can't begin to understand.stand spread eagle, everything stretched,  in the rain that you can't even hear  because the thunder is too loud  and the lightening too bright.  the whole sky is lit up with something  you can't even begin to understand  and your mind feel the same way.   
each drop of rain that hits your skin  feels like a slap in the face  and a gentle caress and you don't care  to figure out which is which.  most of your skin is uncovered  and your body drinks in this storm  like it's the only nourishment  that you can stomach.   
a shriek of laughter comes vaulting   can't begin to understand.

taste this lovehandsome green eyed boy smiling through his lashes at me;  he was caught paying half attention  to the conversation directed at him,  half attention caught perhaps by me  his equivalent green eyed girl.  the sly motion of raising on tip-toes my body  so that my mouth can pleasantly connect with his,  lips of the softest skin flickered over by a gentle tongue,  oh, i can taste this love!  my movements are rewarded  
and strong fingertips grasp my body, pinching skin over ribs,  to make sure this is real.  my fingertips stroll lightly like fairy feet right before flight,  creep up taste this love

the planes that pass.here i lie skin exposed on frost bitten ground  in a field cushioned by the white that coats everything these days.  forget my peripheral vision,  i lie on my back so i can only look up.  from here i can see the sky  where it domes so it can touch the trees.  this is just airspace,  tangible, you can buy and sell it. and they do.  they did.  look straight up and the plane that is passing  reveals its belly to you.  i see the detail as it crawls  through the airspace, not the sky,  so close to me.  reach up and i feel as though i could touch..  one goes by every ten min the planes that pass.

elise.little girl sitting with pink flower-print flats  fidgeting in suggestive silence  that she does not want to be here  and her eighteen year old body is a required presence  in this uncomfortable chair’n’desk combo  at eleven o’clock in the morning,  
not even half way though this general education class.   
her thoughts are on the swings  which we are destined for  after the let go from this traditional torture.   
her sippy-cup filled with Juicy Juice  sits pleasantly on the desk top,  its pink Disney princesses smiling at the class  as she presses her elise.

AllThePerfectWordsSeemSoWrongI don't know how you do it  how you get me wrapped overtime  your just so clever  with all your tremendous words  and perfect smile  your quirky little sayings  I wish I could beat you  just once I wish I could understand  I would love to rise above, be the champion  of the game you've so cleverly concocked  Your hands tremble as they gently clasp mine  and you tell me, this is our chance  just one more chance  and you'll make me the happiest girl in the world  like your some kind of prize in my eyes  do you think, just like that  with just a simple gesture, like AllThePerfectWordsSeemSoWrong

Tips For the NoviceTips For The Novice  
 
It's an all-too common occurrence on my periodic forays into the world of internet poetry - writing weakened by a lack of fundamental knowledge concerning the essence of poetry writing. There are no rules set in stone about creative writing. The writer that strikes new trails can make a lasting impact on the world of poetry, but the chances of a writer stumbling upon golden words without a solid knowledge base are slim to none. The following tips for novice writers are intended to help shore up those fundamentals, to help the young writer breathe the essence of life into their poems, and to better share that Tips For the Novice

this weekend was culture shock.
beautiful weather, flipflops and hippy skirts.
dirty feet and independence.

all things that i needed so desperately and got. and now my feet are rough with anticipation of bare feet all summer and my shoulders are pink with anticipated sunburn. summer needs to come as soon as possible so that i can learn who i am again. i've forgotten in the last couple months. i know i can make it, but i need to remember why i want to survive again.

i need my friends who care to listen to me and love hugging and accept the physicality that i expect.
and i need to learn how to find that here.

give me the chance and i can make this what i need it to be. but don't snatch it away before i've learned anything.

Hey Brenn Brenn! I've started using my page again. Well....sort of. I just feel really useless because no one comes to look at my page. So I just wanted to make it known that it still exists and everything. There's not much on it but, you know. I'm working on it.

Love you!
