    Diametric
    black snake
    Slithering slowly
    Over the silken skin
    Of the moon-white maiden
    Contrasting colors
    Collapsing in on each other
    Collecting stares
    And gasps of awe
    As they twine together endlessly
    Dark and Light overlapping
    In their eternal dance

    Alliteration overkill? perhaps? i think not, though you are entitled to your oppinion.

    Tribute to Winter in California
    Sounds flowing silently though the brittle grass
    The trees gossip together in loud whispers
    Murmurs of soon-to-be
    And the moon looks on, smiling
    The wind calls playfully
    The clouds gather
    The rain starts softly, sweetly
    The oaks wave their branches in welcome
    The blackbirds cry out
    Winter is here! Winter is here!
    The dry summer earth takes it in, licking its parched lips
    And the rain builds to a roar


    First new thing i've written in a while. Bay is reading, i forgot my book, and his roomate is alseep in his bed, which rules out sex as entertainment, which leaves me livejournal.

    Rainbow Girl
    i've been busy and havnt had time for writing lately, so heres another older one. this is perhaps my favorite poem i've written, although its hard to prioritize.

    Rainbow Girl

    I met her one summer afternoon
    As she swam in the park fountain
    Quick as a penguin
    Graceful as a sea turtle
    She emerged with a splash
    And a flip of her hair
    Her smile made rainbows in the heat
    She said isn’t it a beautiful day
    We frolicked that day
    In the park
    In the summer
    And when night fell
    We went up to the hills
    To watch the white stars come out above us
    And the yellow ones below
    And she said isn’t it a beautiful night

    The next time we met was three years later
    She was in the city square
    Looking at the Christmas lights in the store windows
    Eating a candy cane
    And she waved when she saw me
    Not surprised I was there
    And she said isn’t it a beautiful day
    And her smile made rainbows in the crisp air
    We explored the city
    Sipped hot coffee
    And talked
    As our dragon breath rose in the December air
    We sat on a roof
    And watched the shoppers pass
    Making stories about where they were going
    And why
    And every sad story
    Had a happy ending
    She laughed as the first white flakes fell in her hair
    And she said isn’t it a beautiful night

    Five years later there was a nock on my door
    When I answered, bleary eyed and stumbling
    I said it’s three in the morning
    She replied its raining
    And her smile made rainbows in the dark
    She dragged me outside by my flannel pajamas
    We sat under a tree and listened
    To the rain making music with the leaves
    She danced
    And leapt
    And laughed
    And spun in a thousand circles
    Until she fell down
    And she said isn’t it a beautiful night
    And I said “I love you”
    I stared into her eyes
    And saw rainbows
    And her smile held a thousand meanings
    The space between us shrank
    Her lips tasted like cinnamon
    And as I kissed her
    (Or she kissed me)
    I thought isn’t it a beautiful day
    As the gray dawn turned to daylight she squeezed my hand and slowly backed away
    I asked her when she’d be back
    And her smile made rainbows in the morning light

    I never saw her again
    And as time passes
    The seasons change
    The years go by
    And I say to my self
    Isn’t it a beautiful day
    And I remember the cinnamon kiss
    One kiss from the

    Old poem
    heres one i wrote in english class years ago. it made it to the top three for my grade in the writing contest, but only on the school level. i really like this one though.

    White Porcelain Tub

    tap
    tap
    tap plop.
    tap.
    Water drops falling slowly from the faucet
    Each drop tear shaped and
    Suspended in the air
    Tap
    Of the porcelain tub
    As the drop hits
    The bottom
    Rattle
    Of the white porcelain tub
    Of the gryphon’s clawed feet on the tile
    That rattle when they rock
    Beneath the porcelain tub
    Hiss
    Of my skin
    Sliding against the side
    Of the white porcelain tub
    Dry as a bone in the desert
    From coyote’s dinner last Tuesday
    Hiss
    Of my skin
    Sliding against the side
    Of the white porcelain tub
    Like one thousand grains of sand
    Falling in an hourglass
    A few at a time
    Hiss
    Of my skin
    Sliding against the side
    Of the white porcelain tub
    Empty of water and dry
    As my skin which is
    Dry
    As the parched bed
    Of a dried up lake
    Cracked and open
    Waiting
    In anticipation
    Of a drop of rain
    But only getting
    One drop
    Soaking it up in a flash
    And pleading for more
    The white porcelain tub
    In which I sit
    Dry
    Except for one spot
    Where the drip
    From the rusted faucet
    Falls

    Group Poems
    at the con last weekend, i ran a writing worshop. one of the things we did was do "blind poetry', where you can only see the line right above yours, and you have to write a line, then fold it over so the next person sees only yours. (thats why some of these are so random!) it was lots of fun. so i thought i'd put them up here. the first two were our favorites.

    I can't stop can I can anyone
    It's like trying to still the pulse in my throat
    Like trying to stop the sands of timre
    It's all a synchopated rhyme
    Like Shakespeare with the hiccups
    Or Mark Twain with the runs
    Mark the spot with an X, and hide the map
    Find the treasure, be the best, always be better than the rest
    Like putting your answers to the test
    Only to find that your efforts are in vain
    And thus the scribbles end and thus ends our pain

    -last line Emma Rosloff, first line Alfonso Gomez

    If i could fly
    I'd pick you up and take you into the night
    Night is a time of mystery, or debauchery, or sleep
    Or of grester things than mortals
    -Of Icarus's fall or Osirus's breaking
    Time is for the taking
    Hourglasses, 3 for a dollar
    Sands slipping slowly, silently away
    Away it nears or is it drifting
    Away my mind is gone, lifting
    Lifting to a place I do not know
    Sometimes I wonder where I am
    So I look at a map
    And plan my trip to oblivion

    -last line Chris Brown, first line Erin Merrill

    Walking through my foggy mind
    You know about conceitedness
    That overwhelming, it's-all-about-me feeling
    The overwhealming power to fight or flee
    A natural instinct, though it may be
    To run with scisors, we just have to see
    If those scissors will be a stabin' me
    That sounds so emo
    If it does, doesnt everything
    Sometimes i like to play with shoestrings
    No one thinks im verry smart i wonder why
    Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
    Are you smelling what I'm smelling?
    Smell the sweet scent of victory, the sour stench of fear
    Or is it just my mind playing tricks

    -last line, Alfonzo Gomez, first line Danielle Osborne

    What would you do if you lost your shoe?
    I'd find another, maybe two
    And plant them to see if they grow
    But a weed that grows without sunshine,
    Grows stilted twisted and pale
    A curse a blesing who knows who cares
    Ascending the darkness like climing the stairs
    The stairway to...maybe something a little more bleak
    But we should accept the truth, however meek
    The people seem
    To lick the cream
    Catlike and gracefull, autonomous
    Can it be? No? Yes? why
    Or is there a reason to being a fly?
    But of course
    I'm a horse
    And I'm free to run

    -last line Eric Merrill, first line Brendan Kallaus

    Something stirs within us all why to we ignore it?
    Maybe we are fools to do so
    But love is a fool's game, for foolish lovers
    Although foolishness is fun sometimes, with childlike joy
    Fills my mind with stories of...
    Children shivering in silent doorways
    While the rumbling earth crashes around them
    Let them eat cake!
    Off with her head?!
    Off this planet, our of this world, this state of thought
    Who can who can't why not
    I can! why can't you?
    The demeaning qualities of your voice hold me down
    I just wannaget out of this town.
    It's too cramped and I can't breathe
    Maybe I'll hold my nose until I die.

    -last line, Erica, first line, Emma Rosloff

    No, my son for it is this that I carried you.
    I carry my life in my head like a book
    The weight of society is heavy like school books
    It presses its conformities on everyone's soul
    And the pressure builds with with the indevidual essence squeezed out
    Who knows what the future holds in store?
    Only those who are already there
    What is love? Baby don't hurt me.
    Everyone gets hurt, but no one likes it
    There are who do and its not wrong or is it
    Sometimes you get crushed and sometimes you retreat
    Sometimes inspiration lacking and your creativity is beat.
    Then you start to look at things more deeply to find
    A large yellow bicicle up your ass.
    But in the long run, none of this matters

    First Entry
    So, here begins my poetry journal. feel free to express you absolute devotion, and less flattering comments as well. critisizm, insults, praises, confusion, anything, or nothing.

    eventually i will put up my older poems, too, but i have no definite date or time for that, so we'll just have to see.

    Most of all, i'd like to say hello, and welcome to the show. its gonna be a great time, and we've only just begun. and for my first act, i'd like to do a piece called For Words, dedicated to my new journal.


    for words that flow like silk
    and half-recalled dreams
    for destiny and desire
    for all things thought, but left unspoken
    for words that came too late
    for memorys, both sweet and bitter
    for life,
    death,
    and love
