Welcome to the first ever #PoeticalCondition Monthly Member Feature!

Our first Member of the Month is:
~photosynthetichuman :iconphotosynthetichuman:
"Name’s Izzy, easy to pronounce. An aspiring screenwriter who partakes in poetry every once in a while trying to learn how to write by writing. Fond of old movies and staring out to sea. Currently residing at the end of world, also known as Chile."

Congratulations on the nomination, Izzy!

3 of their favorite works are:
glowafteronce there was a girl
who would eat the sun
on a frozen beach
i'd watch carefully

never told me why
cause i never asked

sunrise and sunset
she would stare and stare
grow she would nourished
by cosmic cycles

she then glanced at me
her secret smile

when she grew too much
and flew into space
one with the fire
at home, burning core

leaving me behind
a small speck of sand
covered by silent snow
drowned by the still sea

on a clod of dirt
wandering the void

staring, staring at the stars
scapecityhow burghal,
to be citified
a civic civil
in the
interurban
intraurban
behold
megalopolitan man
drowning
in his municipal
upbreakunbelieving big lemonade eyes
salt stream tainting your choco latte

my facade rolling in fumes
fiddling pieces of nickel and copper

walking away, cold in a winter coat
there is no last goodbye kiss for us

only soft whimpers and pleas
i lost in the dull people noise

still i tell others what i did to you
was comfortably mutual and agreed upon


3 of our favorite works written by them are:
upsmokewhen thinking of you
i like a smoke or six

drive a poisonstick
deep into my lungs

rot might reach my brain
erase our wheezing laughs

nights of nicotine haze
smog mixing with sweat

you're fumes of a cig
wispy, wonderful whirls
absorbed into corners
never to be seen again

smelling of burnt skin
i'm pulled from nostalgia
and light another match
portraitselfborn of thunderclaps and rocket-smashes
clattering, cracking for air in black smoke

mechanical gears frozen mid-routine
ridiculed the ghost who lost his tombstone

hankering for a home that never was
offbeat and lost in a land of oddballs

searching for holes in gates guarding the door
singing strange songs for fabricated friends

fail and fall, disenchant the floor people
stranded roadkill in turnpike rush hour

with twisted fates and destiny condemned
easy fun playing the cop on cocaine

each passing day thinking it's happier
never noticing how more empty fills

run for judgments, opinions, decisions
sold them all for free, those f
worldunderlet me fall

free into an abyss
consuming a shadow
of a just gravity
to be an abyss myself

let me fall

as a tree without sound
a tv without crowds
since victims without screams
must be the monsters instead

let me fall

diving and lessening
falling off my decline
forget the fallen
for we will erase you

I should also mention I'm overly content with how the poems were ordered, to quote Goldilocks, "just right".
