I want to share with y’all a poetry exercise I did in class a week or so ago. It’s patterns are meant to be 1+1+1, 1+2, and 2+1. This form of poetry is new to me, but it was fun, and I hope you might enjoy these pieces while also seeing a few snapshots of my life currently.<\/p>\n

Chill\u2014<\/p>\n

a house on the snow,<\/p>\n

the imagination warms bright.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Glee\u2014<\/p>\n

a wide patch of snow,<\/p>\n

I ruin it with a circle made with feet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peer pressure\u2014<\/p>\n

waiting to write something<\/p>\n

at a crowded table of acquaintances.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Laptops\u2014<\/p>\n

the means of focus<\/p>\n

that connects us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The modern gothic chandelier<\/p>\n

hangs from its wooden buttress\u2014<\/p>\n

Quiet aesthetic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A GIF of Elmo<\/p>\n

Largely gestures with a shrug\u2014<\/p>\n

My life in a nutshell.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
