    Jennifer wrote me the following poem in a creative flurry. I think it reminds me of something I read...

    Masterpiece

    You’ll see the horizon

    Even though it isn’t there

     

    They get bigger as you get closer

    They go on forever

    Will you touch them?

     

    They are brown and tan

    Old religions and druids

    Nobody can know

    And there is no fabric to hold it

    To the landscape

    I’ll say something

    And you’ll answer


    We can wash clovers. Believe it. Believe we can.

    Into the wavering green and out of the sunny edged forest

    Only the worse of games. The most evil intentions.

    Everything all at once

    The Butchers’ desires.

    Hateful and seething. We are the worst.

     

    There is nothing here. Empty.

    They won’t remember us.

    Because You Made Me

    I am new to this but once I decide which color scheme defines me, I promise to post mundane messages. Honest. Here is a ready-made entry: a bad poem I wrote for Valentine's Day. It reads as follows.

    Because You Made Me

    By Patrick Smith


    Humid sighs descend

    And skim the uniform green

    Which comprehends

    The foreseen routine.

     

    Droplets form and fall,

    Leaves tremble and flip

    As their undersides enthrall

    Each collapsing drip.

     

    This routine recurs and recurs

    But it never deters

    The droplet or the leaf.

    I think "Proliferation" is a better title for the poem. However, some may criticize the abstraction.
