Birthday Poems
birthday poems
are usually made
for little children
all of
a sudden i
don't know what's
going to
happen with you
brother; i don't
know, you
brother; birthdays are
days for being
born; shall
we be born?
it's nice to
have you
brother; sisters need
brothers to pick
on them
so they know
they're loved; brothers
need sisters
who pretend they're
mothers; so the
brothers can
be fathers but
sometimes it's hard
to find
the person beneath
the brother; happy
birthday person
love, another person

I'm so glad you started sharing your poems!!! and, 30 years? who's counting?
ReplyDeleteI love the brokenness of the form. The spacing is really random and fun and kept me reading it more then once until I could really get the flow - which does exist. It's one of those fun tricky ones that you need to search for and find, its not just blatent.
I could ramble for hours how the form affects the content, esspecially in this piece but... I'll spare you from my pretentious literary analysis :D
