Becoming a Poet

He said he wanted to be a romantic poet, 

Like Lorca or Frost, 

But the only beautiful words he could think of, 

Were really just sounds, 

That he couldn't spell.

Beautifully Deliberate

Open your eyes!
he yelled.
There are no accidents!
This..., (and he was very serious at this point),
...this is deliberate.
It is beautifully deliberate,
and I will forever be grateful to whoever is responsible for it.

Resonance

Sleeping on the Beach

I sprouted wings this morning,
From the back of my calves.
I put on my dress made from seaweed,
Which was surprisingly comfortable.
I looked in the mirror, but instead of eyes,
I had shells where my eyes ought to be.
I thought I looked lovely.
But this was not I.
And I knew I would wake,
And return to self.
I began to cry,
But I had no tears.
Pearls of onyx dripped from my cheeks.
I collected them from the floor,
And saved them in a velvet bag.

Taller

Do you remember that day,
When we compared heights.
I stood against your back,
And you were taller?
You were always taller.

To Breathe

Always rooted in truth. Always.

Maybe

Maybe I don't want to be a queen. Maybe I want to be a princess.
Maybe I don't want to be good at many things.
Maybe I want to be great at a few.
Maybe I don't want to wake up.
Maybe I want to keep dreaming.
Maybe I don't want to do for you.
Maybe I want you to do for me.
Maybe I don't want to wait.
Maybe I want it now.
Maybe I want you now.

(not poetry. random musing)

Language

This is what happens when I have inspiration, but am too lazy to type it up.

Franklin is Born!

This is something that I have been working on for a while, but is only now coming into fruition. He doesn't look like much, but, well, he isn't! Franklin is a guy with a lot of issues and a BIG crush on Nanette from accounting. I'm sure as I progress, some adjustments may be made, but I think I like him the way he is. My goal is to update his story as he tries to overcome obstacles to achieve his main goal: to see Nanette's, uh, assets, once a week or more. I hope you find "Franklin" (which may be written under a different title) as fun to read as it is to write.
