Five Poems In

May 3, 2008

I’m five poems in and I have no idea what to write.

Everything seems so prose in essence making this also a potential cross-dresser poem

These literary texts now wolves in poetic sheep’s clothing with

Full sentences and rhymes and rhythms that seem to lack…

Rhyme or reason.

All of it because I want to sum it all up-

The struggles you and I have already had,

the promise we have,

the feelings I know now,

the person I’m becoming,

that smile you get when you are so excited,

or our Pokemon themed, honesty founded, midnight-rendezvous-to-care-for-our-mutual-friend filled, tightly bound, emotionally held, adventurous, dangerous, and, ultimately, beautiful thing that we have going on.

So here I am,

five poems in.

But transvestite prose now becomes more as I realize

That all of this will pass

And maybe I shouldn’t write a poem at all

and go blow bubbles instead.

“My grandma is dead

I really miss her a lot

See you in heaven”

SONNETERATION by Jonathonxopher

A beautiful blend of assonance and alliteration meets sonnet genius.  I love it and am dumbfounded as to why someone has not thought of it before.
