poem for creative writing class


Remember When Imitation by Johanna


Part 1.

Miller Lite logo in the chest
the shirt’s too big
so she wears it like a dress,

and twirls a clumsy ballet.
Pigtails smacking her baby face.

Soon a yawn fights its way through her sugary lips
and she tiptoes to her imaginary friends
who wait on a cloud of dead sheep.
Imaginary friends ready to lull her to sleep
as she hides her arms in her big shirt
and cradles her perfect figure.

Part 2. "Sleep Over"
Cuddling with 10 of my closest friends.
Overlooking where one bitch ends
and another demon begins.

Commiserating the lies on the bathroom walls,
the best myspace profiles
and my pink polka dot pants.

Damn.
Why’d I let those tight pants go?
Oh yeah,
the jerk with the cute smirk called them “tacky.”

Tacky,
another word for “tasteless” or “classless”
But he’s the classless fucker
reading smut novels and
naming his sex apparatus
after Danielle Steel.

He’s his own Marxist state.
Little does he know
he’s choking on Marie Antoinette cake.

My buddies tell me to stop thinking about
the asshole in the park.
But I can’t.
He was so cute
with his spiked hair and Pokemon cards.
My buddies tell me to listen to the rain
and drown my heart.

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 :)

A song about a stranger by a stranger

After hitting my daily post limit on tumblr I decided to ask followers random questions in their ask box.  I asked a guy, Ed , if he could post a drawing of a husky, but he couldn't.  So I asked him if he could write me a song and here it is  :)  "Jack the Travellin' Man" by Ed Coles  <3

Coyote Blue book review


This humorous novel is about a Crow Indian, Sam, living a secure uneventful life as an insurance salesman.  He's left the reservation 20 years ago because of a misunderstanding with the law and just wants to forget about his roots.  But the appearance of the Crow god, Coyote Blue, has forced Sam back to the Crow culture.  This was an enjoyable read.  The style was fun and easy to understand.  The character Calliope reminded me of Marianne from Andrew Davidson's The Gargoyle.  So if you liked that novel, you'll like Coyote Blue.  4.5 out of 5 stars  :D
