Lit Fest Inspiration 101

Apr 13

By Michelle Bentley

Lit fest 2013
Inspired me to write a few lines. 

We listen we take it in
The words wrestling within
Twisting and turning having tantrums 

Hearing what we want to hear
Dismissing what we do not
We listen as the words are released
In a single breath

We inhale hoping the words
Will consume us like a disease
We want to be infected
 To have it oozing from our pores 

An adolescent zit
Begging to be popped
Released into the world infecting others

Until there are no more words
We dare not say

The Bloggers

This blog is co-created by past and present members of the Ohio University Southern Literature Club; past and present editors of Envoi, our campus literary magazine; and other OUS students who enjoy reading and writing. It is a space for us to informally report on all things literary and to share creative writing efforts. Stay awhile, and feel free to comment and join in the conversation.
