Put Away That Notebook MAG
A book of rhymes finds its sunshine
in the back street of my mind.
Decides deciduously to shed shackles
like leaves of limitations, and a pen
punches out first principles
and punctuates the playfulness of
my phrases, yes,
writing is loss of identity, tying
up trademark tunes and impregnating the wombs of
imagination with godlike inspirations.
Meaning, breathing, seeming to be bleeding
but leading right back to the beginning:
A book of rhymes finds its sunshine
in the back street of my mind.
Decides deciduously to shed shackles
like leaves of limitations, but
all you can see is that I’m
not paying attention
in your
class.

wow! I loved this. Your use of language is really beautiful, and doesn't feel affected at all. I especially love the twist at the end...It seems that it is just going to be a poem about poetry, but then at the end you realize that it is about so much more. Again, love it!
This is so well done and extremely relatable for everyone on this site I'd imagine. I know I've been there, and it still never fails to amaze me that some teachers actually think that watching movies all day is more important than writing... (Personal experience) If you have time could you check out my poem Sowing Poppies, please?
