Now
Seven years later
Hadn’t listened to mother
Fix it, fix it, now
The second poem is called a "found poem". It has words and phrases taken directly from the tweets that follow. I took a little more freedom here--it is not word for word from my tweets. The phrases are mostly in tact, but I had to weave it into new prose to ma I simply could not do that.
Happy Place
You’re chipped, but still beautiful;
My polar opposite,
We play in perfect harmony.
I’m your beast; you’re my beauty;
Let’s build our perfect story,
And cuddle round the fire.
The rain and hail will come,
But don’t let life get in the way.
Just pull me closer, hold me tighter.
I’ve found my happy place--
So happens to be near you,
At the end of each and every day.

Afterthoughts: To be honest, this was a really hard exercise to do. I feel like my poems turned out decent, but I write better when I do not have such strict guidelines. I would have rather picked one tweet and written an poem off of inspiration from that. But hey, this is learning process right? Yes, indeed.
