Poet of the Month-January

saphire23- December 16th, 2011

untitled

never wanted to be

always fought to be

me

left alone on the side of the road

left to be

me

looking in the mirror

begging please anyone but

me

all alone

facing the world

me

despair and pain

always one in the same

me

nothing is as it seems to be

willing it wont let it be

me

always the brunt of the joke

always the last to know

me

can't stand it anymore

I'm walking away

me

wouldn't it be nice

looking back and seeing

me

Starting off the new year a little late. I just needed some time to recoup my faculties. Congratulations to Saphire23 for the first poem of the month to kick off the new year. Yay!

Congratulations to svenkelsey, the default drunken poet of the month. I know you can do better. If you can read it you can write it.

Happy Halloween, you can take your mask off now. Score another one for BonnieJean. Congratulations. You are turning into a sure bet. I'm putting my money down on her.

Just got this one in under the wire. When I saw MassiveWanker74 I thought, dirty name, I might have to do some deleting for the kiddos. But as I explored further I realized it was legit. I chose Popcorn and Vodka and not because I like popcorn. It made me think of martini's. Dirty martinis, to be specific, dirty martinis with extra olives. The night practically writes itself. ohh, Yummy. So heres to dirty martinis and dirty names. Congratulations MassiveWanker74.

What an excellent poem from BonnieJean. Check it out. I wish she would send in more poems. I read it several times and came up with the same emotions each time.So congratulations on the new Poet of the Month, BonnieJean.

I don't know, I smell a winner and so early in the month. I was really touched by the most recent poem. The rest of you are going to be hard pressed to surpass this one. Perhaps there is on of you out there with the temerity to try. I don't like to be prejudiced but sometimes the heartstrings are pulled in just the right way.

A little late again. I've been swimming with the mermaids again. I didn't get a tear except in my own eye from those 3-D glasses. Congratulations to MNash again for a lovely poem. Some body ought to write a new poem or I'll have to cover four months with MNash. Which isn't bad but wouldn't be fair to all the other people with poems in their heads.
