caring for p(o)etsscribbling down vicious verses on
tissue napkins while seated at
the corner of a sidewalk cafe is
about as romantic, raw and
honest a p(o)et
-outside of the four corners of your bedpost-
can get

if you've got that person dreading over
drafts and dreams on end
-of you, for you-
consider yourself a new owner
it is now time to
tame this p(o)et's perverse mane
you've got your hands on
a fragile purebred
which can be very tricky for
first timers

Over LunchPour me another cup of coffee
on the days
I'm cold in all the wrong ways -

when the new summer sun
isn't warming the winter chill
that has nested in my bones
for months;

& the suddenness of spring,
isn't making up for the
loneliness of grey days
and the sunsets spent
waiting.

Sometimes I forget that
poetry wasn't meant to be
a light read over lunch,

and neither was I.

Ryan's PoemHow many times did you save me
from myself?

The quiver girl,
strung tight and shaking,

self-nursed at the end
of a whiskey bottle;

your ever-night,
shuddering off to sleep

a sick bat wrapped up
beneath your bed,
half rabid;

half intelligible-
if you were lucky.

Good nights I curled up
against your broad shoulders,
smiling
as you palmed a bowl,

taking in air
to request records
and savory things
to eat - and then,

I nested on top of your pillow
as much
as any girlfriend

yet never quite
a lover.

I was hard on the heart, Darling, wasn't I?

Never yours
and now

we never speak.

Who do we have to blame for this? None other than this rascal:

who gave me the prompt: dinosaurs were feathered like a peacock a while back. Yeah, really, that's what he gave me. And yes, really, that is why you read this. Boom. Prompts are evil. (:

p.s.
GLORY BE!!!

Now this is an interesting and very unique story of a romance. I like it. I like your Southern twang, and how it infuses your writing. It makes the stories you tell seem more intriguing for some reason.

`FuzzyHoser Apr 22, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Well I'm glad you like the twang add-ons, lol. It's fun to let my inner southerner out to play.

Thank ya for reading, Ms. Meg!

Aww, this is really awesome. I love love love what came out of that prompt. You painted such a vivid atmosphere, and the wry but nostalgic tone is really appealing and kind of funny.

Great job!

`FuzzyHoser Feb 26, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Thanks, Steph! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

~TheLunaLily Feb 19, 2013 Writer

Wow, I thought this was a true story. haha, fooled me!

`FuzzyHoser Feb 20, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Ahaha...you people have far too much support for my horrible antics.

~TheLunaLily Feb 20, 2013 Writer

I laughed out loud, literal LOL, at "Tyrone". hahahaha! But you called him Tyler. I thought that was hilarious, especially because I thought it was true. lol
