When I Was There A Little Rose Monologue
there is a little rose, silent and bone white living just beyond my reach just alive enough to catch my eye like you used to do when we would go for weeks without eating anything but each other when light itself would follow you around aroused by your scent as eager to join with you as i

now i am thinking of the night you beat me at scrabble with the word cancer and how it was nothing that became something that killed you and how it seems the little rose is reaching out to me the green leaching out of its leaf tips and how the life is leaching out of me as i go weeks now without eating anything like you used to do just before you went silent and bone white

this desert, this life parched yet bleeding rivulets of everything i thought i was my single paged testament with little on it

whenever i see you now, this thirst quenches. but you are not liquid you are emotion the raw deep sustenance i need have always needed.

you are the elixir the sweet smell of rain

just where the tall pines stand, pointing everywhere there lies a slight berm, and then a little pond. in autumn it is amorous with loosestrife and goldenrod, with Queen Anne’s lace growing higher here, more fertile.

and where, if you were asked a question you could answer it, if given a choice, you could make it.

i do not believe in chance. i believe whenever you smile at me you are breathing out all the warmth i need and all the sensuousness, like this place, supple in your mouth. and where, in the cool drizzle of June at the dusk of day, you kiss me

just the thought of it breaks my will.

misery in the nameless city

i am standing there, at the corner of Common and who knows what out of place out of time out of any kind of comfort zone drifting as if buoyant on a sea of desperation as the people, by the dozens, the

    Here, also, were trailing clematis, dropping jasmine, and some rare sweet flowers called butterfly lilies, because their fragile petals resemble butterflies ’wings. But the roses they were loveliest of all. Never have I found in the green houses of the North such heart-satisfying roses as the climbing roses of my southern home. They used to hang in long festoons from our porch, filling the whole air with their fragrance, untainted by any earthy smell; and in the early morning, washed in the dew, they felt so soft, so pure, I could not help wondering if they did not resemble the asphodels of God’s…

    On a humid July morning, John was gazing at the vast rolling mountain, filled with luscious greenery, when he noticed a sharp needle like object poking out of the green stem. John’s curiosity led him to the plant, but when he went to admire the growth, he realized that this was not a beautiful reminder of Rosemary. This was as sad and sharp reminder of his shattered heart.…

    In My Pretty Rose Tree different manifestations of love are shown as individual plants are personified. The repetition of ‘flower’ instead of the word ‘rose’ in the first stanza acts as a symbol to represent love and experiences and because of the use of a general term instead of the specific rose it can be perceived as the flower depicting love that’s being given to another woman. The speaker is presented with a flower ‘as may never bore’ yet returns it in loyalty, to the rose tree, then looks to ‘tend to her by day and by night’ nevertheless the rose ‘turn[s] away with jealousy’ portraying love with the imagery of experience as the expectations of light romance come forth. For his affection he is returned with ‘thorns’ suggesting the speaker may be willing to pay the price for a continued relationship as the thorns represent the protection he may hold over her from other lovers and therefore he is ‘delighted’ and reckons them as a symbol of love. In addition to this the speaker may find he is compelled to be in delight with the rose despite its thorns, as he has rejected the flower and the pain of the thorns may be infinitely preferable to his fear of the unknown, just as Adam and Eve with the fruit of knowledge, the flower takes the place of the fruit which offers experience yet comes with tempting propositions.…

    Lady Of Letters Monologue

    The recreation of Irene Ruddock’s character in Lady of Letters relies hugely on maintaining the quality of her idiosyncratic ways. Her prejudices and her naivety amongst other things are all relevant traits, and in my recreative piece I found that keeping with Bennett’s structure, form and use of language ensured that Miss Ruddock’s character remained unhampered with.…

    A World Without Color Silhouetted against the darkening forest, she twirled and danced with the birds, letting all emotion escape her as she pirouetted along the edge of the river. The water raged along the rocky banks, setting a beat for her steps as her bouncy curls brushed her shoulders again and again. A stunning white bird glistened in the sun, chirping a song as it hopped onto an Evergreen tree. The bird reminded her of her mother; sweet and optimistic. Lily halted to a stop when she caught her father, Caden, watching her, grief and pity filling his eyes.…

The pages of my journals Are sticky, matted with scarlet bled out from the words that hurt too much to write. I want to go back to when this ink was black when your voice was weaved into my mind with baby’s breath flowers and wet grass not poetry.…

    — Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and imagine another time, another world You knew love, once. But where once was love, now remains longing. The sky showed first signs of winter when they found you: a helpless girl, lost in a world that had not at all been introduced to her properly. The soot from the night prior and the snow from the early morning clung to your hair and skin, just as you had once fastened yourself to your parents’ side. Those who found you knew you as much as you had known yourself.…

    I enter through the creaky gate of the decaying garden; walking through the yard; her pulchritudinous roses, withered away with each step I took. Peregrinating to the door the wood rotting at the edges termites conversing, as if we were at a party, I refused to touch the repulsing door but in consideration for my mothers salubriousness. However the home didn't have the smell of death or decay, it smelt of warm cinnamon bread toasting in the oven. Warm Cinnamon bread the most delectable treat mama ever made for me; I couldn’t resist to take a…

    I gaze out the droplet covered window at the bright line across the glistening blue water. All the stars are hiding timid behind the livid clouds. The moon peeks out, illuminating the river and casting an alluring reflection. The car makes loud ghastly sounds while speeding over the bridge. I look across to the bright jagged line, wishing that I could be over there. It represented freedom, independence, happiness; everything I didn’t have since we moved to this shabby town. Where was this bright line that brought be bliss? Why, it was New York City.…
