Yeah, I'm on Facebook, but I don't really *do* Facebook. (I'm a twitter addict.) I'm the kinda person that might update my FB status once a week...maybe. And then I like to be all cryptic and non-specific and junk.
But lately I've been writing these mini-poems for my status updates. They're quite random, but like the rest of my poetry, they're all me, unfiltered. Heres a bunch of my latest. I'll post more when I write more.
I dig them (I may try to expand some of these in the future), but I wanna know what you think. Which one's your favorite?
my hesitation was misinterpreted for resignation
when in fact i was suffering from emotional constipation
communication outlets blocked and backed up
but when they get stacked up too tall
these sentiments fall after all
______________________________
blue notes danced across my eyelids
as they slid into place thru my headphones
they always find me alone
lost in imagination
a singular solitary soulful congregation
______________________________
there's no way of knowing
but I say I'm going all the way
at the end of the day
I'm still standing
still running
still flying
the day I stop moving is the day I start dying
______________________________
my heart bleeds steady
so i keeps the pen ready
ink from my soul's well
is the best way 2 tell
my story:
love, loss, passion and glory
_________________________
wading in the stream of dreams
that meets reality at its seam
fed by the waters of creation
that flow 'cross the riverbed of manifestation
boldly treading on an unknown heading
taking to flight into a fearless night
______________________________
marinating in the juice of inspiration set loose
prepare to feast on my masterpiece

The one that begins with Blue notes is already a complete poem. I suggest playing around with the lines. Shortening lines and enjambing others gives it a slightly different meaning.
I refuse to post anymore comments until you come over to my blog and post a comment http://yesterdayspoem.blogspot.com :)
I like "wading in the stream of dreams"...such a poetic image!
