I'm kinda new to this list, but I saw everyone else posting their poetry so I decided to post some of my own.... hope you like it, and if you odn't, oh well. Ps- they're all untitled - ------------- gathered at the nape of her neck is her Soul tied with an elastic - -------------- she wears tight black skirts hoping that she'll fit in and drowns herself in the fragrance she's told "everyone is wearing" she puts on the music they tell her is popular and with that she looks in the mirror and sees someone who, with, dyed brown hair and heavy eye liner might be pretty although is as dirty as the rest of them who tried to change her - --------------------- he washes his hair with shampoo he bought half off at the Wal Mart he puts on the red shirt he's had since he was 12 he brushes his teeth with baking soda, since toothpaste costs more he ties the laces of his holey shoes and runs his fingers through his wild hair but he never forgets how it feels to be king. - ---------------- bear with me for I'm arrogant self centered bear with me for I'm loud obnoxious and stupid bear with me for I'm not as perfect as you but at least I can admit it - --------------- I am my biggest fan and my biggest supporter and I am always there for me you dare to question me I answer I don't trust you you change your mind and you grow tired of my games but I don't for I am me wonderful me - --------------- silky, golden curls spilling over tanned, toned shoulders wide blue eyes blink, stiff by mascara a hole in the nose (made yesterday) silver post gleaming pursing fuller lips lined with red and filled with gloss tweezed brow moves downward, frowning have we reached perfection yet? - ------------- I've often wondered what it would be like to be a child again to have the power to choose another path and experience those things only few can see and to grow up and tell about it and learn from myself <3Rachel <3 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Mar 1999 13:29:03 EST From: NoWay345@aol.com Subject: ET: ET- some poems, #2 I had so many poems to put in, I just made it into two emails...... - --------------- I reach for the lollipop with sticky hands My knotty hair In two messy pigtails A rip at the knee In my overalls never stopping to tie my shoes that were on the wrong feet my laughter echoing through the house The innocence not yet broken - ------------------ my childlike feet used to dangle over the edge of the seat my radiant grin wearing overalls, a blue T-shirt I felt so grown up Now 15 years later I sit in the same seat my feet don't dangle anymore My smile still as radiant wearing overalls, a blue T-shirt I feel like a kid again - ------------------- you believed them when they said the world was round although you'd never seen it you trusted them when they told you about jesus, and the lord although you've never met them you believed them when they said you'd never be anything because they were always right about these things no matter what you thought - ----------------- They told you hide your face because you're different They told you dye your hair because you're different They told you to walk this way and speak this way and act this way When you do, you can be like me And then we'll be the same prototypes of the same evil creature - ----------------- I remember when you came to me, your soiled locks and tattered clothing How I fixed you up and made you new again you shined like a new car that you drove around town, colored red I remember how you ran a hand through you hair, buttoned you shirt and drove away in your shiney red car, forgetting about me completely. - --------------- take me strip me of my senses make me whole again make me right again like you take my soul in my hands and filter it through my fingers vanish the unholy tip back my head and pour into the knowledge I must keep never mind the innocence am I pure now? - ---------------- They told you Dear, this is the way the world works Welcome to reality No more jumping purple clouds Or planting a giraffe These thoughts you have They're wrong Because I'm right Superman will not rescue you Dogs will never fly You cannot ride a bumblebee Because I say you can't Don't look down at your palms And wonder if they have eyes I'm full of theory, of Proof No need for your games Let me label you Pretender And let us imagine Life That last one was kinda dumb, but oh well....... <3 Rachel <3 ------------------------------ Date: 21 Mar 99 14:45:54 CST From: Naomi Vaughn Subject: Re: [ET: published?] I had a poem of mine published in a poetry anthology ("The Music of Silence") last year.
