You light my fuse
And to protect you
I explode on paper

Is that Haiku or summin?

Either way, you watched some porn, didn't wanna shpongle on your monitor, so you came in a napkin?

Ah well, I hope it's left open to the reader, I really liked my analysis.

Got more?

Haha that's what writing is all about, imo. Self interpretation.

I wrote this after my ex cheated on me with my best friend...
It's not very good.

- - - -

I wrote these words
only for you
Etched
blood sweat and tears
into the fabric of this paper
Black ink
an extension
of my desire
an extension
of my love
an extension
of my hope
I wrote for you
I wrote to you
I wrote you

And yet you ran from me.

You took my words away
and you discarded them.

I have no quantative method of saying wether that's a good poem or not.

But I liked it.

I think you could do away with everything after "I wrote you," but somehow I don't think that's how poems work haha.

How long have you been writing these?

Thanks man I appreciate it.
I thought the same but I try not to edit my poems, just write them as they come, and let them be, yanno?

I've been writing since my sophomore year(2004) with no real regularity or consistency.
Just when the mood strikes. I've probably got about 40 of varying quality under my belt.

saying that you liked it means that it is a good poem. any other criteria for judging a poem is totally bullshit
