I make this thread in honor of my good friend BadAss. He and I discussed how it would be nice to have more poetry, so he we go. Now we can all sit around drinking coffee and writing poetry.

I'll put a poem later.

Poets come

Wow! Three posts! Sorry I'm not reading that! LOL

Loolooloo,
where are you?
we never missed you, friend
we were glad
to see you sad
and whimpering til' the end.


I'm sorry to say
but you're not okay,
but glad to sing this tune.
Stay off of Sleuth
you nasty youth,
and come back on a blue moon.

Not poetic genius, I know, but it didn't have to be. One of my friends on SOM wrote this to a spammer and fowarded it to me. T'was quite effective. Served it's purpose well, even though I'm not yet sure what that purpose was. ;-)

*sorry, that should be "I'm glad to sing this tune"* That was silly. ;-)

Ummm... Okay. lol

I am in a writing frenzy lately. Inspiration in New Hampshire. :)

The Cafe

At the cafe alone
I watch you walk by
Every day we are here
But I can't catch your eye

I know your kind
You could never be wrong
If only you'd stop
And ask me to tag along.

I don't know where you go
I don't know who you see
But every night I pray
It soon will be me.

And then the next day
Here I am again
You're walking down the street
I stand, and then

Hello, how are you?
I'm here every day.
I was just wondering
Do you think you could stay?

I am currently in the process of applying to a 3 week artsy/creative writing program for this summer. The judges liked my essay and teacher references, so I audition tomorrow. Portfolio review, interrogation, and an on-site writing activity.

Wish me luck!!
