BEDA Day 19 | Poetry. I suck at it.

So last night I didn't fall asleep until 3 am. My brain just couldn't turn off. And while I was trying to get my brain to shut up so I could sleep, I was thinking about insomnia. Which is ironic. Thinking about insomnia is part of what kept me awake so late.

But anyways. I decided that not being able to sleep wasn't a bad thing, for once. I have two partly formed characters for A.M.O.R.E. now. And I wrote the beginnings of two really shitty poems. Like REALLY shitty. I seriously can not write poetry. I even wrote one about sucking at poetry. XD Actually, while writing it I was thinking about spoken word, so that's what this would be if I ever made it remotely good. Which I doubt.

Poetry. I suck at it.
I can't rhyme
or metaphor...metaphorize?
Imagery and alliteration are too much for me
Irony. This is a poem
Sort of

Lacking a plot
ink-induced vomit on a perfect page
STOP!
I know you're begging me
to put you out of your misery.

HA! It amuses me.
