Hi, I'm Lizzie, I'm 23 and I love to write- stories, poems, blogs, anything really- and this is a blog to document all of that, so I hope you enjoy reading some of my favourite pieces. The stories are in parts so you can follow your favourite story as it progresses- they all have specific labels at the bottom so if you click it, it'll take to all the passages from that story- and I promise to try and write the next parts regularly. :)

A Dream of a Dance

An Ash Dickinson inspired poem, check him out, he's a great rapper/poet! 

The girl liked space- it's infiniteness
The way it transported dreams
She liked the way it waited for her
As she fell asleep

She took the left hand of Saturn
He placed his other on her waist
He twirled her round and round and round
Past the orchestra of stars

And Neptune smiled as he took hold of
The blanket of midnight
He wrapped it around the young girl's figure
And she gasped at the beautiful gown

Venus braided her hair
Entwined it with the stars
Merged all the gorgeous colours
And it flowed down her back

Earth took care of the music
Its satellites became speakers
They decided on some classical
And Earth didn't disappoint

The patter of rain: percussion
The bird songs were the flutes
The cheers of a football stadium
Were amplified and became trumpets; TOOT!

Jupiter was charge of lighting 
Politely asked the sun to dim down
Moved a magenta galaxy in front of the stars
Making the atmosphere romantic and quite pretty really...

And in joined the Aurora Borealis 
Shone waves of colours across space
Illuminating the black sky
Glowing the young girl's face

She smiled and laughed
At the ballroom around her
The planet, Saturn, before her
And reality below her

Then down trickled a tear
As the young girl sighed
Swallowed a little
But still cried

But Saturn held her closer
And whispered soothingly
We'll always be here for you
And you've always got me
