Real

Poems for poetry class, where I have to pretend to care about Surrealist art etc.

A Young Lady's Adventure

Based on Paul Klee's painting of the same name. Written for poetry class, and therefore completely pointless.

A Young Lady's Adventure

(based on a painting by Paul Klee; also on Paris Hilton) She never meant to do it Never meant to be touched by fame But it reached out to her And she wasn't intelligent enough to turn it down.

Ruminating On Rothko

(After listening to my poetry class trying to deconstruct Rothko) My heart enshrined in Rothko My mood refined by Rothko My soul entombed, defined by Rothko Rothko does not stand assessment

Let Me Write You A Valentine

I clothe you in a coat of words Explicitly simplistic Adjectives are draped over your arms Lighter than you expected They lift you up, my words Which could so easily weigh you down.
