I am not who I am
Hubris…
how abhorred am I
that bulls
surround me
all my bones
lay scattered—
a chaotic abacus
What is it
I hold?
— hubris?
this stunted form
my crippled spirit
forest creatures
stray
Read the rest of the poem Show less
far from me
wolves
bark
at my shadow
What is it I own?
—hubris ?
alone
By whose
name do I go?
Richard
Spindle-shanks
David
Hobble-foot?
Which of these am I
how are monsters named?
—hubris?
‘Rumpelstiltskin is my name…’

About Me
About me
I'm a honours student at University of Wollongong in Creative Writing. My core creative writing subject is poetry.
I'm always happy for work-shopping and receiving feedback and criticism, you can't improve until you know what's wrong or not working.
Because of uni I will usually be less active on this site, so if you would like some additional critique or opinion on a piece you can email it to me directly and I'll get back to you a.s.a.p!
Regards,
Michelle
