The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 6/28/08

[BlueIris]

"what she was wearing"

this is my suicide dress
she told him
I only wear it on days
when I'm afraid
I might kill myself
if I don't wear it

you've been wearing it
every day since we met
he said

and these are my arson gloves

so you don't set fire to something?
he asked

exactly

and this is my terrorism lipstick
my assault and battery eyeliner
my armed robbery boots

I'd like to undress you he said
but would that make me an accomplice?

and today she said I'm wearing
my infidelity underwear
so don't get any ideas

and she put on her nervous breakdown hat
and walked out the door

3. My dear BlueIris...

I'm sorry you're not getting more responses...

But these poems, for the most part, are just too far out of the mainstream for most folks to really "get."

It's good that you're exposing us to them, nevertheless...

We all need to be stretched!

This one is interesting, but weird...

Thank you!

:hi:

4. Funny, I thought this one was actually a little more in the mainstream

than some of the others I've put up lately.

Don't worry, will get back to "BlueIris, per usual" soon. Although that may get me even fewer views than ever before!
