Gravity

That do-over you asked for?
Leave the given space
and take a shadowed way.
Escape darkness
fly across time
or
hide in secret green forests.
Dream
and make the world glow.
Gravity cannot drive your spirit down
but
growing up too fast
will.

Another magnetic poetry poem, with the same glow-in-the-dark set that I mentioned here. It's a bit of a challenge to make poem-y sounding poems when all you're given is science fiction-y words.

That's why I did it, I suppose.

Unlove

That is the story:
He shot eyes at her;
She saw his face,
hooked the tool.
He loved her skin,
lived in her hair,
and told dangerous secrets to the sky.
They kissed under a beaming moon,
but she was darkness
and ate his heart
in the shadows.

This is from quite a while ago, and the joke (well, it's funny to me) is that it was done with a Magnetic Poetry set. And not just a Magnetic Poetry set, but a glow-in-the-dark set that was supposed to be for children. I just wanted to see if I could make a more adult poem from it.

I kind of like to play around with magnetic poetry if I'm wanting to write something and end up blocked for whatever reason. Lately I haven't been writing anything at all... I suppose it's time to get the magnets out again.

Maybe not the kids' version though.
