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

A girl whom I've not spoken to
or shared coffee with for several years
writes of an old scar.
My wife has scars like spread raindrops
on knees and ankles,
she talks of broken greenhouse panes
and yet, apart from imagining red feet,
(a nymph out of Chagall)
I bring little to that scene.
We remember the time around scars,
they freeze irrelevant emotions
and divide us from present friends.
I remember this girl's face,
the widening rise of surprise.
And would she
moving with lover or husband
conceal or flaunt it,
or keep it at her wrist
a mysterious watch.
And this scar I then remember
is a medallion of no emotion.
I would meet you now
and I would wish this scar
to have been given with
all the love
that never occurred between us.

Thank you guys. :)
I think it went well, but I was shaky and stuttered. The interviewer even asked me to email her more of my work!

K, so the sad news is, I didn't make it. Dunno why. I lost myself in half a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and kinda made the hurt go away. Sigh. I can elaborate later, but my Pops is sleepin, so I must be SSSSSH!!

You're probably just too good for them. :)
Are you familiar with Ben & Jerry? They've gotten me through every one of my breakups.

Thank you. :) Actually, I'm easily satisfied. Generic Kroger brand is good for me.
Actually, I consider myself an enterprisnig young female chap, so today when I was writing a poem instead of learning, I somehow started thinking of the millions of Twilight shirts I see everyday. (high school; ugh) Then I thought, "Why not make money off my poetry by puting it on tee shirts?" And thus the idea for "poetry tees" was born.
Bonne idee, non?

Hahaha, I love it. Just be careful where you put the lettering. ;)
For girl shirts at least...
