older stuff

so i pulled some of my poems that i wrote last year out of my pocket (literally....not really), and decided to post a few. just for fun =]

this one i wrote purposely in the style of e. e. cummings for a project that i did in English last year, and decided i liked it. [btw- i LOVE e. e. cummings]

The stripes on the burning wall
show pain
s c a tt e r ed
in your (bleedingalive) eyes
Lights burn flashing colors ever-
seeing
(Granted I never knew)
Standing outside always
in the dark I see you
helpless
Thrashing; everyone knows strength
is weakness
and versa vice
But it still hurts lonely nights
dreams
Who's never to blame for such
animosity?
My frozen hand on your burning brow
you roar
I flinch (and vice versa)
Healing rain always comes the
drought falls
in yellow flashes-
for what knowledge can withstand
this
power notwithstanding
Here alone
again it falls
again it flows (peace joy come
now)



i just figured out that this blog won't let people cut and paste stuff from Word so i had to retype that...which wasn't that big of a deal but the other one i was going to post is prettty long so until i get smart and figure out a way to post it i guess that's all for now!

and for some strange reason it won't center the poem. which is half the point of it anyway- about how the poem reads visually and all that. hm.

oh well. i have lots of homework anyway.
