    The Bangor University Writers’ Guild is a society dedicated to inspiring Bangor’s writing talent through activities, workshops, and peer feedback. Collected here are several poetic works that members have chosen to share with the world.

    Royal by Dylan Finnan

    Royal-rented tone dances

    to the song of B flat

    sustained across silk-sewn ridges

    to rest on the tip of taste,

    and coat the air

    with confectioned dust

    as the crown settles,

    not on head

    but texture.

    The cold-paned petal lifts

    to reveal the residue

    of freshly laid sheets

    left upon your lips

    as the word itself pops twice.

     

    Fearless by Bindu Peterhansl

    Sometimes I close my eyes

    And I can feel my heart pounding

    My ribs a humble drum

    To the quick paced cadence of my

    Self

    A memoir to the wild

    To the hoofed ones who’s feet drill into the earth

    In grounded flight as they speed across landscapes untouched

    Leaving in their wake those soft Indentations in the earth

    Signatures of Journey

    I see them in my mind’s eye as I sit in stillness

    and know

    That I am never still

    That this throbbing in my chest is the reminded that keeps me

    With them

    Running

    Towards the unknown

    -Fearless-

     

    Unnamed by M-A

    Acceptance is a choice

    And one that I intend to make

    For my brothers and my sisters

    For everything alive

    The path I choose defines me

    In a way in which I’m proud

    As I for stand with with those

    Whose plight needs our help

     

    I choose to accept your race

    I choose to accept your religion

    I choose to accept your patriotism

    I choose to accept your genders

    I choose to accept our choice

    I choose a world of love

    I choose a world of peace

     

    This is the world I wish for but it has yet pass

    So I choose to fight those plights,

    Of race, of gender, of religion, of love, equal rights, of ending war, of safe food and water, of victims and survivors, of the disabled, of the overlooked, of the disadvantaged and of the poor

     

    For until their plights are resolved, they shall be mine too, and I think that they should become the plights of us all.

     

    Thoughts by Bindu Peterhansl

    There they are.

    At my heels

    (I hear them).

    Lurking at the edges of street lights.

    Damp

    (I smell them),

    The scent of decay

    The drip drip of soggy fur

    Trailing tepid pavement waters.

    My mother told me not to feed them

    -Leave the strays alone-

    She said

    -If you feed them they will follow you.-

    -Worse-

    She said

    -If you name them

    They become yours

    And will always be a part of you

    nipping at your heals till the end of time-

    At least they are loyal though,

    The scavengers with saliva on their jaws,

    madness in their eyes.

    Mans best friend.

    At least they stay with you,

    lapping up your own madness,

    wet slobbery meat stink kisses to put you to bed

    at night

    when no one else will.

    Because humans don’t really understand loyalty.

    Because those nights spent hugging yourself to sleep aren’t enough.

    Because even breath that smells of blood and death is warm on your neck

    And any company is better than none.
