from cadbury with love

my purple paper and silver foil
untouched.

you will unwrap me

for the sweetness, the
comfort
I offer

my smoothness
irresistible.

january
a tiresome month
vainly boasts of new beginnings

but confident I wait.

I am here.
your constitution
is always to fall,

so why should I fear
resolutions
never kept before?

Ali's in as well!

Can you guess her emotion?

writing the emotions - depression

Andrew is playing too!

This is fun.  You should join in.

writing the emotions

I cut your phone line.
now a sniper, I lie and wait

for she who dares approach
your gate.

[Can you guess which one?]

grief

the back of each page is blank.
the second half of every thought
a withering trail
that stabs.

a sigh.

a dimension is missing.
my laugh is hollow,
the stars are just a stain upon the sky

for you are gone.

A new project

Just a little one.

Join me if you like.

Each day or two I'm going to spend a short amount of time (say 15-20 minutes) thinking about a particular emotion and trying to capture one facet of it in 50 words or less.

Here's a list of emotions I've come up with.

• depression
• anger
• sadness
• grief
• joy
• happiness
• excitement
• fear
• love
• obsession
• jealousy (thanks Tim)
• despair
• contempt/disdain (al, anika)
  
• temptation
• hollowness (tim)
  
• contentment (chris)
  
• guilt
  

Have I left any out?

Pick one, if you like, and have a go.

It doesn't have to be a masterpiece.  Post it on your blog or in my comments.
