Magpie Tales #89 - Picture Prompt

Windowless
Like my mind
Walls stained with the blood of
Anger and
Broken dreams
Like my heart
A desk marked with curled
Blank slates
And one
Twisted
Noose of
Confusion
But the typewriter
Shines
As if new
Dustless
Unloved
Mein Kampf
Perfect
Hosted by Willow
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Ooh. A surprising, nasty turn at the end there. My Magpie this week is Poet.
What an ending...great poem
Great battle with words as the typewriter awaits the judgement!! Flawless!!
'Windowless
Like my mind'
What despair in these two lines. A remarkable piece of writing, Gemma.
oh nice...very clever on the ending...nicely done gemma...
The third stanza is incredibly fine - and fits right in with the remainder - also incredibly fine!
Incredible, dark, and just so well written. The end, stuns.
