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. :)

The Dream Collector

This is a fan fiction type poem of the original 'The Sound Collector' by Roger McGough.

A stranger came at midnight
Dressed all in black and grey
Put every dream into a bag
And carried them away

The unicorn inside the zoo
The lottery that I won
The meadow that I danced
The bright and shining sun

The starry sea I swam in
The pet lion that I owned
The fame I earned for painting
And all those ice-cream cones

The galaxies I leapt across across
The books that I wrote
The feathered wings upon my back
My rainbow-coloured boat

The one where I was falling
The one where I could fly
The one I was invisible
To all I said goodbye

A stranger came at midnight
He didn't leave his name
Left us only darkness
I'll never sleep again
