Found...Treasures?

So sometimes I get creative bursts. During those outbreaks I usually get an idea for a poem or something...last year that happened a lot, and I rarely had paper or pens on me, so I would write part of it in a note application on my phone, and would just hope to remember the rest.

Towards the tail end of the summer I decided that was unacceptable. I found a very homemade-bohemian-looking journal that was the perfect size to carry around in my purse. Unfortunately, my brilliant idea did not stick and I just recently found the journal in one of my desk drawers. I did, however, manage to write three, uh...interesting....poems in that journal.

It's too bad that I didn't keep that up throughout the year, it would have been interesting to have a journal of poem inspired by the first year of college. I'm going to try to do that this year, and as a reminder and an act of ignition, I'm going to post the three "poems" I did write in the journal.


Poem #1 "Untitled"
It's time to organize the clutter
Make calm of the havoc
Understand the rambling words
Create magic

Like that song I can never remember
Poetic phrases keep returning
I keep forgetting the silly ones
and miss-quoting the good ones.

Poem #2 "Untitled"
The rumbling in my stomach was proof
Proof that one cannot live on carrots alone
I couldn't live on carrots alone, but that doesn't excuse what followed
I inhaled the refrigerator
I took no prisoners in the war against perishables
First I went for the peanut butter, then the lunch meats
Followed by several fruits and a large selection of cheese
I ended with a cup of tea on an uncomfortably full stomach.

Poem #3 "Untitled"
I use to be able to sleep, but not anymore
My eyes are sore
It's starting to pour.
