So I took a creative writing class and now I have a ton of new poems to post!

So a bit of a heads up, I'm going to be posting a bunch of time here very rapidly cause I think having a huge word dump in one post is kinda ugly and hard to read.

Memoirs of May Day
it was hot
the sun beating down unrelenting on our backs
weighed down by our plastic burdens

feet stomped
over the familiar dirt of the playground
over the green grass sprayed white

it was chaos
a dull din of thousands of chairs falling
metal legs striking metal legs

Mouths whispered
as thousands of children sat huddled together in clumps
glancing eagerly at one another

it was a battle
as silence fell while the adults stood front and center
from their lips a shrill whistle silencing

heads rose
as a whole, group by group, students stood in a nervous hum
as two strolled regally out cloaked in feather crowns

it was a war cry
The first, the youngest, as one their voices rose
filled with glee and innocence

Hands clapped
From us, from them, a wave of sound that rang out for all to hear
shutters clicking away as we are all blinded by the flashes

it was the moment of truth
as we stood armed with our paper props and borrowed sunglasses
as one we drew a breath and there was a beat of silence


I sang

First Meeting
I was happy where I was
lost in a world that bleed ink
and grew with colors
as stories were woven
in ways I had not thought possible.

I was happy just to explore
with character I had never seen before
in worlds that almost felt known
rejoicing in hair made of blocks
and arms drawn like noodles

I was happy but I was also a bit lonely

Lonely in the fact
that others did not understand
the stories that twisted in ways they did not expect
in characters that looked odd to them
in a book that had to be read backwards

It was okay though
because I had my world of colors
my worlds of words
where my stories could take me away
their images lingering in my hands
I was okay

Except it wasn’t in just my hands
there standing right in front of me
my world of words and colors
lay open within their hands
and for the first time I heard.

Voices laughing in honest joy
raised heated in mocking conflict
as they smile fondly at my world
and for the first time I hoped

They knew, they understood
the world made up of odd words
and weird images that had to be read backwards
they understood and took joy in it
Perhaps they would understand me too

All I had to do was call out to them

I did.

Starstruck
The class hums with nervous energy
waiting in awkward silence
weeks of prep just for this moment
minds churning over preset questions.

Our teacher’s voice our only warning
as we hear him through the walls
the doors burst open with a bang
and we are all left starstruck

She’s taller than I thought she would be,
skinner as well, she’s dressed casually
and yet, there is something else as well.

Something that we can’t explain
as we glance, constantly, throughout the lesson
Especially hard for me as she sits right to my left,
my borrowed pen in her hands as she smiles
at our teacher’s enthusiasm.

The lesson’s over and hours pass
we meet once again to sing, everyone gets a turn,
stumbling over foreign words humming with nervous energy
she smiles with a gentle kindness and praises our attempts
before she stands and takes the mike
comfortable in her hands.

She sings

There it is again,
the something we cannot name
as we cannot turn our heads
from where she stands
radiant

Her songs ends in silences
we are all left
starstruck

Cosplay is not Consent
it is a dream
heat spreading in a welcoming hug
and light sparkling like crystals floating in the air
lace and cardboard float like clouds
as men, as women, as children
laugh in joy at fellow companions
sharing in their equal love.

It is a nightmare
heat bearing down in an oppressive weight
and light glaring blind all those trapped within it’s gaze
silk and rubber drag through the dust
as men, and men, and sometime women
leer at those who are garbed in laughter
taking love not their own

It is an insidious poison
as they are approached with friendly smiles
with bold eyes asking for a favor
just not the one they thought it was
as the leering men and women have them trapped
within the short embrace of their arms
reaching for parts they did not agree to

It is a parent’s fear
when they find their daughters in tears
when they find their sons drowning in anger
as men with cameras yell, and yell, and yell
at the “injustice” they have taken to protect themselves
from the many who wish to see what lies beneath
the art they have crafted for themselves

It has become a war
as more and more people become aware
of the dangers that lurk in these halls meant for fun
as guardians begin to move in righteous anger,
making rules for things they had thought obvious
they reach out, through a web of faithful followers

“Speak out
Speak up
BE HEARD”

Promises
The first one had been a lie,
whispered into my ear as I laid in your arms
trusting that you would be there in the morning,
you were not.

The second one had been an apology,
for all the things you missed as I lived without you,
things you tried to fix with things you thought I needed,
I didn’t need.

The third one had been tired,
you were weighed down by things you would not share with me,
secrets you thought I didn’t know, hadn’t wanted me to know,
but I already did.

The fourth one had been a good bye,
one that you wouldn’t even dare to give to me in person
as I drove with my fist clenched tight over the phone,
and you flew out that very night.

The last one had been begging,
for what I still don’t know, but you begged all the same,
for forgiveness, for caring, for love,
that I will not give.

It will not be the last time,
the last time I wake up in the middle of the night
you sobbing into my ears while I remain dry eyed.

Promises have ruined me
and now I make none.
