So, here's the deal. I don't really like my poetry. But Kelly wanted to read some, so here are a few. Both of these were written while I was reading lots of work by a specific poet. Kudos to you if you know who I'm talking about.
future(s)
feel it once and its truth flames
like flowers reaching fiercely
into your deepest gentles
our feelings are raindrop-deluded(diluted?)
and hesitation holds our future(s) in a half-way house,
but a memory is no substitute for a moment, my love
amidst an april-shower evening
amidst an april-shower evening
i trace
iloveyou
on your palm
in cursive(in code).
write it again,you say.
i scrawl
iloveyou
on your palm
slowly,solidly.
amidst an april-shower evening,
i feel my heart-fingers
linking,tangling,
getting lost(or mixed)
with yours.
i tell you,my love,
all the good things in my life
mul
ti
ply
when i'm with You.
P.S. This stupid blog keeps nazi-ing my formatting. multiply is supposed to be spaced differently. Sorry, guys.

i like the "heart-fingers" and i like the splitting up of multiply. not only does the form follow the meaning, but the way it makes you pause and expand upon it as your reading, makes you vocalize the meaning as well.
I know, I know- is it E.E. Cummings? You're awesome. And I agree with Katie.
I'm pretty sure that I'm printing the second one inside my wedding announcement. If I ever get married of course.
No, Anonymous, I wrote these. I had been reading quite a bit of Cummings at the time, though.
I really like this one to.
