She’s been cast-away with the fairies.
Set adrift with balloons tied to her toes.
A plastered cast of temperance adorns her,
Holding fast the metronome
That beats her heart’s fading castanet.
We watch her from afar,
Curtly flung so high, a helpless, whirl of a girl,
As though no more than a dandelion seed.
An offering to the four winds.
Miscast.
At last.
Lost.
She’s flotsam now.
Bleached, tumbled, and forgotten.
Her eyes are sea glass.
Wings of living gauze lie mouldering and flattened, slick down her back.
She’s waiting for the end of days, to behold the recalcitrant stars again.
To glide along the currents, falling skywards up the slip stream.
Hoping to find some comfort,
A kind sanctuary from the incessant coldness that now pervades.
So slip,
One.
Knit,
One.
Pearl,
One.
Cast off.
Cast Away.
She’s been cast-away with the fairies.
Set adrift.
With balloons tied to her toes.

I do want you to know that I am not one for rushing into the street and firing off whatever weapon is available into the sky over just anything.

I’m pleased to hear it, not purely for the safety of yourself and others either. In all honesty I am if not new to penning, certainly new to sharing, publishing in public and the like, so I take to heart that which is written concerning my poems and other scribblings in both negative form and positive. (Any negative reviews may end up in a flogging on the village green – probably worth noting that down.)
I am in all seriousness highly pleased and potentially flattered that it is favoured. Your own writing is very good too which triples any compliment in worth and makes said potentially flatterery into the real deal. In as much as…I highly appreciate your appreciation of my words. Thank you. 😀

Oh, no, no, the pleasure, it is all mine, I insist it be so, I will hear no argument, not another word.
And
Thank you for the compliment, and, possibly more so, the (what some (foolishly)) would consider to be, what in these parts we call, “Long ass comments”.

I have been, what they once in Ancient Rome I believe called, “Inspired” to create a character appealing to both young and old alike named ‘Captain Longass Comments’ whose adventures upon the high seas and at various exotic ports will thrill audiences everywhere as well as make yours truly a tidy sum.
Wish me luck

Good luck Captain longbum (ass on your planet), stock up on pieces of eight and take up the ancient art of modelling balloons into animals, or short lived sandals. You’ll be a hit in every port!

An excellent additional title for you. I am a fan of long bum comments. They show someone has real interest in the post and if they have some humour hidden in there all the better. Nice to see someone take the time, and I do it too (no! – yes really ), when I find posts that stimulate my imagination. Talk on Captain Longbum Comments. Eat plenty of oranges Captain – stave off the scurry.
