Procrastination Poem (a poem)

Procrastination Poem
Written February 24th, 2012
I do not want to do homework!
Two essays by Monday, you ask
Such a tedious, boring task
On America’s smoggy industrial histories
On top of worksheets full
Of logarithms and matrices
A paper dancing with symbols and numbers
With every new Pre-Calc term I learn
I just feel excessively dumber!

Oh, the hours I waste, toiling away
With headaches and pots of coffee to achieve
Stellar grades on material to be forgotten a year from today
I have great purple mountains
Against prismacolor sunsets on my mind
Visions of summer paradises with sparkling fountains
Begging to be written on any scrap I can find
Fantastical worlds of crystalline imagery
Powerful renditions of a childhood memory

But alas! I have homework!

Opposites Attract (a poem)

Opposites Attract
Written April 1st, 2011
Pristine white
Neat, orderly
Blue lines across
Pink lines down
Perfect, untouched
Pure
Inviting, tempting

Night black
Shapely curves
Sharp lines
Uneven, random
No perfect repetitions
Messy
Creative, meaningful

Pen tip presses
On smooth white paper
What was previously
Empty
Pristine
Is now
Filled
Charmingly askew

This neat page; my messy scrawl
A perfect pair.

My Addiction (a poem)

My Addiction
Written March 8th, 2011
My pen is the portal
A wormhole from my mind
To this page
It helps me find
A way to express
My imagination's stage

My pen fits in my hand
Like it was made to be there
Creation suits my fingers best
Converting everything I think
To solid tangible ink
My heart spilled on paper

I do not know if it's genetics
Ink hereditarily pulsing in my veins
Or some random aesthetics
Graced to me by an unknown power
All I know is I can't stop
My thoughts from blooming on this page like a flower
                                                               Writing is my addiction
