scribbles in the sky // a pwyw/free poetry shop
Hi! I’m Audriella, and I like writing poetry and Kingdom of Knuffel, and thus food.
As such, I am going to offer to write poetry for whatever you’d like to offer. :D Food? Items? Materials?
Nothing??? It’s all good.
I just ask that you go out of your way to make a conversation post somewhere, anywhere here at KoFK.
Here’s stuff to know:
in general
rhyming > not rhyming
short/medium > long
not great at iambic anything.
Examples:

”Long Live the Queen”
No kingdom runs without its queen;
Not this one, with its surly king.
She is the sun, the stars and moon—
She is beauty in radiant bloom.
Her hair is blue, eyes steady, wise;
Love and kindness without disguise.
A gift from her is treasured, close—
Given to those who engage the most.
Elfin ears and clever mind,
Observe her and you’ll surely find
Grace in power, a fair hand—
She is beloved across the land.

”A Kinder Kingdom”
Hello, hello, how do you do?
This Knuffel Kingdom’s been waiting for you.
We’re small and close but our hearts have space,
So come on in; it’s a welcoming place.
Knuffels are kind, friendly, fun.
They love food, to play, and sun.
The Kingdom is filled with warmth and cheer—
Come enter, now, you’ll love it here.
Recreate yourself, escape your life.
A moment’s peace, no stress nor strife.
Play with knuffels, try a game—
Catch a fairy; with luck, not aim.
Hugs and fairies, treasure, too.
All that’s missing is surely you.
Friendship found, memories made—
Dive on in; no need to wait.

”The Luckiest of Everywhere”
you’ve lived a life of highs and lows.
you’re stronger than you’ll ever know.
i hope one day, you’ll look and see
a world filled by possibility.
when you’re afraid or hurt or scared,
know for you, i’ll be there.
you are my darling precious one.
you shine as brilliant as the sun.
you can relax, you need the rest.
i’m sending love and all the best.
i wish you well and fortune fair—
may you be the luckiest of everywhere.

”imaginary thoughts”
when i’m dreaming an imaginary thought,
i do exactly whatever i want.
count the clouds in the sky, surrounded by blue,
stroll through a tranquil garden, blooming only for you.
your gravity has me dangling upside-down:
heart in my throat, eyes turned around.
i don't know your name, but i do adore you;
in my dreams, you feel the same, too.
don't stop. keep on dreaming,
this is how perfect we could be.
don't stop. keep on dreaming,
this is the best picture that you'll see.
don't stop. look around you,
it's the most wonderful place of all.
don't stop. don't look down,
imagine how far we would fall.
feels like my pulse is racing, and you've just entered the room.
feels like my stomach’s churning with butterflies all too soon.
my heart belongs to you, now don't turn it into dust.
i wish you could only see the possibility of us.
in my imagination, we meet under the stars.
in my not-so-perfect daydreams, we kiss in darkened bars.
in my secret journal, i scrawl combinations of our names.
because i still don't know yours, they're never quite the same.
don't stop. keep on dreaming,
let your imagination free.
don't stop. keep on dreaming,
this is really all we need.
don't stop. look around you,
it's the most wonderful place of all.
don't stop. don't look down,
imagine how far we would fall.
if you exit the ballroom, will i fall out of love with you?
i watch you ‘til you’re leaving to see if my hypothesis is true.
To order, post in this thread. Because these are potentially free, there are no guarantees I’ll be able to deliver in a timely manner. (Inspiration sometimes just...takes a while.) I will PM the poem, and you can send any payment after.
There is no set form, but be aware I may ask questions to clarify what you want.
