I give up.

I really can't write poetry. Not sure why not. Everyone else here can, apparently. Somehow, my mind will start flying off on crazy tangents, leaving me an unfinished poem with a half-assed title.

So I've given up. I will write in the form of stanza's, instead of paragraphs for the remainder of this post.

At least this
Makes my writing look
Poetic
Doesn't it?

Okay
Maybe that wasn't too hard.
But
Look how choppy
This not a poem is.
No rhyme.


Barf.

That was short lived. Shorter lived than a fish I got for earth day when I was 7. I think my brother dropped it. Still. Can't write pretty things with hidden meaning.

My attempt. "Her eyes were sultry and open." Which I'm pretty sure is more of an oxymoron than a sentence with hidden meaning.

Even my pictures lack poetic justice. For them, a cool rock is merely that. A cool rock. They lack surreal qualities. Which is why I like them.

I'm blaming my inability to write on my favorite classes. Science and Math. Nothing poetic about them...
2+2=4
4=2+x
2x=4
x=2

Not poetic. Stanza like though.

Not sure where this post went. Pretty sure I meant to write a poem here. Now? Can you consider
This
Even mildly
Poetic?

I think not.
