(Any comments and critiques are as welcome as always. This is a different style than my usual, so I thought I'd share to test the waters.)


To a poem that I met in the shower last week:

Oh bravo! Very funny and clever! I thought I was the only one who gets 'assaulted' by poems in the shower.

oh me too!

very relatable and clever! I like the easy and free style. A certainly interactive piece!

Very funny. Really expresses the awkwardness of being a writer, particularly a writer of poetry. I think that awkwardness sometimes gets looked over in favor of the supposed romance of being a poet, but this piece really gets to the heart of the day to day and how silly it can be. Great work.

Thank you all! It was written to be read at an open mic I ended up not attending, and then it's been forgotten in a googledocs folder since then. I also tend to forget about the light-hearted and awkward at times ... but it is a street worth walking. I'm glad you all enjoy it!

clever indeed - and I can relate to feeling a poem coming on at inopportune times, then when the chance to write it down comes, the inspiration is gone
well done!

Your stanza simile about mash potatoes is one of the more creative bits of figurative writing I have seen lately. Bravo!

Very clever indeed. My poems come to me as I am sleeping - I have often half-awoke to jot a line into my phone. I never thought of resisting!
