Unsuspecting

sometimes I crash into you, headfirst

pieces of you appear

a never ending desire, a thirst

stealing away my cheer


a streak of emotion

a shadow in the corner of my thoughts

a whirlwind of precaution

a trail of painful "connect the dots"


frequently caught in an unsuspecting place

like wrapped in another's embrace

or daydreaming off into space

music can almost always conjure your face


this heavy wall of memories

surrounding, suffocating, taunting

never knew that loving you 

could be so haunting


the shame of admitting

that after all this time

you are still capable

of wreaking havoc on my mind

Word Challenge Poem!

The votes are in! The words have been chosen! I proudly announce to you-

*insert drum roll here*

THE "WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE WORD?" CHALLENGE!

 

For those of you who don't know, recently on my facebook status, I asked everyone to share their favorite word.. claiming that I would then use ALL of the words in a poem.. the folowing section is the words that I was given to work with.. (and I added definitions to some of the odd ones haha)

 

 

*bumptious- offensively self-assertive, *lackadaisical- idle or indolent especially in a dreamy way, *grace, *ambivalent- uncertain or unable to decide about what course to follow, *savanners, *shenanigans- reckless or malicious behavior that causes discomfort or annoyance in others, *discombobulated, *"the clothes make the man", *potato, *beautiful, *scrumdidilyumpsiouse- really delicious or really marvelous, *supercalifragilisticexpialidocious- atoning for educability through delicate beauty, *pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis- a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs', *ashla, *platypus, *badonkadonk- buttocks of exceptional quality and bounce, *"Brandon Beckleheimer is awesome"

 

 

 "The Clothes Make The Man"

Once upon a time

In a land nearly far away

A platypus and potato

Went out to play

 

The discombobulated couple

Decided to blow a bubble

It was not very supple

Because they had no lips

 

In a lackadaisical haze

At Savanners they decided to gaze

They found her rather bumptious

And her pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis 

To be scrumdidilyumpsiouse

 

Next in the line of grace

Was Ashla's beautiful face

Her shenanigans were precocious

And caused them to exclaim, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"

 

They decided to play with an opossum

In their ambivalent phase

He told them that Brandon Beckleheimer is awesome...

Just look at how much his badonkadonk weighs!

 

So they recruited him for their clan

And ironically named it "The Clothes Make The Man"

 

THE END :3
