Lisa Lopresti
I am an English West Country poet, in the ship shape and Bristol Fashion city, who when not working is taking iPhone photos on walks with my Patterjack terrier, Rosie. Often times caught making home made elderflower champagne or scribbling poetry to languish in kitchen draws. Until that is I joined Tumblr. I am very pleased to meet you all. How do you do.

Mary, a small sleek sail boat,
of curved classic slats
Sits as a queen
amongst plastic pretenders.

Am I human
or just a facsimile,
member of this tribe
or its enemy?
Am I special
or just another limb
on a fallen tree that we
will never see again?
Am I a good man,
or the opposite,
negative or
positive?
Am I responsible
for the system
we currently live in,
needing to be forgiven,
or a victim
whose only mission
is survival?
Am I full of purpose
trying to be of service
or just worthless
pursuing my undoing
by ungluing myself
from the fate of others?
Am I dead or alive?

We want to Believe
Lies slip by,
Under watercolour -
Palatable pallet.

Embrace
End of the romance,
From those you loved,
Is difficult to face.
Now instead of them being your world,
The world is yours to embrace.

The weight of rain drops make us look down at reflections, the images seem strange, but they are exactly right. They will evaporate with the sun and so will the melancholy, there are no shadows when the sun is overhead.

And I wondered what it was like to be chosen.
I was never chosen.
I was a maybe, a probably, sometimes even a definitely but never the one,
never the chosen one.

WAITING FOR RELEASE
Twilight on its way,
Outline revealed,
Sun slanted silhouettes,
Forlorn for the storm,
That covered their stories,
But did not release them.
