"The rain fell hard on the roofs that day
You telephoned from far away
'I see the ocean from my room'
All I could say was, 'Are you coming home soon?'

The static whispered in my ear
And in a moment, your voice was clear
'I need some time,' you said to me
That's when I knew you were gonna make me lonely.

You were gonna make me wish for a time like before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away."

I dig:
Stars, Rilo Kiley, Postal Service, Matt Nathanson, Frou Frou, Dashboard Confessional, Badly Drawn Boy, Broken Social Scene, Jill Sobule, Kathleen Edwards, Death Cab for Cutie, and Hilary Duff. I'm not gonna lie.


When I grow up, I'm gonna be the best-dressed starving poet ever.

    Hello. Recently I have decided to hold a
    contest as an " Invite only ". I have been reading
    your poems for quite awhile and thought this
    would be a good way of getting to know you better
    as a writer. I would very much appreciate an entry.
    It will aid in the hope to extend my commenting
    on other writers , Such as yourself.

    Thanks for your time .
    James

    P.S. If you would not like your name
    included on the contest list , Please IM me
    and I'll remove it. I don't want to offend
    anyone by this contest or make anyone
    uncomfortable.

    I think a better idea would be to make a clear association between poetry and the sort of adolescent garbage that's regurgitated over and over again on here. Encourage figurative language, etc. Someone should explain that spieling over puppy love or suicide isn't poetry, it's just whining.

    A while ago, you won second place in a one-liners contest. ("I don't want a Romeo; I want an Icarus.") With that in mind, please chek out and possibly join if you wish, my own one-liners contest. Consider this a formal invite. Just look up contest poems by k-dense (myself), and you'll find it, since it's the only contest I've begun thus far.-Curtis Meyer
    PS Please feel free to read any/all poetry I've posted on this site under the k-dense domain name.
