FRANKENSTEIN'S APPRENTICE

The process of revision

Lives created between blue spaces...

copulation of mind and pen

now crumpled inside a wooden coffin, 

once their birthplace, 

to be discarded into a graveyard of lost notions

Red lines strike through black lines

executing their existence, 

or maybe just killing them briefly

so they might simply be born again; ah, yes, born again

I sift through graves to revive bodies I deem fit

as to give them life once more

and allow them to live among pages of immortality

Your usage of language here is beyond striking.. "i sift through graves reviving bodies i deem fit." That line gave me pause and the subject of the piece really hits you there... any writer can and will relate to this, wonderful piece!

I truly appreciate your time and wonderful comment. Thank you.

It was a pleasure.

An intriguing take on the "Frankenstein phenomena mould as a writer's pursuit or being" I love the lines within the lines of rebirth, I guess literally rebirth. Anyway Wonder piece.

Thank you so much. This was a prompt piece, which I hardly ever do, and it was really fun to create. Thanks again for your wonderful comment.

Honestly, the title had put me off-- but you are so right! We poets --and other hack writers--create and then often kill off our dear little monsters--and then bring them back to life! Kudos, and congrats on winning Lyn's contest

So glad you were able to get past the title to give the content a try. So many times I've began a piece, scratched through or thrown away only to retrieve some of those thoughts, piecing them together to create my version of a perfect piece. Thank you again for your time and thoughts😊
