Exhausted

I tried to sleep this afternoon But then they creeped out side my room The cleaner screamed the visitor shouted “You dirty filth what have you started!” “Nothing” The man yelled back at the cleaner. Then she put me off my dinner. “That man if you see him” she said “tell me He wiped his arse and cleaned his Willy In the sink and let it drip All of the floor and all over the sink Then…

I’ve been avoiding live readings of late — in part because of exhaustion from work, and in part because of a strange social anxiety I’ve developed about attending event — but tonight, I spent my evening at the San Jose Poetry Festival. There were a few challenges getting here: I worked late and then worked later on some personal stuff. I face traffic from SF, and then got lost once I arrived, a sense of panic building as I tried to figure out the location of the cafe. But I arrived at Cafe Frascati and found a spot along the wall, where I could sip a beer and let words wash over me, washing away my anxieties, flooding me with inspiration, and reminding me why I love coming to these events. I have a busy weekend, but hope I’ll have an opportunity to attend more of the Festival events. #sjpoetry #sjpoetryfestival #livelitsanjose #poetry #poetryanxiety #poets #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #sanjosepoetry #sanjosepoetryfestival #365feministselfie https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DsEZihWPk/?igshid=16kpxoflnj5oy

Rules

Rules, never made sense, I watch people even now, Say there are rules, But then not follow them. But shout at others, To follow them. I’ve never been a rule breaker, not really, Never been a rule maker, not really, And I don’t really admire anyone else who makes the rules, shouts about rules or avoids the rules. So really I don’t see the point in rules, not really.

Religious whispers : just a thought

You don’t believe in God, Nor do I, But I pray, incase god hears me. You don’t like people who pray to god, You don’t believe that there is anything, It’s a joke, just a bloke, in a wig and costume, Just a gimmick, just a brag, just a lie people consume, It’s a belief, It’s hope, It’s something many use to guide them through the complexity of life, It’s life saving, it’s a haven, it’s…

When does it end?

When does it end? When I get off the bus? Does the worry stay inside the vehicle? Or does it follow out like mist? Is there something I missed? The man behind tugged my hair as he fell of his chair, The women in front talking about people and shopping, The closed windows fogging, I’m gasping for air, Wishing I never got onto the bus. But I’m getting to old to walk all the way…

Not funny

I can’t be in the same room, As you, Because of what you’ve done and what you do, It’s not funny, no not at all, You think it’s a game, Well I think you’re small, Stringing me on stringing me along, You think you could of used me much longer for fun? You’re wrong, It’s not funny, it’s not right, it’s not ok, And I know you’re doing it all to try and destroy me, But I can be strong I…

Word

You would always comment on my words You disliked them They whispered like a snakes tongue Hissing side to side And the violent shakes of the hiss Would make you rattle You disliked it Didn’t like it How I could have an opinion, a feeling, a thought beyond yours, You wanted more and I appreciated that But I was already torn and couldn’t reciprocate back.

Put down

You’ll always put me down, Because to you I’m nothing more, But when I was with you, You said you loved me so, But now that we are apart, I’m the worst person in the world, But when I was in your car, It was like I was always going to be your friend, And you cannot control me, So that makes me the enemy, You cannot confront me, So that takes all your energy, You cannot shame me, But…

Today, we’d like to challenge you to write either a monostich, which is a one-line poem, or a poem made up of one-liner style jokes/sentiments. Need inspiration? Take a look at Joe Brainard’s poem “30 One-Liners” or Frank O’Hara’s “Lines for the Fortune Cookies.” Swan She is property of the king, harm her and you’ll be sentenced.

Day 2 of #NaPoWriMo month !!

**Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a platonic love poem. In other words, a poem not about a romantic partner, but some other kind of love – your love for your sister, or a friend, or even your love for a really good Chicago deep dish pizza. The poem should be written directly to the object of your affections (like a letter is written to “you”), and should describe at least three…
