hello!! i decided i want to get back into writing poetry and thought other people would want to join me on this journey! respond below with a poem every day for the rest of august, even if it’s just a short draft. if you miss a day, don’t worry, just come back the next! let’s have fun with this and write lots of good (or not so good, who cares?!) shit!
i’ll start! here’s my poem for august 14, 2023. it’s called starfall farm.
sweat and salt,
writhing bodies, bright orange
silicon bong going around—
smoke in your eyes doesn’t hide
the moon, nor the perfectly unhidden
meteor shower. watch it in a drunken
stupor, reach up and grab a star —
make every friend kiss it
with their beer-stained lips,
shove it in your pocket
and let it heat your blood forever.
