Harvest MoonYou remind me of the harvest moonHarvest Moon2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
tugging the shore from beneath my feet, of
rowing out to sea in winter with empty nets
till spring, of catching every breath
in crystals on the same forgotten docks,
Where gravity knots my tendons into rope,
my teeth into chalk and ash, and my eyes
into searchlights scanning the horizon
for the first ship that leads to you.

For Christine Chubbuck
On a fiery July morning
your eyes opened with intention
to involve innocents
in a cold steel plot
detailed on pages
in the bowels of your briefcase
wishes birthed in solitude—
no light, no hope
Did your hands shake
as you buttoned your blouse?
Did your coffee
go cold in the cup?
Did your eggs
burn in the pan?
Did you think of the children
watching that day,
as the camera's eye
transmitted your pain live in color?
A thirty-eight caliber Smith and Wesson
drawn from a shopping bag full of puppets
One shot
fired behind the right ear
Your head
slammed against the desk
Dead

The Knife's SpeechIn the early eighteen hundreds, a sixteen year old girl decides to leave her hard home life and go out to seek her fortune.

I left the forge in years long gone by,
with blades of great renown and greater strength,
but none of them has done so much as I,
though they may be recalled whilst I am not.
It was with them that men waged cruel war,
displaying awesome power before the world.
I'm agent of small deeds which no one saw,
but which will have effect until Earth's end.
There's little in those youths who name me beautifu
The Ring BearerWinds of Spring creeping into open doorsThe Ring Bearer2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
that shrivel dandelions and tulips
and daffodils into collapsed balloons
on green jail bars ring against each other
in the groomsman's hurried breeze. He runs off
into the sunset through the neighborhood
of simple living and suburb golf carts.
The boy's tie is a broken propeller
flipping and flying—noosed for the gallows—
running through gardens from rings that aren't his.
The bride and groom are left, bewilderment
striking their glory days in estrangement.
Sad Blue EyesWhen I was little, my mom used to carry me everywhere. She would cradle my pudgy pale body and rock me back and forth, watching me as I cuddled close to her warm body. My mom's eyes were big and blue, but were always terribly sad when they saw me. On the days when her eyes would become so glossy raindrops fell off her face, my mom would roll up my dress sleeve to reveal a delicate bangle resting around my wrist. "Your number suits you…sweet like berries…" she would coo in my ear, "Palmer and Rodney don't have numbers as sweet as yours." Her voice would weaken and shake whenever I asked what my number was.Sad Blue Eyes1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This

Why people mix stimulants with depressants
I don't know, but it's appealing
when you pull out your flask
and top off your coffee.
You always said milk was a poor substitute
when you could pour 90 proof
and start your day off
on a foot you forgot you had.
You'd never set foot in a coffeehouse though.
No, those feet were preserved for sticking out windows
while your knees made an easel
on which you'd rest some admixture of hand and canvass.
"Drink and drive," you'd say, "It's okay"
because it made you see the Fall trees
like a cluster of red and purple paintbrushes
pushing up out of a cupped valley.

Rap vs. poetry Most writings about the difference between rapping and poetry are merely an artificial opportunity to note the difference between Snoop Dogg and Edgar Allen Poe or some such mismatching. Of course, we should look at the two art forms with a fair, levelled comparison, or at least objectively.Rap vs. poetry3 years ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
Just as raps have a stereotypical subject matter, poetry could be thought of as being solely about crying, love and over-dramatic metaphor. Let's pluck a poem from the depths of deviantart.com:

where the sky meets earth
her rays stretch out and
caress Your face

Ella es tierra,
Pasan fácilmente sobre sus opiniones, pero siempre está dispuesta a soportar otra vez.
El es viento.
El es libre.
Y se empeña en dar caricias al mundo inerte para hacerle sentir bien.
Ella es dura, puede con todo lo desea.
El es alegre y su sonrisa es un susurro contagioso.
Si escarbas un poco, puedes encontrar,
Los sentimientos de la tierra que escondidos se encuentran.
La tierra ama la noche, la oscuridad quieta, el frío abrigo de la luna,
Las miradas del pasado.
Al viento le gusta gritar, le gusta anunciar,
El amor que siente por la tierra al pasar.

Chapter 2: Creation of America
One day Chuck Norris came into to the bathroom where the turd laid in the toilet. He had eaten some expired sushi and then threw up on the giant turd. It broke off to make America. Canada was a mix of puke and turd because of the French living there. About a million years ago some Italian guy sailed across the imported beer ocean. He was trying to find an epic way to China but found the shit hole America instead. There he sold the native souls for eighty cents apiece to England so he could afford to buy PASTA. When asked about selling the native souls for money he blamed it on the Norwegian or possibly German guy who originally discovered it. Did I forget to mention that the guy was from south Italy?

Just an endless list of choices.
We make mistakes
And hope not to break
As we're surrounded by these voices.
I thought I lived and learned
But know now I'm not finished
There's so much left of me to burn
My heart is just so scared
and I was left so unprepared.
For a love to hate like this,
It's something I should miss.
Yet here I am so strong
At merely holding on.
But, I see now
what takes most my strength
is simply letting go.

Legally changed to: Cricket Macaula – Her friends had always called her Cricket, because she squeaks/chirps for random things; sometimes when she's happy, she'll make a little chirpy noise. She really liked the name, and hated her full one, especially because her parents and teachers insisted on using "Alexandra" instead of Alex, and her parents would yell her entire name when they were angry.

She came to me in a dream.
Her ragdoll body was adorned with buttons, stitches and seams.
Instead of eyes were buttons,
She couldn't talk, she couldn't see,
She was imprisoned by those buttons,
She wished that she was free.
There was nobody quite like her,
she was always quite alone,
She wasn't really human,
No body of flesh or bone.
Bows neatly tied in her woolen hair,
She was quite a sight,
If she was to go outside, she'd cause quite a fright!
Button girl is misunderstood,
She yearns for some friends,
But sadly for this poor ragdoll girl,
Her torment never ends.

Julie was the most homely person in town. The citizens looked at her strangely for her rather unattractive looks, but she was also the sweetest woman who ever lived. She lived on a ranch with her brother and his wife, just a few miles from the town. She ran a little store that sold general goods, plus a floral shop outside. She would feed anyone and anything that walked into her store, and if anyone was broke or broken down, she would help them.
