Poems

One of my courses this semester is a creative writing course, and it's probably my favorite class, mostly because of the people in the class, but also because it's such a fun and stress-free atmosphere.  I always look forward to going to it and to doing my homework (crazy, I know...).  We just recently started our poems unit and I just thought I would share two of the poems I wrote.

This one was inspired by my blog :) and I had to make it a picture so that you could get the full effect.  Click on it to make it bigger/readable.

(ps. it's an acrostic)

This last one I actually wrote freshman year for another class, but I was trying to be green and recycle.  

The New York Times

The Riddle we can guess

--Sometimes--

But other times

We don't know 

22 down,

A four-letter word

For "first murder victim"

Second letter is "b"

And it's only Monday

Oh--Abel

Based on the feedback from my class, most people felt like there should be a bigger religious message since it's about Cain and Abel.  But there really isn't and I'm okay with that...
