I have some poems I wrote. I save them for stories, when I don't steal from Keats. But I've been sitting here having a bagel and I thought I'd post something. Just Because.
I have a pet. But it's not a real one, it's just a goldfish. Pretty lame. Here is a poem I wrote for him. I don't think I'll ever need a goldfish poem in any of the stories I write. At least around here.
Fragile glass and giant tear,
Define the lens and disappear,
Magical and secretly,-
A moment lost in mystery;
While my heart with urgent beat,
Strains against the night to meet,
I press my lips to mirror'd gaze,
And in that touch the cold betrays:
How distant must our worlds seem,-
Thine of tears and mine of dreams;
Escape! I cry in lonely night,
Seek my love, that splendid light,
Promised thee with child eyes,
Remember'd still in golden guise.
And this one is really short. I like 4 line poems a lot. Brevity is something I struggle with. That's probably why I liked being Plagiarist so much. This one is just kind of a lonely poem. I didn't name it.
And lastly, this one is about me. I like the duality of the individual theme. I use it a lot in my stories. This one I would probably use in a story, so maybe you'll see it again. Maybe not. No title for this one either. Ahhhhh...I changed my mind, I'll give you my "hate poem instead. But I didn't give it a title either. "The Hate Poem" was just too obvious.
So there's 3 poems. I think all good things come in three's. The Chinese think that too. The luckiest Chinese number is 27 (that's 3 3's 3 times). The 27th was my birthday too. Kind of a coincidence, but not much of one.
I hope you liked these. Have a nice day.
