My Honest Poem (Poem by Marysa Writes)

Image
By
I. I am five-foot-nothing. I like watermelon and obsessively watching slam poems. I am not dead, but I often dream. II. I think I am sick. III. I only take care of myself when I know I’ll have to be seen. I put my hair up to trick myself into thinking it is not greasy and wear baggy clothes to trick myself into thinking I’m still eating (normally). IV. I start things and never finish them. I write three lines Then quit I tell friends plans Then quit I read a page Then quit I open my eyes Then quit II. I think I am sick. V. I love too hard. I hand over my heart on a silver platter, giving the treatment of royalty because everyone should feel on top of the social hierarchy sometimes. I give more than what is earned, deserved, but always seem to get hurt. VI. I love poetry. V. It’ll be a miracle if I finish this one. VI. I write to help because II. I think I am sick. VII. I consider music my refuge. I let the words carry me along while I try to VI. create images from the emotions. IV. I struggle with motivation, which leads to unfinished thoughts, words, poems, … IV. I steal my motivation from the way people, things, make me experience a ride through the stages and claim it to be original. I. I am five-foot-nothing and my eyes are sometimes so blue, you’d think I stole the sky so you could get stuck in the clouds. Other times, the green dances in the ocean pools, giving you a place to swim to. I like getting you lost in my eyes. II. I think I am sick. III. I only take care of myself for you. I wear my hair down for you to run your fingers through and wear fitted clothes so you can see what belongs to you. IV. You make me want to finish VI. poems V. declaring how hard I fell for you. VII. You make me want to create songs from your laugh and sing to form a harmony. II. I think I am sick. V. I fell for you so fast, the concussion made my head spin and the butterflies dance to the drum of my heartbeat. II. I think I am sick. V. I think I love you.

    This is beautiful. I love how it kept on returning to the lines "I think I am sick". it gave it an almost chant-like feel.
    The description of your eyes are beautiful and I love how you pointed out all your faults.

      I picture it being hard. Saying stuff about you that isn't perfect is difficult. A very relatable poem.

      Thank you
      Sometimes I can write a little long, not often though. And definitely not as detailed as yours.

      You did awesome! I'm just the weird freak of nature who has to make everything pretty. But, yours has it's own beauty that doesn't actually need all that detail.

    Wow, I really loved this. I also love the repetition with "I think I am sick" as well. It flows perfectly, and I especially liked how vulnerable each word feels. It's so personal and that's what makes it beautiful. This was an amazing piece. :)

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

By
Many places, I've come to know, People of different cultures, too; They all have their thing, Something that they can do, But not me, not yet, My talent has yet to show up. I write and write, plots And twists and poems and Even the rare favorite of The readers I've lured And ensnared in my blog. Yet deep inside, I force myself To write the words that meet The lines of text and thoughts. Then I turn to run, and Find the wind upon my face As I escape my life, But it always catches up, And the worries I face Distract me, making the Outside world obsolete. Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
