My Poetry
 
I posted this in my Quest Thread, but nobody commented.
I would like to get comments on my poetry... especially
as I am going to be reading them out at Barnes & Noble
at a Sponsoring event they are holding so my school
Literary Magazine (I am head of the Art Board) can earn
enough money to get full-color, full-binding, and hard
covers on the magazine this year. Last year it was about the
size of a pamphlet, and most of them were immediately
thrown away. We're hoping that with nicer binding, at least
people will take it home to look through, give it to someone
if they're not a fan of poetry or art, and therefore, less trashed.



rebirth.
the moon wanes
slicing off its dead skin
removing the part of it that is infected
after the full red glow
the blood moon of one night
poisoning the sky temporarily
rising higher and higher
and thinner and thinner
until the stars and the sky
are all that can be seen
and the faeries and the pixies dance beneath
the new moon.
the rebirth, and growing
as the sprites vanish back to their homes
and the moon starts to grow
building muscle onto
thin
white
bone
until it is fat and full
and once again
becomes

infected.

momentum
a river of sound,
rushing fluidly to fill
your ears,
your lungs,
your glass.
drink it down
and flourish,
and freeze,
and drown.










underfoot.
i find myself here,
fragile and lonely,
shards of this lost heart
picked apart by shadows of vultures;
or emotion.
thrown into ecstasy this first time,
once again being glued back together;
tenderly.
this still-fragile heart i give to you now,
hold it steady.









a vengeful idol.
put your faith in the bullet,
let the lead bite past bone;
metallic pain- sharp and deep,
to drive eternity home.

Beautiful poetry.

I really like the poem rebirth, it was very vivid and dark at the same time. I think you'll do very well at the Barnes & Noble reading. ^_^
