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
Into the Woods and Infertility

Ha ha! I liked this the most! But the other two were good too! Tickle me pink was fun! And I was sad reading the other. But it was even funnier when I turned to share the poem with Matt he was supposed to be reading but his eyes were glazed and his head nodding. LOL. Love ya Lydia! You are a great writer! And now you must love me FOREVER! Wah! hah! hah! hah!(evil laugh)
