To Begin

With resolutions and goals,

We begin a year.

With whims and interests,

Each project begins.

But really it's all motivation,

A push to start something,

An urge to create something,

The will to begin that makes us.

How splendid.

Censorship of f bombs seriously hampers the poetry of the English language. Free English from colonialism.

YES, TIME CIRCLES ENDLESSLY

THE HANDS OF FATE TRAINED AHEAD

(po~~inting to the edge)

ALL THINGS CHANGE, DRAWN TO THE FLAME

TO RISE FROM THE ASHES

It seemed like a good idea.  Meredith likes poetry.  Meredith likes Topped Off.  In theory, then, Meredith should like Poetry Night at Topped Off.

In practice, she does not.

She’s not miserable at all; she just isn’t exactly enjoying herself.  The mostly freshmen who step up to read their work are courageous, she thinks, but not good poets.  Not yet.  With time, perhaps some of them will be, but at the moment, it is all too easy to tell exactly what was just covered in Lit 101, and their desire for depth and resonance comes across so much more clearly than any actual emotion.  Occasionally, someone better takes the stage with something more interesting, but not often enough to convince Meredith she wouldn’t be better off at home with a book and some form of alcohol.

The most recent brave soul steps off the stage in the corner and Meredith smiles and applauds and waits to make sure they aren’t looking in her direction before she turns to her companion and pouts, “This would be better with wine.”
