BacheloretteShow poetry

As you may already know, I haven't written anything in a while.
I'm currently suffering from a bout of writer's block.
This doesn't mean I haven't been creative while away from Microsoft Word.

"If freedom of speech means anything at all, it is the freedom to say things that people do not want to hear."
        ---George Orwell

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Political Correctness is unConstitutional.



I wish I could act like my poems:
                  sassy
                  absurd
                  confident

THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
CAMPAIGN TO SAVE DARFUR:

http://www.instantkarma.org/InstantKarma.html

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
--John Lennon, "Imagine"

Things about me that may concern you (as a potential reader):
I'm female
The majority of my poetry is free verse
I'm not really political
I like long, helpful, analytical comments

I cannot promise very much.
I give you the images I know.
     --Anne Sexton, "The Fortress"
                    *
And I've written pages upon pages
trying to rid you from my bones.
     --Colin Meloy (of The Decemberists), "The Engine Driver"
                    *
No man alive has earned the right to save me.
     --Finn Andrews (of The Veils), "Advice for Young Mothers to Be"
                    *
Sometimes I can't remember nothing
Sometimes it shadows everything
Some Sundays it's as loud as thunder
In the morning when the telephone rings
Clearer days in some distant forecast
Dark days in the present past
In the blur of some phantom widescreen
I'll let go of what I never had
     --Matthew Ryan, "Everybody Always Leaves"

                    *     *

                    *
My pop-on sparkles
suicidally pop-off
and catapult like meteors
across the room
to a shag carpet death.

(These words won’t stick.)

                    *

All I offer are epitaphs
and scores of gaunt men
who call themselves my words.

    I took my poem out of the contest as I felt a smidgen intimidated by the other work posted. I featured my poem to get some feedback and it seemed I was the only one who got it...Ha! I am truly not contest material yet but love a challenge, so your contest did inspire me to pull some feelings from being onboard a ship in the navy out and I thank you for that. Good luck with your contest however I believe it may be some time before I actually enter one again. I just play with words... there is some real phenominal talent on this site and I do enjoy reading others work including yours. Thank you for sharing and again good luck. Terissa

    Well, not just "flirtatious carp," but "flirtatiously modest and shy carp."

    I get more comments on this username than any I've had before.

    Coy koi...as in, "flirtatious fish?" lmao...sorry, I'm sleep deprived, and found that hilarious.
    I was suitably impressed by "Knothole Perspective," so I had to come look at some more of your work...and here I am...
    and off I go...
