In Class Poetry Prompt

Advice to...
                   an unhappy face

Smile
It's a face-lift for free
You look like your waxen face
Got too close to the flame

Close your mouth when you masticate that Doublemint
Your slacken jaw like a puppy chewing a bone

Community Poetry

I have been very excited about the response I got for the community poetry project! The ladies in my book club were excited to be a part of it and wrote some really beautiful poems! Besides the lovely ladies in my book club, I have had opportunity to discuss poetry with regular customers at work and while poetry is the least read genre, there is still definitely an interest in it still out there!

Poetry Class

This poetry class definitely stretched my ideas of what a poem is, and can be. While I have learned to enjoy the wild and crazy unstructured randomness of categories such as found poetry, list poetry, flarf poetry, etc., I still enjoy, and have a soft spot for structured poetry with beautiful language and organized stanzas.

My Poem About That Social Media Site

Friends

Seven hundred and thirty five “friends”

More people known less

Or not at all

Catch up with past classmates

Without ever leaving the couch

Click and connect

More like research than relationship

Break-ups, hook-ups

Unofficial until announced

To a virtual community

Molly Jones and Nathan Peters are no longer in a relationship

Private, inner-most thoughts shared

With no one in particular

Exchanging dignity for a like

The loser didn’t pay child support again... sooo broke!

Report baby’s potty triumph

Owen did his first poo-poo in the potty!!

Drop down to

Seven hundred thirty four “friends”

This tip was my favourite (hold up sarcasm sign) 

"Just remember to put yourself in the poem it makes it so much more beautiful!"

More Adventure with Siri

Recite a Poem For Me

Recite Poetry.
Roses are red,
violets are blue.
Haven't you got
anything better to do?
What is better than poetry?
OK, I found this on the web:
Web Search:
better than poetry
Sex Is Better Than Poetry by Les Barker.
Ok, recite more poetry anyways.
Oh freddled gruntbuggly
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
on a lurgin... Oh, even I can't listen to this anymore.
Recite a different poem
I'm not sure that's such a good idea. 
I write the fourth-worst poetry in the universe.
