Stories / Stories / Jenna Rebecca Brager / Text 4 of 5 / Anybody´s in the Corner

"Anybody´s in the Corner" by Jenna Rebecca Brager

SF&F Picture 4 out of 5 by Jenna Rebecca Brager

For this poem, I used some basic ideas from Lewis Carroll, such as the white rabbit, and used them in an original poem

Nobody sits in a corner

back and forth

she rocks to the

rhythm of a grandfather clock

that goes tick tock

inside her mind

with pigs that fly

on tarnished silver

wings riding electric

shock treatment currents

White rabbits

with pocket watches

that boom like grandfather clocks

shot down by

faceless carpenters with syringes that hide away in playing card towers.

II.

Somebody in her corner rocking, icechipbluetopaz

innocent eyes wide

staring blankly,

Cheshire grin forever

pasted on face that

shows a life wasted

in reality, what might

have been spent in

the never ending rabbit hole,

back and forth she rocks,

tumbling down and down.

8 Dec 2002	Squishycow	Loading... Again, interesting. How do you do this? Jenna Rebecca Brager replies: "With snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. . .Mwahahaha, i eat you juicy little boy! Interesting or good?"
11 Dec 2002	Siren	Loading... Meep. Poetry. Poetry that sounds good without rhyming! YAY! My poetry (whether it rhymes or not) reeks with um...bad-ness. Yes. That sounds about right. I should stop talking in fragments. Jenna Rebecca Brager replies: "Thank you. I really don't know about your stuff because YOU WON'T LET ME READ IT! meanie butt."
29 Dec 2002	Dan	Loading... I like it.... Then again, i like any glimpse delving deeply into the souls of the deranged. Is that a bad sign when the torment and torture of others minds fascinates u? Jenna Rebecca Brager replies: "I am NOT tormented or tortured, you poo of a goth, stop trying to sound all dark and cool, won't even let me dye your hair black."
6 Jan 2003	Amy	Loading... Ok i love the poem. But i've always wanted to interpret a poem and then have the author interpret it the way it was meant to be so i know how accurate i was...And with this poem, i got the idea that you imply that it's better to live in your imagination than in reality. And then again, no imagination is a bad thing as well...Maybe i'm just stupid (which you can tell me if i am)and i got that completely wrong. But if that is what you meant, i'm not sure that i agree with you. So what did you mean when you wrote this? Jenna Rebecca Brager replies: "Ok, whatever you just said was really confusing, I think you got most of it, I'm not really sure what I meant, I like other people to find meaning, i just write what comes out, and hope it's not caca, my horny toad friend."
10 Jan 2003	Rhiannon Dariyan Daymond-King	Loading... 'A life wasted on reality'... oh so true... I really love this!!!! I generally go for rhyming stuff, (it's easier to learn!) I generally write rhyming stuff myself - but lately I have written a couple of poems in this non-rhyming slightly fragmentary style which seemed to be OK (not that I'm going to put them online...) But the meanings of rhyming are sometimes corrupted by a search to find words that fit rather than the words that you really mean. so I really sympathise with this... yeah (Read the poem http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/r/d/rdariyand2/balchothfirimar.html.html, this is a tiny bit like!) Jenna Rebecca Brager replies: "I be glad you like, I will read your poem and leave a McComment."
13 Jan 2006	Wonderland Traveller	Loading... Seriously hun, U r amazin! luv ya xXx
