Here is one of the poems I've written for the class, possibly the only one that is any good (and even that is debatable). The poem was created using a method we tried in the class where we took an existing source (in my case, the book House of Leaves, and took random phrases and created a poem.
In Front of Me
I could call her.
Our whole fight was so frantic,
even sad in some ways.
I may have been part of it,
but still felt a mile away.
There is no satisfaction in this.
Sleep never arrives.
No rest.
The phone is right in front of me.
I just
cannot run that far…
cannot find a reason…
cannot…
Let me know any questions or comments (positive or negative) about the poem. The formatting is a little off from the original, but Blogger won't allow me to post it in the right form.
