I wrote my first poem ever
 
Why Did God Make Me a Lizard (tentative title)

There's a lizard on the ledge
of a window on the second floor of the house.
It's raining outside,
but next to the house he keeps dry.
He looks inside the window and sees a young boy
eating ice cream and watching television.
It's the Weather Channel, the meteorologist says it's raining out.
The lizard leaps from the ledge in a successful attempt at suicide.

that shit didn't rhyme, bitch.

10-02-2002 05:23 PM

that was awesome!

I'm not gay.
But I dance around in a gay, gay way.

If I gave that to my english teacher and told her it was a long lost Robert Frost poem, she would discuss it for an hour, finding the obviously "intentional" beauty in every letter of the poem.

yeah, overall, poetry makes me sick. It's a bunch of worthless lame crap that should never be acknowledged. that's why I took a stab at it.

By Garrett, me:

Thrown together, flowers mourn.
He died today, Fathers scorn,
Netphoria killed the cat
I will I had him back.

For Macroeconomics.. one of our requirements was to write a letter of any topic to any public official. I wrote one to the Superintendent of schools. We had to mail one letter and give the other to the professor. My professor suggested I send mine to the editor of the newspaper. Well, I did and my letter was published today. I don't know why I'm posting this here. I guess I'm just proud of it. But anyway. :

no, that's just stupid.

i liked his piece of writing. regardless if he thinks art is worthless, he created something halfway decent.

Yeah, and actually, if you showed that to me, I'd say, "Robert Frost didn't write that. Sit the fuck back down."

So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be.
It's when I'm weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping
From a twig's having lashed across it open.
I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.

So over hyped. His poetry is pure shit. I was reading a collection of his the other night with this girl that I know, and it nearly ruined my night. Fuck her college class, and fuck Frost. He's a fuck.

I thought of a poem on the way to school today while I was half asleep. I thought it was funny

'I hate myself'

I hate myself and I want to die
I hate myself and I want to die
I hope I choke. I hope I fry.
I hate myself and I want to die

I hate the world, it's a fucking bitch
I hate the world, it's a fucking bitch
I'm a fucking cyst, so I'll slit my wrists
I hate the world, it's a fucking bitch

Down the road, not across the street
Down the road, not across the street
All that blood, all over my feet
Down the road, not across the street

I shouldn't have done that
I feel really bad
Fuck you mom
Fuck you dad

*guitar solo*

AHHHHHHHH!

*continue guitar solo*

I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to die
I hate myself, I want to.....DIE!
