Challenge
Poetic Licence to Kill
Recent entries and comments sparked me again to sabotage my own poetry. So the challenge is to part write something poetic, but at appropriate times destroy its rhythm or rhyme. I found this challenging (it probably shows ha ha!) but it's a really good mental exercise to deliberately take yourself out of the flow!

Mixed Emotions

I love your smile.

I love your style.

I go the mile.

Though you take me

for granted

sometimes,

asking for more than

you need.

Filling your heart up

with greed.

Don’t let it take over

your mind!

I think you’re cool.

I think you rule.

Although it’s cruel

when you

let anger

and rage

destroy our

forever friendship

Yelling with

quivering lip.

Fury belongs

in a cage!

I love you so.

I want you to know.

I want it to show.

So listen up

now!

Listen to ME.

Don’t let it

take over your

personality!

Be yourself!

I SAID

BE

YOURSELF

AND

SNAP

OUT

OF

IT!

I like who you are.

I think you’re a star.

You’re going to go far.

Just breathe.
