i think it is good to warn people in advance about the circumstances that will cause you to bite them and i think that having given that warning it is good to follow through when the time comes

From the prompt: Write a poem about language in which you make up a word.

Kerflugleshlog

The word for when my brain doesn’t know what its doing And when I speak, the wrong words come out Because I’m thinking both too fast and not at all; My brain did a kerflugleshlog. In the kerflugleshlog, my thoughts are stewing Until, long later, they process and emerge into doubt My words emerge on the paper as a messy scrawl And they emerge from my mouth as nonsense dialogue.

Time has erased parts of me, great swaths washed away Like rain has erased the chalk on a sidewalk The colors washed off by the water, but rain makes way For the artist to make something new on the empty canvas.

My favorite color was invented by a Swedish German man, But if I found it today, I’d think twice before I open the can Because this color’s chemical formula is copper arsenite And I would much rather live to see tomorrow night.

Write a poem about your favorite color. Don't mention the color by name.

My Thoughts on "Good Enough"

“GOOD ENOUGH is NOT good enough. You need to be BETTER than GOOD ENOUGH.” - I have heard this too many times.

Good is defined as something to be desired or approved of. | Good is having the qualities required for a particular role. Enough means as much or as many as is required. One would assume that together, they mean something positive. Like having completed a task satisfactorily, or in an acceptable manner. The use of the word “acceptable” implies that the work is accepted by others. “Good enough” means that the work is good, and that it is enough. “Good enough” does not, in any way, mean that the work is bad. If it is bad, the work would not be termed “good enough.”

I’m trying to apply this knowledge to my life. However, I am struggling to do this. Likely because I’m having a hard time accepting myself. And by extension, my work. So why can’t I believe that I am truly “good enough”?

The Dining Room Table

When I was younger, we had this big old table It was wooden with a pane of tempered glass on top. One night, that glass exploded randomly and without any sort of warning

We used it for a couple more years, with a tablecloth But it was never the same as it was, in my mind The table died when the glass exploded randomly and without any sort  of warning

And now we just keep it in the “formal dining room” Which is just a fancy way of saying “We don’t use it.” I think it’s because the glass exploded randomly and without any sort of warning.

A Thousand Times

I love being alive. I want to cry over that scene in a movie I want to laugh as I sing my favorite song I want to feel the pain of losing a friend I want to scream into my pillow at night I want to sprint as fast as I can outside I want to chat as I do the dishes in the bathroom I want to dance as I put away my laundry I want to worry about the score of my exam I want to jump off of a dock into the lake I want to sob myself to sleep at night I want to float away as I meditate I want to shake behind the show’s curtain I want to be heartbroken and happy I want to feel anxiety and adrenaline I want to be sad and to be serene I’d live a thousand times to do it again And every single one would be just as magical as the first I love being alive.
