she wrote a haiku
about the person she loved
the haiku ended
roses are red violets are blue
i loved you do you love me too?
i LOVEd you
[ love or loved ]
there is a difference
i picked dandelions in the field
saving every wish for
y o u
i didn’t know if it would be worth it
but i risked it all for //you//
catch me wearing black on a sunny day
trying to keep hundreds of miles away
from the heat of your existence
but black absorbs heat

a haiku for love
she tried for the second time
but a match was lit//
she tries to write love poems
she tries to send him the love letter
but flames caught
sparks
F L E W
[blue eyes in dim light]
that’s what lit the match
. . .
she wanted something different
something different from you
attempt 1: F
attempt 2: C-
attempt 3: A+
she tried something new
she divided
she revised
she multiplied
she ended with a sum
a difference
a solution that led back to you
she wrote…
A
B
A
B
does that count as a poem?
no emoji came close to the feelings she felt
😄😤🫠🥰🥱👍👎🤧⚠️💕
she wanted new perspectives
she took cold showers
she drove in silence
she wrote left handed
she gave loose hugs
but everything came back to
Y.O.U.
she tried to rhyme
but she ran out of time
the rhyme got shredded
something she had always dreaded
it started with Y and ended with OU

haiku number 3
it got lost in the forest
no one to find it
does she make sense of herself
all she ever tries to do is write
poems
inside of
poems
tell her she’s different
because she tried it all
different writing
different words
different songs
different art
-tell her she’s different-
so she can finally end
what you started.

when i read this i got chills and i felt like this class started to matter for a second and poetry started to matter for a second and trying to figure out how to say things started to matter for a second
this was so lovely and #different and
when i was 16 i went snowboarding for the first time and i went with my friend justin and he was really good at snowboarding but he rode with me on the bunny hill for an hour cuz i just couldn’t get the hang of it but finally i said let’s go to the mountain even though i wasn’t ready and i ended up getting a concussion and had to be driven down the mountain on a sled behind a 4-wheeler
but just before i crashed, i was going so fast
i didn’t know how to stop, i just flew
downhill, faster and faster
it was beautiful
i know this sounds dramatic, but that’s sort of how i felt when i read this blog post

This is so good, I love what you’ve written here! All those feelings when no matter what you do, there’s just that one “you” you can’t get off your mind, try as you might. You wrote this so well, great style!
