I posted a poem I made some time ago, "A Child at Heart" and made a few more since then. Enjoy my bad writing! (Criticism always appreciated)

Like Cotton Candy


Crushing, smothering
Come near
I can't- the very idea sounds suffocating
Try
Why would I?
You might feel complete
How can a sea of cotton candy- pink
Soft, but sticky, and much too sweet,
complete? How would I even think?
It is human
I am human- that's not something I hide
It's a lovely feeling
To sweet tooths love is appealing
To others, it belongs off to the side

This next one isn't really about romance/aromanticism or relationships in general, not necessarily? But it can be interpreted as such I guess.

 

The ocean is a friend


The ocean is a friend.
Strong and constantly changing
Its power leaves us shaking and shivering,
Yet when we dive
It is most refreshing.

 

The lake is similar to the ocean.
It is cool and alive
Yet more calm and safe.

No one longs for the lake
Only for the sea
What could it be,
That creates such divide?


The adventurer, like the sailor,
Ventures to see where such unknown depths hide
But when they return to land,
It is to a lake beyond a bank of sand

 

The answer is simple,
The ocean may be an adventurous friend
But the lake is a home

This next one was inspired by A Streetcar Named Desire, as well as by my own experiences.

 

Don't be Stanley


Stella! Stella there you are!
There goes my shining star!
Let's play and chat
And watch that show with the hat
Stanley come, sit with us
Why would you find this tedious?

 

Stella! Stella! Come and see
Oh what a stunning existence is she
Oh, not today?
Well that's alright, maybe later, what do you say?

 

Stella! Stella! How've you been?
Are you tossing my letters in the bin?
Oh I'm only joking
You wouldn't do such a thing!

 

Blanche, oh Blanche, don't you see?
I've been spending some time with Stanley
I hope to meet you soon!
Oh, wait, it just hit me like a harpoon
That's when Stanley and I have a date
I hope 10 days won't be too late

 

Stella! Stella! Of course not!
Gives me time to try new dresses I bought
We'll have a girls' night out!
With exhiliration we will shout

 

Stella! Stella! There you are!
I missed you, my little star
Oh and Stanley, you are here?
I thought I had made it clear
That you were not to come

 

Blanche, dear little Blanche, how naïve are you?
To think a woman would not bring her husband too.

Honey, I'm an editor for our school's literary magazine, and let me tell you, I would weep tears of joy if this was the kind of submission we got. xx

@Anony-moose I hope you have other spaces that you share these in the world, internet or otherwise. If you have a blog where you post your work, I would love to know about it 

 

Keep writing! :)

@iwpseudonym Thanks!! Although that's kind of sad (not really, it just means people submitting have more space for improvement haha), I'm glad to know my writing skills aren't 100% trash XD

 

@kaseythefairy Unfortunately I don't, since I rarely write (been doing it more often though!)
