Hello,
Here is my first blog entry. I thought I'd share a little poem I just wrote with you. I was at a poetry workshop recently and the theme of the evening was "protest poetry." Well, here's my little stab at it. Until I can get a better title, it's called "The Rest of America Can Still Blow Me." Hope you enjoy:
"American Idol five minute celebrities
flash in the pan plastic dolls
all wrapped up in lights
to make us care
I'm surrounded on both sides
by left and right,
Dummycrats and repugnicants,
wackos and wimps.
Truth comes in zany packages
spit out with Ann Coulter snake venom
twisted up in Michael Moore smiley faces
Confusion rears its head
and I sink further into my easy chair
happily sucking my 44 oz. Mountain Dew
while kids do drive-by rap blasting in the street
and no rain parches the ground
Yes, America, I do love you
But thank God I can turn you off
when I want to
Okay, it probably needs work, I admit it. I just thought I'd share it with you anyway. Sorry for the double spacing, I didn't mean it to look like that. Anyway, thoughts and comments are appreciated, if you've got the time. Thanks for reading and have a good day.
