So, for English I have to "write a poem in response to the poem we just read, oh and you should be doing the draft in your journals, OK? Oh, and the draft is do tomorrow!" Poetry, as much as a loathe it mostly, shouldn't be forced like this, do it by tomorrow, and by the way that class if first block too, so no doing it on my spare. Poetry should just flow, and there shouldn't be a deadline, a given topic, poetry is kinda opposite that in some ways, because there is no set formation, topic, or deadline, that, to my understanding and knowledge, is what poetry should be, no? Well anyways, despite all that, I still have to do it, and that sucks because right now I'm feeling particularly uninspired, and I figured I'd try and get inspired by writing this... I feel total and complete writers block. All i have so far is .....ahem......
Poetry is
to me
as
And uh yeah that's pretty much it! I have no idea what should come after the as. I've been sitting here for half an hour trying but I just can't, but I have to do it, because "I was feeling particularly uninspired last night" isn't really a good excuse, and I'm not planning on using it, and I strongly advise you out there never to use that excuse in any situation. Anyways this is a poem that I now love, (and I have to write a response poem to,) by Regie Gibson, you may have heard it, it's called Alchemy(peace out):
