My very first freeverse written for the Freeverse competition over on HPFC. I don't know what I was thinking entering a competition with my first try, but I'm actually quite please with this. It was fun to do! My pairing was Daphne/Theo and my prompt was 'mushroom'.
Compared to Astoria
you're about as pretty as
m u s h r o o m
.
She's the gorgeous
sparkling one
and even
-he-
(draco from your year)
has noticed
-her-
(not/you/never/you)
.
sometimes
(just sometimes)
you hate her for it
even if it's
not her fault
she doesn't know
nobody knows
you
hate her
hate y o u r s e l f
.
your world is turning
m u s h r o o m
pale/uninteresting/dull-coloured
but no-one cares
(except him -
he doesn't count though -
does he?)
.
maybemaybemaybe
you are better
than you
t h o u g h t
maybemaybemaybe
someone chooses
y o u y o u y o u
over
her
maybemaybemaybe
you can love her
like you used to
before
boys&love&heartbreak
.
But it's Not(t) the plan
(he's a loner and even if
you're m u s h r o o m
you're still
daphnegreengrass)
but he's
l o v e l y
he likes
y
o
u
.
that's it
you're in
l o v e
you're not
m u s h r o o m
you're his
(beautiful/gorgeous/interesting/unusual)
t o a d s t o o l
he doesn't know you took
(offence)
at this
until you saw
they were
special
