Air Brakes (Round 5)

Let's workshop this poem about a father's moment of reflection--worried and yet hopeful--on the complexities of parenthood and the passage of time while watching his child board a school bus.

September 30 2026
September Leaves Me Breathing
This month didn’t demand too much.
It let me recover.
I leave it quieter, steadier, still grieving, still writing.
That is enough to move forward.

While I wait for my volunteer readers to go through the first draft of my #horror novel, should I do a #poetry book drop? Like, self-publish my own book of death poems? Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

I’ve started writing poetry again and treated myself to some new lipstick. So naturally I wrote a poem about how wearing a touch of colour lifts my heart a little 🩷 Hope you enjoy my words… #Poem #PoetrySky #ChronicIllness #MentalHealth #Glimmers ✨

Black text on a white background. 

Ritual.

When I glide
Sweet lipstick
Dab—dab—dab
Upon the blueness
Of my lips
A balmy variety
Blushing my smile
To a shade of roses
I think to myself
This is life

True, I avoid
My mirror self
Unwell—unwell—unwell
The green, milky
Pallor of otherness
Only the mascara
The eyeshadows
The rose-blush smile
Draws my gaze
Life is colour

Let me paint myself living.

Ellen Forkin.

Screenshot of the following poem:
ACT NORMAL

Illusions drive my whole career;
recitations earn my cheers.
Though I rehearse each word I say
and dance in patterns everyday,
I've not traversed a stage in years.

The lines I speak are what I wrote
ignoring critics' ill-thought notes.
I craft my parts around the scene,
but they're my thoughts on what I seen,
'cause truth can come from showboats.

Magicians see the cards you're palming.
Actors always know you're acting.
Though their clapping's sometimes softest,
their participation's quite sincerest,
'cause they know you're up there dying.

Still can’t get over this R S Thomas poem. (Don’t think I ever will!)
