To Be A Fig | #CapturedInWords

Dear Mr Lawrence*,

None a living thing is forever

Better a bursten fig I'd be

And be beheld

In truthful majesty

Than not to flower at all

Each bloom 

Better bold and brighter

Must we be

To seed the next

Nay I won't keep

And neither you would

Nay I won't keep

I won't keep at all

Yours Sincerely,
Sally 

*D.H Lawrence - Figs

#CapturedInWords

I have a terrible habit of never finishing what I set out to write and you know what? That’s fine. For me, writing is a progressive, evolutionary act and so I try to publish in short, first drafts to give myself less of a hard time and the freedom to capture whatever I feel at a given time. 

You can follow along on Instagram with the hashtag. I’d love it if you added your own, too.
