wreck this activity book


I got an activity book from a Kid's Meal from Wendy's.  The theme is road trip activities.  Cool because I'm reading Jack Kerouac's On the Road for English.  I even made a playlist for it.  Road Music But most of the activities just apply to long road trips and you can get anywhere you need to be in Guam within 30 minutes.  So I decided to wreck this activity book with my lame art. Yes I got the idea from Wreck This Journal.  And this is cool because I'm not spending $10 or whatever on a book telling me how to art.  I may lack creativity, but I know how to art.  Here's what I've made so far.

Two Princes - a poem

I don’t know why
I admire a Guy
who trashes Rolexs every week
but
despise some idiot
who falls
in
love with

a different girl every month.


I'm getting back into writing. This is just a start.

Cotangents*of Yevgeny

One of my poems has been published on a site! 
Cotangents of Yevgeny
-a teenage love story
Johanna Salinas

Part 1

Dec. 20, 2012

“I hope the apocalypse
will be as pretty as you!”
Yevgeny shouts
as he forgets
himself into the
brown ankle deep puddle
he insists is a pond.

His Queen, Yudina, blushes
a rosy bouquet as
her virginal
heart snaps
this moment into
her Memory Museum.

Please Yevgeny, please
don’t break her virginal
heart.  Dang it!

Get yourself out
of the mud and
into her love!

Do it now
before she realizes
what a total loser you are.
Do it now
before the earth caves in
with the stars.



Part 2

Dec. 21, 2012

“Welcome to the nightmare!”
Yevgeny sang as he
hid from the future
under a pile of dead leaves,

but lost himself
in the darkness
of a vacuum
of beautiful things.

Dec. 22, 2012

“I dreamed
we were dead,”
Yudina breathed.
“And I remember being so happy.”

Part 3

A Letter to Yevgeny From His Queen

Dear Goofball,                                                                                                                     

Somewhere in heaven,
an angel must be fainting from madness
because I made a wish
on the constellation
of pimples below your eyes.
Because tossing well-earned money
down a well
just isn’t enough
to contain my adoration of YOU.
Killing those dumb dinosaurs
couldn’t have said it more.

Streets graffiti me with neon and traffic
but all I know is you.  
All I see is your silvery surprised blink
as I dance along to the parade song
stuck in your head.

Somewhere a village is being deprived
 of an idiot because

I wished for you.

Swag Hag Poem


My throat’s all scratched from this screaming I’ve done
My diaphragm is all rubbery from these animal calls
But I carry on until you answer my distresses

O Captain, o Captain! Take me away from these generic hoes
I’m too swag for this ghetto
These bitches be hatin’ but you were always mine for the takin’

So take me now—like I did you…
Please. We’re friends. We’ve partied together and cried together.
I even bought you taco bell.

Take me away on your disco stick because
 This club can’t handle me and my electric sex pants

What good is your love when just our chakras touch…
I need your grasp, I need your smell…and your sexy, dramatic stare

Captain, my Captain, you may not be fly like Kanye
And I may not be glam like Beyoncé,
But this club can’t handle us right now

this poem is for my poetry class. please tell me how I can make it better :)
