RIDING HOOD
What am I
Seeking
In you
Dear Wolf?
Not your tail
Not your teeth
Honey
I want red
For my whites
Stripes on beasts
I need flesh
On my skin
Pregnancy
A full bag
Of cries
Words
Sure
I won’t queue
Wisely on line
As a matter of fuck
I’ll give love poetry
Take it or leave!
Emmanuelle RABU / Full time dreamer (poems, short novels, visual arts), I was born in TOURS (France) in 1965 and started to immerse myself into creative work two years ago. Some of my texts and paintings are published in French literary reviews (online and paper) such as Festival Permanent des Mots, Lichen, Méninges, Agneau Éditeur. Much more on Emmanuelle Rabu can be found via the Festival Permanent des Mots by clicking here… and a short summery of her work via Penestin here…
Dear Emmanuelle…great verse…i have the same modus operandi, writing poetry in one’s second language, presuming that your mother tongue is french, mine is frisian…
Thank you, Bert ! Yes, you are right. What a challenge to me to write in English ! A way to explore questions that are always in my mind : how to say things deep inside with a restricted glossary ? How to allow myself ? I take the risk of poetry and you do as well… where can I read you ?
