All The Reasons I Shouldn't Write Poetry: A Poem By Me
Location
All the reasons I shouldn't write poetry.
Number one
I-don't-fucking-like-poetry 99.8% of the time
It pisses me off
And I swear if I hear one more fucking poem about lovey dovey bullshit
From a girl
Who hasn't even been dating the boy the poem is about more than three days
I'll probably write an angry poem about it
Number two
I can not rhyme
I know poems don't have to rhyme
But I feel like maybe
More than three poems I have written should rhyme
I mean most poems rhyme and my poems are just like
"Fuck you and you and you and I actually want to fuck you"
Number three
I have no sense of rhythm to my speaking or writing
I am the most stereotypical white girl
I have no rhythm
At all, I can't dance, I can not tap out a beat.
I can't read a poem out loud without wondering to myself
"What happened the beautiful musical rhythm these words had in my head?"
Number four
I am not a fucking poet.
Unless I'm drunk
But we all think we are poets when we are drunk.
It is like everything in the world gains a few new adjectives.
Which is great until you use the word asinine to describe your professor in a paper
And forget to delete it before turning it in
Number five
My poetry as a general rule don't make sense
I mean they all start out fuck brilliant comments of society
Then they some how morph into these creepy fucking lyrical messes
About how much I love my boyfriends ass
Or how much I hate cold coffee
Unless it has white chocolate mocha creamer
Number six
I am too ADD to care
About anything
For a long enough period of time
To write a deceit
Fucking poem abo-
One time I caught my hair on fire.
Number seven
I hate almost everything
I hate people
I hate that song you are listening to, probably
I hate cars
I hate cats
Seriously fucking hate cats.
Number eight
I love to damn hard.
And when you love anything you love like it is your whole damn world
And are limited to the words of the English language
It is hard to put the words in the right order to describe
Bliss absolute heartedly whole soul imploding
Feeling of a first kiss
Number nine
I have inside jokes inside my poetry.
I don't know why
Maybe three people in the world
Will understand why I mixed up all the words up six lines ago
But I fucking put it there
Just to laugh when I go reread this
Number ten
I use variations the word 'fuck' like a comma
I fucking really fucking have to fucking use fuck this fucking much
I can't fucking help my fucking self
Fuck is just such a fucking useful word.
Fuck I wrote another fucking poem
Oh well, I almost kind of like it
Fuck it I'll be a poet tonight
