I sat on the hotel bed
(I forgot to bring my own sheets)
and the cracks in the wall
filled with pity, as I told my story.
I was talking to myself
and the parrot beside the bed
(His name was goldfish, for thats
all the hotel would allow).
Offered only a soft echo.
Your picture winked at me,
and not being able to stand the smug
I grabbed my raincoat, my auburn wig
(I felt like being different)
and I put on your necklace,
even though the cheap metal
gives me a rash.
And I'll get into my plastic car
because everything is plastic
(excludingsoulsandallthingsgodintendedtobe)
good
The radio's on and
The weatherman says they're clouds in my head
I guess that means its going to rain....
Nice 'plastic' piece!
Thanks I appreciate it! How did you come across my poem? By chance? And if you don't mind me asking. Why are all your titles the same? I bet that sound a bit naive, but I'm really asking you for the creative reasoning behind it.

fist let me say that i have been remiss in checking your entries. it was not until yesterday that i read your last works poetic, and i must say that i am very impressed. very.
second. i don’t remember what i was going to say second, so it’ll have to wait until next time.
be well.

Random titles...what does that mean!?! J/K!!!!
Thanks for reading. I'm not any sort of professional poet, but I basically write what comes to mind. It's nice to hear that you enjoy my pieces.
I honestly haven't created any new poetry in a year, or two, or three, or something like that. I've only been transfering some of the stuff that's in my poem/journals. I want to share it with the world!!!!
