i've been writing little bits of things here and there... on napkins, post-it notes, chunks of loose leaf, etc... so, hopfeully sometime soon, i'll be able to write something articulate. in the mean time, i was looking through papers from high school and i found a couple poems i wrote for creative writing last year. here you are danielle:


Her Eyes Are Gray
(this one is hard to read, but try it.)

Walking by, I noticed
Her eyes are gray but she says they're
Blue is my favorite
Color is only desired by the myth in
Our minds will be eaten by
Worms live in the ground
Must be confused with me because
Everyone walks all over and passes by, but never stops
To say "how are you?"
Requires movement of the mouth
That stains each word with
Lies are guaranteed to open
Wounds only bleed sometimes but never
Heal when you find your end
Inside they look gray
But blue is my favorite color


Untitled

I'm reminded of double-sided tape
One twist, bend, or fold
And it is ruined forever
All promise erased in an instant
Left stuck, strangling a finger

I'm reminded of broccoli stench
Cheese, seasoning, or other vegetables
Cannot disguise
Gnawed-away tree tops
Hidden in mashed potatoes

I'm reminded of days wasted
Working, eating, breathing
For accepted unknowns
Rushing to death
Waiting, and still waiting
For life

Comfort lies behind closed eyes

my next poem will be a rebuttal to "men, marriage, and me: why we don't mix."
