❛ the lazy writers ❜

[Ranger of the North]

Skinny. The slam poem.

SKINNY
I love my body.
We all know that's a lie.
You complain you are fat,
No gaps between your thighs.
You say cover girls don't eat.
You could got a little longer.
You say you want perfect skin.
A flat stomach.
Gaps between your thighs wider than a canyon.
But this is you.
I love to make constellations in your freckles.
And sometimes I see the furture in your eyes.
Your storm gray eyes.
If skinny is beautiful,
then you are skinny.

I like it! It's got an awesome message

[AriDeZu]

Can I do one like that too?

[Ranger of the North]

Guys, if you can you should think about joining Writers Haven!
We're all writers, and it's an awesome community—only, it's been real quiet lately
But you should come!
It's quite small yet, so stories, poems, and songs and things are easy to find—and they're seen

[birbmememaster24]

I do like the message I made, I like to write things that take a minute to process too, like

I slid my legs over the bridge
And dove into the sky
Until the breath in my chest left,
and I was left cold and wet

^That was someone jumping off a bridge into the water, which reflected the sky.

I amde a writer's haven account, its juliebean223

@Ranger I'd probably have to ask my mom's permission before I did that. And truth be told, I probably won't do that 'cause I'll keep forgetting about it =_=' . . . .

[AriDeZu]

That's true, you would.
Here's a poem I wrote.

Tall but short,
Wide but narrow,
Thin but not,
Used then ignored,
Shiny and dull,
Please help me be happy again.

What do you guys think?

[DeMaizu]

I think it's very short, and you need to put an extra line between the end of the poem and the question. It's a little confusing. But other than that - it sounds almost like a riddle! *squints* . . . . Is it?

[BucketORandomness]

If it's a riddle, my guess is a short story! >^.^<

[AriDeZu]

It is a riddle, and also not. I had a mirror in mind when I wrote it.
