BAD POETRY

 

Ah.... Dead Poet's Society. What Robin Williams' character says here is true, yet in my case, my words aren't world-changing ones. My words can make you laugh and brighten up your day, but I doubt that they will change the world. They are petty and about things that don't matter. But still awesome. :P I am hoping to make this a series, however, it may get pretty annoying since I'm terrible at writing poetry. I hope you guys enjoy sub-par writing, because that is what this post is all about. Let me know how you feel about this! 

 

P.S. The last two writings are from a week ago when I was in Portland. Katie and I went to a little writing get together before a Poetry slam. It was legit :)

 

Limmericks are fun when you write them about life situations.
In my life, I get quite confused,
‘Specially when I have been used
By boys, who are dumb,
They make me so glum.
By their actions, I am not so amused

The One About Oatmeal
(I have no idea if this can even be considered as poetry. It doesn't rhyme, and the meter is all over the place. Oh well, I love oatmeal. And I like this... uh, poem thing, no matter what!)

Oatmeal

Uninteresting blobs of discolored oats

I like it

I love it

I want some more of it

But only if it’s maple brown sugar

I’m a habitual creature

As any human should be

I cannot go a day

Without eating bland oatmeal

It makes me feel in control

It makes for a healthy snack

I feel like a martyr for sacrificing flavor like that

Oatmeal

Who came up with the stuff?

Was it the Quakers?

Were they against flavor?

Why am I addicted?

Why don’t I stray?

Why, oh why don’t I break the hold

the scary guy on the box has on me?

I’d rather enjoy adventure.

Have I become a robot?

Am I old?

Do only old people enjoy oatmeal?

Horoscope

This month will be a series of heartbreak for you, Scorpio, but by now you probably shouldn’t be surprised. As a Scorpio, you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve and tell your life story to anyone and everyone who will listen. This type of behavior sabotages any real, lasting friendships you could possibly have, because most people would rather not deal with your drama. At least, they don’t want to deal with it upon their first encounter with you.

Be wary Scorpio. You can avoid this. You can make friends. Reveal your craziness in little bite sized pieces and they will be trapped for life.

Hello, My Name is Anxiety Girl

HELLO, MY NAME IS... 

ANXIETY GIRL!

 

Oh... Life. For myself and most normal people on the face of this Earth, the twists and turns of living aren't exactly what you would call relaxing activities. Some twists can be great-- Like finding a twenty dollar on the ground! Not only could you pop some tags and wear your grandfather's clothing from the thrift shop but that luck typically causes people to feel invincible throughout the day. You are drawn into a (sometimes false) sense of security as if nothing could bring you down. Yet at other times, the twists aren't too awesome. Recently, I've been feeling as if life has been guiding me down wrong turn after wrong turn. I try to turn on the GPS and figure out where in the heck I am at but the computer-like voice just keeps repeating, "RECALCULATING.... RECALCULATING...!" 

To make matters worse, I am quite possibly the biggest worry wart on the planet. Okay, okay, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement BUT I do worry more than the average twenty year old female.I worry about everything from how people view me to leaving my dog at home for far too long. I worry about the future, like everyone, but I take it to an extreme where I start making myself physically sick over things that have yet to happen. I also do that for the past and constantly replay the events of the day in my mind when I feel as if I did something stupid. That causes me to have no motivation to get anything done because as far as I am concerned, something bad is going to happen anyway.

This has gotta change. I'VE got to change. Not because I'm not awesome, because I am. I just have to let the hilarity flow like chocolate fondue lava. As one of my awesome changes, I am going to start writing more! Writing is a great way to vent in a non-violent way. (Unless I start smacking my head against the keyboard...) Anyhow, I promise to write at least weekly and I also promise to write funny posts. I would rather you laugh your booty off while reading my blog posts instead of needing a whole box of tissues to get through them. I am desperately seeking SUNSHINE, not a pity party. :) So, with that being said, I hope that you join me on this journey to find a good level of happiness and normalcy. I will still always be my weird self but probably with a lot more confidence!

I hope everyone has a superb day because you deserve it!! :)
