National Poetry Day

Apparently today is National Poetry Day, so I figured what the heck, I'll post one of the poems I wrote for one of my college courses. It was actually inspired by a post from an old LJ friend, oselleCircling the Drain

that gave me shivers.

Wow. That has to be the highest praise I've ever received for a poem. Thank you so much!

[baranduin]

It's super dark. I loved how you committed to it to its logical end.

That's a fantastic metaphor. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks! I felt a little silly at first, since it's actually your nation's Poetry Day, but I figured what the hell. :)

Damn but you write great stuff. This is a fantastic poem.

I know you wouldn't say that unless you meant it, and you've probably read enough to know, so that really means a lot to me.

That gave me a shudder, and it's a fabulous metaphor. Really well done :)

Thanks so much! You're the second person to describe an actual physical reaction to this poem, I'm really amazed.

Maybe I should come up with something for when it's my nation's Poetry Day? :)

*Grins* When *is* your Poetry Day?

[kinkthatwinked]

I think we actually get a whole month. April, to be exact.

Sure, okay. Thank you for feeling it's worth a link. :)
