More poems? Egad!
Okay, here is one of the poems that I turned in. I don't think it's great, I think it could be "okay" if I worked on it some more. A lot more. I guess I think it has potential, haha, but I think right now this is like a C poem, myself. I'm not stressing about it too much because I have no intention of ever becoming a poet in this current life. Anyway, a small part of me enjoys some of it, so I'm just going to share anyway.
Choosing a friend
Floor to ceiling books
The antidote to loneliness
My dusty musty friends
Always shouting for attention
You’d think they were the silent type
But no
They clamor for my notice
Pick me! Pick me!
My ears ache reading the titles.
Nancy babbles of clues
found in an old clock
behind the pavilion
And the Bobsey’s
cold from sledding
ask to drink hot cocoa
With Heidi in the Alps
On the top shelf
Behind the gold leaf
Katharina loudly debates mustard and beef
With the Phoenix
While the Turtle sits quietly
And waits for later years
My hand reaches out
The chorus grows louder
My fingers rest on Grimm
The originals
A tragic bloody ending
My favorite friend of all.
