ENGL 314 poems

So, I have this class that is nearly impossible for me to stay fully awake in through the entire class. Yesterday I actually did it! By writing poetry for a good part of the class, so here are three of the results, hope you enjoy:

The Faded Farewell

I look upon the letters
Worn and faded
Like chalk drawings after rain
When the sky is cerulean blue

Written to reveal secrets hidden behind
Eyes that strive to be
Truthful without letting tears
Run down the cheeks

Faulty are the stumbling words that
Whisper into the silence the
Reason for the goodbye
To someone once a friend




Escape to Tickle-Me-Pink

A shadow
Tries to overcome my joy
Immersing me
In a blustery wind
That houses worries
Language cannot describe

Done with the fight
I modestly
Give into the wild
Music I hear
And dance, like tickle-me-pink
Escaping my own crankiness




ENGL 314

Your voice drones on in even tone
About things I don’t need to know
The girl behind me starts to speak
And I admit, I’m close to sleep

This class it seems to span the days
My brain turns off, eyes start to glaze
My neck it soon begins to hurt
From many painful nods and jerks

I strive to keep open my eyes
I’m asking you, please sympathize
I want to learn, its true, I vow
But my eyes want sleep, my stomach growls

So as the girl behind me speaks
And you wonder why I’m asleep
I promise I don’t mean to snore
But this class is long, and your voice a bore
