New Poem (alas, also depressing) October 11, 2005 - 2:51:34
Didn't I say I was going to stop putting up depressing poetry? I guess I write about my life. So somebody cheer me up, dammit.
This one's a toughie because it deals with a very real situation that's going on right now. If you want information, PM me please-- I'm keeping the details on the down-low.
Sorrow
What are we supposed
to do with this news?
The accident shatters
our hearts, just like it broke her
bones.
I hold Andrea while she
weeps for her friend
and I don’t even know
what to say to make the pain
better.
We sit together on a couch
and I grope for words
trying to make it less
real for both of us.
I can’t.
If we lose our friend
If she dies tomorrow
If there are no answers
Can we live through more
hurt?
I cannot hide this in image.
I cannot cover up the pain.
I cannot pretend this poem
is about someone else’s
friend.
Why does living feel so much like dying sometimes?
This fits the requirements for our assignment for Thursday, but I don't know whether or not I should turn it in. Let me know what y'all think. Revisions? Write a different one? What's up?

Most. Obnoxious. Color. Scheme. Evar.
This better, or do I need to make the background a shade lighter?
The red links are positively radioactive, and there isn't enough contrast between the background and the text
I think I fixed it now so that it will stop hurting people's eyes.
It's better. The text is much more readable, and the new red isn't anywhere near as bad.
Just a tip, while Red and Blue work well together in print media, they don't in screen media.
