Thought it would be fun to see what you all come up with on a whim. Try not to think about it too much; the spontaneity is what makes it fun!
Mine:
Darkness on sunny days, brightness in the dark. Every day.
Fuck this shit
I want out
Let me go
Home
Written like a man at work on a slow day!
Cool wind blows
Autumn’s herald harkens
Balls sweat no more
No poem has ever instilled such wistful hope in me before
And as the leaves fall, I am falling for them.
Roses are dead, Violets are dead, I suck at gardening.
With practice makes… ah, yes, of course, more dead flowers.
We need rain, I’m told.
It rains, complaints grow tenfold.
Don’t tell me
What to do
You’re not my dad
Every day is another test. I forgot my #2 pencil.
And yet, with no pencil in hand, wisdom is espoused.
Seriously, this one was great. You should remember it always.
“#2” is two words. But dropping either “I” or “pencil” would work.
Life is too short Make of it What you can
Do not dawdle,
but do not become married
to work.
Make amends with your friends,
lest they meet unfortunate ends.
You’ll wish you’d chosen
not to leap
right…
about…
now
Hobby horse, eat a cake Jump around, break your leg
Horse, if you didn’t devour cake, you’d still have leg.
It only has one leg. It’s a hobby horse.
There are two or three and sometimes four? Potentially… more.
Sometimes less is best.
If all is zero, nothing is.
everything you do matters, except all the bathroom splatters. shit.
women, girls, ladies
a lifetime is insufficient
to appreciate you
The kids are fighting again.
I love being their dad!
9 words
The “I” was silent. Thank you!
Crushing reality, Hurtling towards destruction. I need to do more.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
And so are you,Ack! I’m choking! Ack! I’m losing sight of the world!
