Breaking up with Poetry!
one
How 'bout a kiss my sweetest -
dearest!
Draw in all close-like - now!
For -
When I open my little mouth,
I know you want to punch it!
Aroo! Aroo!
You dirty little skank!
two
A metaphor for a snowy day:
The snow falls down in heaps and bales,
And through it you must tread.
Sometimes you’d like to all your life,
But most of the time not.
three
When your sister walks by
I look
isn’t that enough
baby?
four
Would that we could hold onto gold,
Would that we could pray,*
Would that we could keep it that way,
Would that the flame would last.#
* the “meaning it” kind of praying.
# you see why it's over, right? I mean, this poem blows.
five
Star Blar Ting Tang,
Rang Tang girl Blang!
Bloog Blog Black Blug,
I think we should see other people.
six
Never say I've wasted your time,
I’m sure you’ve learned a touch -
As far as all I didn’t do,
I’d do the same again.
seven
THAT’S ADORABLE – YOU
THOUGHT WE HAD A CHANCE!
WHAT, FOREVER?
eight
All forgotten for
Recollecting Just
a Paltry One – All
forsaken for
Just a stranger’s - new
accompanying -
And I’m afraid
that Stranger isn’t You.
What? You
don’t like Emily Dickinson
- you Sexist?
nine
When I open my little email box
It’s not my fault if my
little heart bumps a beat
to see her name
- It is?
Well how do you
think I feel -
She hasn’t written back
in a while.
ten
What can I say when
I see you cry?
what more than
tissues can I give?
You might be sure
you hate me now,
But then I myself
am rather sure
You'll find cause to hate
again.
eleven
Your face is so pretty
I’m sure you’ll love again!
They’ll be buying you beers at bars!
And laughing at all your jokes!
Why didn’t I say anything about your legs,
you ask? No, I just thought that your best...
Oh screw it -
Your face is all you got.

why breaking up with poetry? haven't been here for a while, but it still is nice reading around here...
Your free verse shows immaturity, your organization is haphazard.
You might do better with prose.
Don't pretend what you are not.
