What I Really Meant To Say (National Poetry Writing Month)

poetry header image

General updates on life before we start today's poem ...

  • The movie Legion is really terrible. Plot, acting, special effects (although I did like Gabriel's angel fighting style and would love to see a character like him in a Street Fighter game) ... it was a mess. Urf.

  • Started watching season one of United States of Tara and it's pretty good. My dawg Craig and my wife Myshell really knew their stuff recommending that. As uncomfortable as The Office but far more tragic, with an amazing cast and tour de force acting from the perfectly cast Toni Collette.

  • I have been super busy blogging at The Hundred and Four, reviewing my new N900 phone in detail, eviscerating "entertainer" Drake and the comics event Blackest Night and probably more (sleepy, walking the baby daughter around while the wife teaches a class and the sister takes it).


Poem time! Tried a more ambitious piece, it started imploding, fell back to this. Here we go ...
Little eyes attend
choosing each word with such care
what will stay with her?

"Come Over Here Right Now, Little Girl!"
by Hannibal Tabu


We'll see if I can make the short story-sized idea I tried today work for tomorrow. Hasta!

Playing (Music): "Don't Stop Believing" by the cast of Glee

NOTE: Since this blog is automatically imported into my Facebook page, I apologize if you comment on it and I don't respond, as I am taking a sabbatical from social networking for 2010. So me not responding is not personal, I just won't see the comments ... until 2011. Maybe. Also including this disclaimer on blogs, but you're welcome to go to the blog itself and speak your mind, as I
may look there ...
