ugh

i'm having such issues. i'm all poemed out. i've been staring at the screen for HOURS and nothing is coming to me. i have to have something to turn in today, with enough time to go get copies made and get to school. so that basically means i need it done before roswell at 3. and now it is almost noon. i've come up with something retarded taken from my language journal, but it means nothing and i'm damned tired of meaningless poetry. mayhap i need to consider a different course of study???

Ugh, that is so rotten! It's not like a paper where you can just force it out...you kind of have to be inspired for poetry. I'm sorry! Good luck...

i know! wanna see what i got? it's so lame, i'm not even gonna turn it in. i forgot i have to read a bunch of sharon olds' poems and comment on them, so i'm taking a break to do that. but anyway, lame poem, mostly inspired by magnetic poetry:

And lastly

you should know
in this frantic trudge
of fiddle-sweet week
I burn iron diamonds
for a sordid goddess
who forgets
in the delicate flood
to care.
