Chocolate Linoleum

Simply folding paperclips,
Swinging hips slide fully westward,
Ankles move and glide to notions,
stiffen joints and lock in bone,
Powerpoint anoints fact and figures,
Open Office jezebel.

First time at the blog, gave this a try. I wonder why themes of office work and sexuality seemed to come through. I don’t even WORK in an office!

Hi Reg, I’m well – just having a wee bit of an overstressed-withdraw-from-the-world period! Hopefully I’ll be back tweaking brains as soon as mine is tuned up again.

3 am, still surfing, reading
till 6am I shoulda been dreaming
hungry again, haven’t beeen eating
just filling my brain with instant feeding,
Physics, Sports, enviroment and math
I stumble across your poetry4 the mind path
And pause to catch my breathe and laugh
For all the sites I just flew past
FAcebook, Hotmail, not once did I slow
to park my sweet ass and take in the whole show
I didn’t bother to write onedamn email or post
Talking to them last night should alow me to coast
But my brains getting tired,, morning is close
and my rhymes are starting to stretch,my metaphores smell like burnt toast.
So I bid you adeu(scrape my toast add some jam)
And begin to surf out of here like a gangster on the Lam.

Thank you, emf: )

I was worried no one would play along. This sort of thing is perfect for indulging addictions. I think we should all give ourselves permission for “bad poetry” – and remember that it doesn’t always turn out bad!

A thousand tiny tragedies
One horrendous cacophony.
Meeting in the strangest places
Strange looks on stranger faces.
Faces that know no grief
Faces that need relief
Leaves that fall upon the ground
Buildings become lifeless mounds
Rising up to meet the sky
We rebuild and live to try.

It is really really bad, but I just read a short story about 9/11 that keeps creeping into my thoughts…
I always tell my students, start somewhere, just try, anything you write is better than nothing…
I am also shamelessly addicted to rhyming.
