sway your head while you talk
stretch your vowels
and call it poetry
and this is how my friend
you become poetic
feel the words while they stretch
straight out of your soul
and let them sparkle in your eyes
and this is how
my friend
you become artistic

this is how my dear
you become a human
if she can do it
fellow poet
then it and I and you and he
can do it too
and them and they and all the rest
will clap and cheer
and toss you money

I was looking like a snack
But you were on a

up for debate.

Thought you made
me
lose my breath

Me reading some Milk and Honey poems to my mom
Mom: That's it?
Me: Yup wanna hear some more
Mom: Nah I'm good fam

⬩

I wanted to see
Some poetry
But problem was that
She is just saying sentences
The way we write our chats

⬩

The sun is blue
The beans are green
My blood is blue too
And your my mother

⬩

when she reads
she reminds me
of a bobble
head dog

or

Stevie
Wonder
singing

⬩

if beauty is enhanced by unashamed irregularities
and magnificence by a facade of blunder

are the spelling mistakes there to make this funnier

I was butter chicken
But you were Tuesday

and realise
they

at least no one
smells my trainers

a chicken biscuit
Buttery and Flaky

Heartbroken
In the drive thru
I weep

So I'm guessing no one ever told her 'no'

Her style of reciting is so pretentious
it almost feels like she's trying to sing
but failed a singing career

And how do they get so much of a fame

East or west
Poetry is the best
Trees have nest
Heart inside our chest
And if you're looking for sense here

It had words in it
Because that's what poems have
Keep reading poems

surrounded by urine
unable to see itself

When it was happening
It felt like a switch
Your skin made me wince
And your hair made me itch
You need to be different
But you can't and it frustrates you
Your anger fills me
With joyous tears
Why is it like this and why do I think
That I'm the only one who needs me

She feels her own words

The world is a strange place to live in.
All those cars.
All going someplace.
All carrying humans,
which are carrying out their lives.
Pull the string
