Be Cool Bitch, Be Cool.

You know how I love jumping on the bandwagon with most of the literary junk out there on the interneats…

so how happy do you think I was when I found out about National Poem Writing Month.

I was very happy people! The only thing I don’t like about it is that you HAVE to post your poem on your blog and show it to the world where it’s liable to be stolen or reworded into an auto commercial.

But will I do it? Hell fucking yeah! I’m geeked for it. It’s not just for this month either, I think April is the big push month. Actually they seem to do a poem a day for every day. That’s three hundred and sixty five poems people! unless it’s a leap year then you have one extra poem to line the bird cages with.

So today is day 2 of the NaPoWriMo so I have to write 2 poems…well don’t know if I HAVE to but I’m going to.

So buckle your boots, bitches! Here we go.

1- Shimbroad

I kiss the expanse of your shoulders

and laugh to myself under my breath

where you can barely hear me.

You press your lips to my ear

and barely audible

you sigh.

2- Journey

We take a million steps

each one piled high with weary strain

destination

well known

we just don’t want to get there

every fight

every touch adding weight

feathers and concrete

breaking bones under the challenge

pulling ourselves along

knowing that the finish

means we go our separate ways

which is better

this slow decimation under the burden of this love

or

the bird bone lightness of being alone?

Oh I know, powerful works there FR… well you can just shut it!
