Untitled Poem
If gloomy thoughts were rifle shots
my mind would be at
civil war.

The Three Oddest Words
When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no nonbeing can hold.
-Wislawa Szymborska
Love is More Thicker Than Forget
Love is more thicker than forget
More thinner than recall
More seldom than a wave is wet
More frequent than to fail
It is most mad and moonly
And less it shall unbe
Than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
Love is less always than to win
Less never than alive
Less bigger than the least begin
Less littler than forgive
Is is most sane and sunly
And more it cannot die
Than all the sky which only
Is higher than the sky
- E.E. Cummings

I actually really enjoy poetry, but I despised it until about the seventh or eighth grade. Poetry was drab to me, seeing as none of it really spoke or connected to me. When someone said "poetry", the first thing I would think of was those boring poems that we were required to learn in class. I never got to enjoy poetry in class, because we don't read it, we dissect and analyze and over think it. I also disliked poetry because if it's long, it's a bother to read. There's a certain rhythm to all poetry, and if the rhythm is slow but long, it's quite frankly annoying to have to read through. It gets frustrating because if you break the rhythm, you have to start reading it again from the beginning.
I'm rather fond poetry now, especially because I'm at the age where I can appreciate it. I love how poems can be brief but strong, and really meaningful to a person. Good poetry speaks to a person, and it becomes a piece of them. It's easier to relate yourself to a poem than a book too, because a poem is short and sweet. It's almost like the lazy but not lazy at all way to convey a message or feeling or idea. I like how poetry can be funny or sad or happy or mysterious, or all of those at once. I like how all the right words have been selected or picked out to give to the mood. Poetry is the perfect way to music and literature combined.
