Poetry by Brooke and Aaron
May 16, 2008
Aaron and I wrote some poetry together. It was a joint effort. You might have to brace yourself for its staggering genius…!!
Worldberry Web
The world
Spins as a spider spins a web
As a strawberry spat red
Turning, wasting, until it’s slow, sure
Death
Engulfed
Darkness tears at my insides
The scarlet moon shines on my soul
The shadow shark feeds on my brain
The kidnapped youth seeps, pours
From every darkened corner of my being
Screaming, crying, pleading
For the icecream cone of childhood
That somehow melted away
Into a puddle of crimson blood
Never to be savored again
Happy as a Clam
The fans spin so brightly
Heaven’s ceiling is near
And you can hold me tightly
I will never fear
Like a bear who eats warm honey
Or a fat man with a beer
Happiness surrounds me
There will never be a tear
Bravo!
I think my first comment didn’t quite express how much I love these poems so let me just say – I like them this much:

That line is a lot longer in the text box.
“like a fat man with a beer”. That line feels as though you got away with something. …I would have helped you.
I write a poem from time to time and put it on my blog. This encourages me to try again.
ha. that line just made us chuckle. definitely a cop-out but we were just messing around, really.
I’ve made more serious attempts in the past..and even later on this blog.
Poetry is fun, you should definitely try again.
