Poems
These are fun poems I feel like sharing that aren’t a part of any projects.
This poem is a blend of witness to a dream and bad memory.
I wanted to try a persona poem based on a bit I came up with using a new social prop, my harmonica. I still don’t know how to play it and I refuse to learn. For now.
Enjoy this crazy take I made!
I wanted to write something inspired by…
Dark Souls, essentially. There are so many assets in the game, like stray piles of bricks, that tell their own story and I wanted to do something with that impulse in a poem.
I wrote this during a trip to Hawaii. There were some funny stories from then.
This is just a neat little one.
A sconce poem! You should try to make a poem with my dumb little rules and see what happens.
See what!
(Just kidding.)
I wrote this while practicing sprung rhythm, which is a lot of fun.
I like to challenge myself…
and write complicated poems in the smallest space I can manage.
This is another poem from the book. I wrote “Senator Franken” around the two-week period before and after Al Franken resigned from the Senate. It was all doubly hard to think about while Roy Moore seemed to be the front-runner in the Alabama contest. There was a stanza or two mentioning Moore and the abhorrence of a win by him under the circumstances, but I decided those would detract from the message here.
