when dark and light come to bind
heart and soul form a line
dark yet gray
warmth of day
...
I sit and I stare
At this blank paper sheet.
A head full of despair
And a rising of heat.
...
The wind sores
A lovely sound
The ocean roars
My mind is locked
...
*before you read just wanted to say that my friend and i had to use vocab words to make a poem. we passed the paper back and forth and this is what we got...
every one is googling
to find some ratatouille
...
I had an idea
But where could it be
I had it right here
Right in front of me
...
All odds seem to be against me.
All people tell me that this is wrong,
But a thousand fools can think a foolish thought,
And it will still be a foolish thought.
...
I wear a mask.
A mask fashioned of meaningless words.
At times people regard this mask.
They find it amusing or entertaining,
...
*so this is a monologue that I gave in front of my creative writing class. I'm not so sure it constitutes as poetry but I thought I’d just throw it out there anyway.
So listen up. I have a few words to say. Pay attention now. Are you listening? Did you just shake your head in a subtle way? Ha ha. It’s ok. Now I’m not going to sit here and try to sound wise. I’m not saying I’m even true in what I say. But if my words have any effect on you, any at all, well then I guess it was worth saying.
