Post your favorite poem (by yourself or others)
A buddy of mine apparently just dug up our old creative writing publication from HS and found some cheesy poem I had in there. Anyway I wrote this one in college, loosely based on my ex, and was fairly proud of it at the time. Kind of hard to read now, but still fun. Also I have to put in Code format because the shape matters. But that kind of gives it away, which makes it a little cheesy. It's only cool if you figure the shape out on your own, if then. But whatever. FYI - If I was reading it aloud I would go slow, with a lot of pauses.
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> M . If beauty is not path nor infinite source, nor a deliberate striptease of the the layers of purpose, then she is beautiful. In gilded awkwardness an insolent grace whorls and pre- cipitates as a halting, flinching thrust and parry into the wrought black hull of inflection. Inflection which neither grazes nor punctures. Of a tongue, mordant and dry, but for the rare streams of spittle which slip under the inner fences of precursor and pratter. Like a bitter line stitching the raw fabric of a romantic comedy, the lent ear of hope- fulness on a necklace with eleven others. On a flat snare her intention bleats rhythms of scintilla and flare--an ugly, suffering boom resonates the marrow. But her nuzzle is golden her touch sublime. Any hollow pretense, filled in with a baleful glare. In perfect measure the beaming strength and corrosive salt tears. A tender throbbing clutch, and a shot of quavering lust. If the whole is not perfection, then she is perfect. </pre><hr /> |
