1. Show some emotion:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Guess what Chilean poetry?
No one likes you.
2. Rhyming can be fun:
I had an essay due today,
that I didn't want to write.
I procrastinated quite a bit,
and stayed up til 2:30 last night.
Then, bright and early this morning,
I believe the clock said 7:00 AM,
Benja was whining about going to school,
and woke my tired ass up again.
I eventually fell back to sleep,
and slept another two hours.
I really needed to finish my paper
so I decided not to shower.
I actually did finish my paper on time,
even though I was hella tired.
I don't really care what grade I get,
because I'm a math major and the grades don't transfer anyway so all I need to do is pass.
3. Structure is important:
I don't trust haikus.
After I read a haiku,
I count syllables.
Thanks for reading. Hope you learned alot.
I'm off to work at the Y!
Besos y abrazos!

mmmm.... I'm sensing a little poetry rage here. Everytime you start getting angry at your poetry, just think of the
"1,2,3,4,5, I caught a fish alive" poem and that should cheer you up. And if that doesn't work, I'll see what else I can find.
Love, Mom
I think your poems actually show a lot of promise. You just have to tap that inner narcissist that makes all poets think that anybody else cares.
Hey, thanks, glad you liked the header. I'm a photographer/writer :)
I'm from Grandville, MI by the way. Small world!
