THE CLUB #2

2 - Wild card

I have to write about something,
anything.
I'm sitting in class, pretending
to be writing down what that professor is saying.
He's so annoying, by the way,
he talks and talks and talks
as I stare at him
wondering if I'll ever have the chance
to stand in his place

3 - Category: Life

In the park,
you sit on any bench for five minutes
and butterflies will hurry to you,
birds will choose the branch
just above your head to perch on,
cats will meow and meow until
you pat on their heads,
even flies will sip from your cup of coffee
but not one single human
will come close

4 - Must include the words of a club name.

This place is so lonely.
I wish I had anything to do
other than gathering the fragments
of my poetry to write
a sane piece.

5) formed poetry

long days stuck in a cage
over and over this in my life
never freedom
god this is no life

Jim beam was always for me
But I'd never just stop at three
lean on the bar throwing smiles at girls
the odd interruption to pee
yes i remember the long legged ones with curls

Wow dating used to be fun
slip back home about one
to watch the room go round and round
thank god my liver never had an
Ultrasound
can't imagine that being fun
but hell I was no nun
wild and free
to my mates a son of a gun
Oh to be young

8. Must include a metaphor or similie

There was this dude lived over the road
he was as cool as a cucumber
the chicks just fell over him
but me and girls
all my lines went over
like lead balloons
no I was never a cool banana
no man I was plain as a desert

1 - Must include an animal AND one number:

I think about snakes
more often than I'd like to admit.
I imagine them slithering under my bed,
running after me in alleyways,
biting my neck,
splashing blood everywhere.
I even had this one nightmare
that you were a snake,
waiting to prey on me,
lurking for me, hiding in my books,
in the laundry, between the sheets that
hold your scent.

And I never seem to wake up
from it.

2 - Wild card

The only inspiring thing
in front of me now is that kid
playing with water and his grandma
yelling at him.
And even that didn't inspire me.

3. Category: Life

I had a dream last night
that all galaxies were meshing together
into one black ball
hidden in the eyes of an owl

4.

The beach is calm
and kites are flying everywhere
and runners are doing their morning exercises
and kids are eating ice cream
and ice creams vendors are making more ice cream
and lovers are making love
and all of this could be turned to a mess of
blood and ice cream
by one
single bomb

screen for like hours, popping out
crap poems

understand the way I feel now

7. 10 - 13 lines

She prays.
But it's a different kind of prayer.
It's a prayer that everybody hears, without her
saying a single word, without her kneeling,
or holding a holy book.
She prays and she can feel the power of
the voice inside of her that comes out of her
lips in the shape of a soft smile,
a soft whisper, a soft kiss,
pointed at the whole universe.

8. Must include a metaphor or similie

Remember that time
we had sex on the pool table
and I said I had felt you deep inside
and you said I was like the pool table
that also had felt inside.

1. Must mention ONE animal AND ONE NUMBER.

One day, little pig,
your skin will be scored

at 230 degrees celcius
until it browns and blisters
and crackles between our molars.

7. 10-13 lines

In the corner of a
crowded room,
I'm just an empty chair that
nobody wants to sit down on,
I look for something
someone to fill my void

that I've always been
there for the
tired and the lonely

You're a big bar
of dark chocolate, deliciously

We're in the bus.
The red light is on, the crowded street
is going mad, sidewalks carrying
indifferent pedestrians and
drivers shouting behind car windows
beep-beeping as time goes by
so slowly
a kid falls asleep against the shoulder
of his mother
and we're sitting silently in the backseat
with my lips in yours

2) 3 verses x 3 lines

Friends are there for you
In times of trouble
To come to the rescue

Just a phone call away
They will come to your call
Any time of day

Lives round the road
If he was a chick he'd be a heartthrob

Is Harry a hunk
Well William is bald
Though thankfully tall
Kate is quite hip
And never gives lip
The best of the royals it has to be said
Well the others are sticky to say the least
Not like a priest
