Poetry Prompt

Okay, I know, this is sort of a dump, but I figured this one would be relevant to this whole new-blog thing. This is from the last poetry club meeting I went to, and since it's the beginning of the semester we were prompted to write an introduction poem, with three aspects about ourselves. Here is mine!

I am a lover

My heart beats fast at the thought

Of books and TV

Stars on the big screen

I am obsessor over personalities

Though my humor may be dry

And my words unforgiving

My soul screams for relationships

Friends, mentors, a family, a team

I am also a writer

If that wasn't obvious enough

Pen to paper, filling spaces

Ideas flowing, mind speeding

Faster than my pen can write

I live for scratches over words that just

Weren't good enough

And huge capital letters

Shocking readers

I am a free spirit

I long to travel and to learn

And not learn at a desk

With a laptop searing into my eyes

All to bright no matter how dim

I make it

I long to reach out of my jaded lifestyle

So much so that every time

I pass an airport, train station, or bus stop

I must hold myself back

From buying a one-way ticket

Out of this stupid, small place
