La dee dee, it's Poetry

So, I looked at my pathetic blog and realized it needed to be spiced up a bit. I considered filling my online journal in on the Holidays... on the recent trip to Beijing (maybe I'll post pictures)... but as I pondered what to write, I decided to write a poem about writing. I'm new at this. But poetry is kinda fun, so yippee yi yay. And since I don't allow comments on my blog you can't trash my writing or think I'm fishing for approval- which gives me courage.


I want to Write


I want to write.
I want to write something eloquent.
Fashioning my thoughts
Into words
Perfectly.

I want to write.
I want to write something nonchalant.
Slapping my emotions
On Paper
Carelessly.

I want to write.
I want to write something beautiful.
Making your eye glimmer,
Your lip quiver,
Tremulously.

I want to write.
I want to write something daring.
Challenging your raised eyebrow,
Your suppositions,
Bluntly.

I want to write.
I want to write something funny.
Tickling your ribs
Until you admit I’m
Witty.

I want to write.
I want to write something meaningful.
Weaving something worthy
Of reading
Thoroughly.

I want to write.
I want to write something simple.
Smoothing your brow.
You can breathe
Easily.


I want to write.
I want to write something grandiose.
Stabbing at that which is unattainable
And doing so
Humbly.

I want to write.
I want to write something for me.
Observing merely the minute details
Between sunrise and fall
Accurately.

I want to write.
I want to write something for you.
Pulling your head
Onto my Shoulder
Tenderly.

I want to write
I want to write… something.
Hoping only that you
Will Read It
Willingly.
