Some Poetry
Here are some quick poems I jotted down during Intro to Literary Studies:
1. Hush
Do not speak of this,
Do not talk,
Not even a willow whisper
Even when the ice-house wind blows
Through your shallow skin.
Do not speak of this,
It shall be shunned
To talk of this which happened,
To mutter, argue, filibuster
Upon such things that shouldn’t be.
But do not forget,
How now this is folly
To think that the dark chill
Should be foreign to your neck
Yet, do not speak of this.
2. Black Mask
Black mask,
Sketched in white with horns,
Pronged or straight or uniform,
Empty sockets lacking eyes
To see me in my current state,
Though it makes no difference
If I were young or old,
Stil upon your sight, fright would take hold.
Perhaps it is just the fear
That finally calls you near,
For I confess, I’ve always seen
You sketched in white
Upon the pages of my dreams and of my life,
Black mask,
Sketched in white with horns,
I shall not fear thee longer, bother me no more.
3. Sensibility
A heart with an arrow through it?
I doubt that means much in luck,
Who’d want a perfect blow
From any archer’s well-trained bow?
I’d prefer to go unscathed
By any archer’s wicked ways.
So that I may skip about,
Dance and sing and dream and shout,
No I’ll keep all arrows out
Of me, and above all, my heart,
Do as you like, I’ll have no part.
4. Laureate
A simple sonnet I here shall write,
For I am a God, with such ease
My pen flows quick just to tease
You as you struggle with same-named plight.
Ah, Petrarch, I do believe
That your genius is diminished by my skill,
For in a second with my ink and quill,
I create a five-second sonnet I just conceived.
When I’m buried in the abbey,
And all writers shed a tear,
Don’t be flushed for this joke,
For though my sonnet’s are not shabby,
My epigrams are far better and more dear,
Thus Petrarch do not lament, I jest more at Pope!
These aren’t so emotion filled as my past ones, probably because I”m trying to right more about things in life and actual substantial objects, just to see what will happen.
nice!!!
