"Glitter" on March 8th 2010, terribly early in the morning. (<-- This is in the words of AllPoetry, not mine. The poem, of course, is mine.)
A spark ignites
emanates from a tiny candle
lit from a match
of paper and cardboard and a tiny little tip
white or red, whichever you prefer
friction struck on emery like sandpaper
and burnt sand, which makes glass
is transparent,but is mutilated coral
when it first started
chewed on by parrotfish
protected by polyps with tons of swaying arms
that branch out like trees, but these arms move
and sting the nosy fingers who touch the creatures' mouths.
Mouths that eat and mouths that chew
I bid you adieu,
but how can I, for my mouth is on my face
and in it a little crater, which leads to a hose
which, like a snake moves in undulating motions.
Food, go down, I command you,
But I choke and sputter
and spit it out.
The mucous surrounds like frozen sap
stuck under a branch of a pine tree
who inhales carbon and exhales oxygen
for us to breathe, making us free
emancipating us from our ball-and-chain slavery
from this love that binds us to the ground
and pins us to this chair
and our lover sees us, fascinated...
in our state, thrashing in despair,
he does nothing but stand there.
Love is patient, love is kind
love makes me blow my mind
Love is sparkly, love is shiny
Love is like seasalt, briny.
Love glitters for those who reflect
a dazzling light for friends, imperturbed.
Written in Freewrite section, 8:32 minutes. Uhmm. It was in a topic called "Glitter." You must be wondering where all this came from "Glitter." I'll give you a hint: it starts with spark. Another hint? It ends with shininess. I tried to incorporate vocab. Tell me if I failed, yes?
