Write a short poem that describes you or something about you. |
|
Mine:
I'm the one with crazy hair If you see me don't be scared A hat will cover soon my head And will remain until I'm dead.
Yours?

My real name is James S And if I had to guess What others might think of me? I say let them think,whatever they wish whatever that opinion might be. For those who care, and always are there Know that I am real and true. To others I am who they think I am, and this is what I do.
(Hey I pulled it out of my ass) LOL :rofl:

The poetry’s inside me
It’s out of reach
It’s like a brick well Where I cannot see the bottom
I feel the words faintly stirring there
In the watery blackness
How do I reach them?
Other poets will show me the way...
Their ideas will fill my well
I will metamorphose
Them into being mine
Perhaps one day
I will know how.

Redneck mama, Choctaw gal, Cast-iron skillets, no T-Fal, Grass too high and truck unwashed, Lost at love, must be star-crossed.

Born in the Fall Grew to 6 feet tall Fine for a boy But did not bring a girl joy
Now I don't care Cuz it's good for a scare But tho I try to be defiant I'm really just a gentle giant.

10. I wrote this in 1996, but it still holds true: |
|
One O'clock
How can it be? The day's but half over. Looking around, I've nothing to do but practice my acting skills, as I sit and try to perfect the delicate art of making it look like I'm working hard. The clock on the wall shows how little time has fled since I've started.

13. Discovery: It's hard to write a poem about you when your head is full of emo lyrics. |

(^^^that was a title.)
I'm sitting here, put pen to paper the first time in months, words work wrapping themselves around white pages Nothing seems relevent for a topic:
I got a haircut, it's not new. I might have a roommate, but not if I can't find a new job. I might have a girlfriend but I'm not sure I want her, she scares me. You can't fuck up like I fuck up a lot and keep someone interested unless she's crazy.

17. Here is one from a few months ago. |
|
By the feeble lamp that sloshes dishwater gray light into the murky room, I am handstitching something. I spool out every memory of a kiss, and all the lusts with their worn out faces, and the shape of all the fingers that have traced me on a mattress. I make bad seams. It is already rent. I keep my needle busy. I touch. I was touched. Make me warm. When I'm done I shake off the loose threads. All I have when I'm done, a waxy brown butcher's paper around a small wooden bird.
