Some Poems

Here are some half silly poems that I wrote for a creative writing class I took. I'm not much for writing poetry, so there's nothing really deep here. I'm also not much for the bleeding angst teenage poetry, so this is what you get.

Apple:

Green skin stretched across an almost
Perfect sphere.
White spots like
Dried up rain
And an umbilical cord long severed
Inside I know
It’s sweet, but the last thing I want
To do is harm that
Perfect
Outer shell.

Me, Myself and I:

I was out in the woods for a long walk,
I wanted to get some fresh air.
I didn’t expect to meet some new friends
Of which I would soon learn to care.

I met an old man whose name was Myself
Across an old blanket he lay.
He looked up at me and said very clear,
“You’re a handsome young fellow, I say!”

I asked him to join my walk in the woods
And he quickly accepted, he did.
So onward we walked until we both saw
A bench upon which sat a kid.

We walked up to him and both of us said,
“You’re a handsome young fellow, I say!”
he looked at Myself and then up at I
and a smile broke out clear as day.

“My name is Me, and I’m glad we have met,
I was terribly lonely, you see.
There’s not many people that I seem to meet
As handsome as all of us three.”

So off we all went on a walk in the woods
Holding hands and skipping up high
And what a strange sight, it must have been
To see us: Myself, Me and I!

Ode To Albert:

in my head there’s nothing but shelves--
and files and
folders and
such.

with paper strewn about the floor--
of writing of
drawings of
sludge.

and there in the centre sits an old man--
with wrinkles with
glasses with
gray.

he sits in his chair and files all year--
my day dreams my
musings my
thoughts.

without him I wouldn’t be sane--
so crazy so
freaky so
nuts.

so here’s to you Albert old chap!--
my hero my
saviour my
brain.

End of a Summer Day:

Trees with bodies
Cut from black
Construction paper,
Line the summer sky,
Which is fast fading
Into summer night.

Blue rippling clouds
Tinged with green,
Soak up the last
Few rays of day,
Like sponges sitting
In an ocean sky.

haha i wrote apple sitting in the arts lounge staring my granny smith apple because i was so bored.

i dont' usually write poems and the few that i have are either kinda silly or about nature and stuff. if i want to get out angry feelings i have i write a short story usually and incorporate it into that...whenever i tried to write out angry thoughts using poems it always seemed to come off cliched.

the rhyming in the myself and me and i one is kinda wonky at times because we had to make it rhyme so it sounds forced i think a bit at parts. but oh well.

^yeah i know you dont' have to be full of angst to write a poem. i'm not much of an angsty or moody person anyway. i just write what i'm thinking about at the time...hence why some of them are strange.

"Me, Myself, and I" is great. Almost Seussical in rhyme, with a dash of crazy Robert Frost introspection :) Way to go!
