   Poetry

Hello my pretties! Bad news, lo siento. Today starts my new life of no wrestling, which translates to I won’t be on nearly as often. I’m still working on being able to stay at school for 8th period, so I can post and say hi, but, it might not happen. If so, yeah, I’ll be gone most of the time. Sorry. If any of you still want to stay in contact with me, PM me and I’ll send you my email address. I can check my email everyday. Now to happier thoughts. I got to see Justine today! Thanks Amanda!!!! I was so excited. Even though Justine’s all depressed, because drama happens a lot in her life, but I love her anyway! Hi Justine! Good luck with your stuff! Also, I have a job interview Friday! *bites nails* I’m excited though, because I REALLY need a job. And you know what? I feel sexy today. No reason. I haven’t done anything different, and I’m even wearing ugly clothes. But I still feel sexy. I’ve never felt sexy before. I like it. *grins wickedly* And for Amanda’s sake, since I promised, I wrote two poems last night, and I thought I’d share. They are the same topic, with many of the same lines, but I wasn’t sure whether or not I liked it better in free verse or with a loose rhyming scheme. Tell me what you think. Free (in free verse) The constant drip of moisture Fills the silence of the damp cell And he wakes to find The shaft of sunlight Has faded once again. Desperation strangles His tired heart And he chokes back A panicked cry As the thick darkness Attacks his mind. And the chains that bind him Bite into his wrists And the pain in his battered body Overwhelms him. But through the bars Of his meager window, One bright, lone star Shines its hope To the prisoner. And he smiles to himself, For his soul is yet free. Or the loosely rhymed version: Free (in ABAB) He wakes to find the light gone And he despairs, for he knows How long he must wait for the dawn And the shaft of sun to show. He is bound by the heaviest of chains And it leaves his ankles bruised. The constant weight causing an unbearable pain So that his body screams to be loosed. The dampness seeps into his bones As he sits curled on the cold stone floor And he wants to weep, for he is alone And never will he see anyone open his door For there is no key To unlock this prisoner’s cell. But he smiles to himself, as he is free, For who can bind a soul? Which do you like more? I think I’m leaning more towards the loosely rhymed one, but in a way, sometimes I feel the free verse is deeper. Comments are welcome! Okay, now this conversation is basically with Justine, unless anyone else knows Bleach. Okay, you know my super epic Bleach fanfic? Well yesterday I was just considering the fact that I will be writing about the War, and therefore, people have to die. It wouldn’t be a good fanfic if there was just a ridiculously happy ending. So I think I’m gonna kill off Yoruichi. Don’t hurt me please! *blocks punch* Sorry! It’s just that, a main character has to die and I’m loathe to kill someone that I put with one of my original characters. So I ended with her. What’s your opinion? Back to everyone else! How is everyone recently? Did the weekend suit you all well? I can’t think of anything else to say. Yeah. So, don’t take offense if I don’t answer PMs and comments right away, because I probably won’t be here. I’ll miss you all! Cross your fingers that I convince my mom to let me stay 8th period everyday! And that I get a job! I love You! Because it's sexy!
