Jotting Heaven

Been jotting down a few Auto writings, just to keep the juice flowing, why is writing so damn hard yet at the same time sort of rewarding.

Just need to twiddle with you said the eagle to the lamb
and twiddle he did
his twisted talons
knitting up a real treat for the lamb

(Inspired by Charles Dickens's character 'Joe Gargery' in Great Expectations, but I can't think why)

.........Belly up and aching
Mr Cockle rubbed his feet
and sillier uglier nowhere-to-go feet could never be found
But
Mr Cockle rubbed those feet like his very life was gambled upon it
and then he tipped over full of exhaustion, beer and holiness
Poor Mr Cockle the very spirit of life and all its glory positively vaulting over life's upsets like a man intent
but all he had was his feet to care for.

Bloated Christopher came out and went back in again quick
his foray into healthy woods disappointing to say the least
he much preferred surfing
*****************************************************************************

Dip
Dip
Dip
Are you there yet asked the rich old man
as his contorted fingers flicked at the beauty under him
The destitute beauty took herself out of the arena
and lied
***************************************************************************

Silently, behind books and plants
the higher animal works up a bigger more ferocious appetite
as his prey flits like a paper fly around the cooler
making like she doesn't even notice
the cleverness of his jokes
his mouthwatering influence
or
the size of his desk
****************************************************************************

That's enough for now, I'm exhausted.
