NOT Another Love Poem

I was in denial. Humor me.

This is NOT another love poem.

Too many times has my pen

graced these pages with

teenage monologues,

whimsical fantasies,

hesitant dreams,

and timid hopes.

Not a love poem,

'cuz then I'd be thinking of your eyes,

how your lips moved over mine,

how your voice sounded in my ear,

low, just for me, heated...

But noooo...!

NOT a love poem,

not a 'like' poem, either.

Not an I-like-him-but-he-doesn't-like-me poem,

or a

he-has-a-girlfriend-and-I-don't-wanna-be-a-home-wrecker type poem.

No.

No.

NO.

This is a poem,

banishing all love poems.

(yeah right..)

Author's Note

I was frustrated and angry and I couldn't be bothered. This is one of my more 'retarded-moment' pieces. Tell me what you think. I seriously want to know.

i liked the slight contrast and the strong emotions that are there

i really like this, especially the humor/irony tied into it. i especially liked the "teenage monologues,

whimsical fantasies,

hesitant dreams,

and timid hopes." part; it reminds me of "i won't say i'm in love" XD

[Michael X]

it makes the reader wonder just how many styles of love poetry is out there, this definitely captures its own class. great job.

The poem reminded me of the song "This is not a love song" by Public Image Ltd. I can really feel the anger and confusion of this poem. I think some of the best writing comes from just raw emotion and this poem definitely has that . great job :)

I think it was very well expressed. Funny in a way? =|
Best poetry seems to be written when you experiencing intense emotions of some sort. Ah, well thats what i think at least when i read them.

I seriously liked it, your creative, using your pen to express an angry feeling
