Description Stars jingling like church bells
running through withered eardrums
only get tangled in jealousy,
because planets have life.
They have to in order to
harbor profound turtles –
seeing is believing, but looks
can be deceiving.
Consider the angels
that wring the water
from their hair for the flowers
growing in their fields,
angels forced to heave their
sopping-wet heads to and fro
like the tongue of a bell,
church bells,
as I watch fading rainbows
turn to gray, ash and soot.
No matter, I'll drink my sorrows
away with music until I choke
on the lyrics and reveal truth,
because I'm just the girl who
tried to catch the falling stars
jingling their way down to Earth.

Awesome! I do too, though, since it's my major, I kinda have to like it.

Well, not abstract writing, but creative writing with a focus on poetry. I go to the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
