Summer words

If you think these are bad, wait till you see the ones I wrote for French class.

ever felt like
eating salmon?
someone once told me
they were good for me
i do believe them
but
i hate the sharp brittle
things
sticking in their tummy
and now
in my throat.

Purpose
you're just a prophet with
a broken neck
always looking upwards
like there's more in sky
besides stars and clouds.
grow another head and
i'd be happy to break your
neck another way
so you can see
where i'm headed.

On the plane
there is
a life vest under your seat
don't worry
it's not the boogieman
and it certainly isn't me
see?
a life vest doesn't choke you
with worry
(im waiting down there)
a life vest just waits for you
under your seat.
if you're lucky you'll never use it.

Just a handful of poetry from last summer. Thought I'd put it up here.

I guess I was hoping the poems would be about summer...but hey, whatever works.
Are these for a class too?
Bring on the French Class poems....though, I suppose since they're in french I won't be able to read them anyway....so I can tell you how good they are based on faith.

No, these weren't really for a class, this was just something I did on the plane over to Canada.
I love summer. Maybe I'll write something about it. Sorry if it wasn't really what you're looking for... but as for the French poems, I'd rather stick to plain English, more people will read. But thank you.

Sherye, you're a poet? I think I may jog my way over to your blog....please feel free to scan through my poems and let me know what you think...I should be posting at least one or two a week.

People are allergic to poetry on this site? What makes you say that?

I mean, me personally? I don't enjoy most of it. Not to say I don't enjoy some, I even become obsessed with some.

But, I'd say alot of people on here dig poetry.
