I'm an aspiring fiction writer and poet -- lots of experience writing news and copy writing and book editing, but am just now focusing on writing to please myself.
First poem I wrote @ 13 or 14
Dirt
Dirt - ah!
That dusty, dirty,
filthy rot
That makes you feel
so tired and hot.
Where would we be
if it weren't for dirt?
I fear our tummies
all would hurt.
And what would happen
if our dirt blew away?
We'd be down on our knees
begging it to stay.
We'd cry so hard
I venture we'd bust
then die
and just
return
to
dust.
