“Virgo, Stay Still”

Hey You, You, You,
You and You
Returning visit from the stars?
Flying free through loose leaves?
Taking leave across the water?
What are you learning for?
Still driving across the land?
Did your hand bite a flame?
Sane wrist pains change your plans?
What kind of love are you moving for?

Virgo! Stay still!
I have some questions for You
And I know you’ll stay still
Because you wanna be real

Did you sculpt a vertical point?
Did you map out a sword?

Did you heal a soul?
Did you make a day?

Did you love all plants, creatures and more?
Do you love yourself just as much?

How about You?

Did you write about the elements?
Did you expand your mind?

Did you charge up a speech and sweep?
Did you help others bloom into a cosmic butterfly?
Just like You?

That’s all for now
Thanks for staying still
I look forward to tomorrow
I’ll be waiting on my hill

Now off you go
Fly!
Say hi to the goat for me
Stay high and hear her wisdom
Before you play with the stars
And brighten my eyes

Virgo, I’m glad you wait and stay still
I love the wisd--

Gone.
Virgo never stays still for long

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
