I'm not so sure how I feel about posting poetry on the internet...I don't really want to be bad poetry girl, but I had the pleasure of meeting with a group of friends to discuss poetry last week (they all live in CA so I skyped in) and we have the assignment of writing more poetry to share with the group. I'm half done with one about our crazy car accident 2 years ago. Just good to get it out there while I work on the second half. It doesn't have a title yet!
We are a tumbleweed
car. Somersaulting away
from the hustle of highway 40.
Bouncing yo-yo's --
Dangling like ridiculous
spiders caught
in our own webs.
Then falling,
in slow motion,
arms and legs floating
gracefully.
An involuntary wave.
Three flawless rotations,
we stick the landing
(four wheels firmly planted)
stuck
in the victorious ditch.
