Fixating on Fiction
By mark p

Fixated on fiction, my favoured writing choice,
eclecticly reading when finding my voice.
Stealing ideas, phrases, expressions,
stylisticly shifting in discursive sessions.
Spectacular vernacular, dialect intact,
Slurring and blurring, of fiction and fact.
Genres and tropes, the meta the better,
horror/sci-fi/rom-com, read to the letter.
Cyberpunk, and hyper drunk
on words like Dylan Thomas,
I often wonder if what I've learned
will yet fulfill its promise.

Phrases and expressions
I love a bit of rhyme and this is great. Clever, intertwined stuff!
I too steal phrases and expressions from books (and films and music) and store them all away in a safe place in my head but I can never find them again when I need them. If only I owned a pencil and a piece of paper!
