Interpretation

by Melissa   Aug 4, 2010


It's not your fault your talk
never found a fondness
for words,
I'm the "supposed writer"-

I should have penned something
beyond the ink

Language has no skeleton,
it can quickly take shape of any form,
perhaps lightening bolts
that somewhat resemble
j
..a....l
g........i
..g....n
e........e
..d....s (our love always seems to be threatening thunder)

I could have rolled letters off my tongue
and watched them scatter about, like critters
to their befitting nook
in my poetry

I ate the alphabet as a child,
you chewed numbers
and spit out black on white,
never blending the two

I prefer to think
in color,
if only I could adorn your logic
with a more prismatic hue

    I didn't really like the jagged lines thing, it actually confused me at first, but then I figured it out...I guess it's different than how people usually use that style to put into their poetry but can't say I liked it. Other than that interesting write, it seemed like a bunch of different ideas in one, that were kind of all different in their own ways...but that made the poem more interesting...Nicely done.
