[bodytext] => Streaks staring from the mirror As the custodial serviceman wipes them away Bite my lip to capture a whisper And no one was even listening to what I had to say So with a giant step backwards A glance to make sure everything is alright A double backflip to triple gainer I got a 8.5 because my left knee was too far right It is quite alright when I think about it In fact I am quite pleased with my score When I consider more extreme alternatives I really couldn't ask for more I could ask for the sunshine To not make its way so successfully In through my window after sunrise Even though being blind makes things seem wonderfully Incorrect; not incorrect for a reason But for the instance that chance should reappear Hope is for suckers, the hard man wins in the end So what else is there to fear? Like writing yourself a memo That you really know you will ignore With a picture on the table And a pleasant knock on the door Calmer than a secret Even before it is told Like a hypothetical situation That just recycles and grows ever so old My mind is just a filter And the smoke fills the inner chamber of my brain Tar bleeds through my ear drums But I am in no lack of pain I become a story A half fond half torturous thought Something not quite priceless But like a family watch that can't be bought I am condensed into pictures I hope they got a picture of my 8.5-er I can swim with the best of them But I am the world's worst Olympic diver [comments] => 0 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 74 [informant] => Exodus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => surreal )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
