting prequel to the classic novel, Persuasion. In Anne and Wentworth: A Persuasion Prequel Variation, Samantha Lord brings Jane Austen’s enchanting story of Persuasion back to the beginning, when Anne and Wentworth first meet and fall in love. What if events had unfolded differently, and a new understanding of life, and death, made Anne more difficult to persuade?
