29/30 - National Poetry Month 2014

this is my first desk,
         my first office,
         the first space I've ever had,
     to myself

its quirks,
in order of annoyance:

the air vent,
never quite right,
        quite hot, on occasion,
        quite cold, most of the time

the whirring from fans,
used to cool, but make my head shake
                                           shake it out,
                          makeshift sound barrier,
                                                   drown out
kind of
                         
the mouse cord, too short,
with an extension that beeped
                       that blundered
     mouse, busted?
           extender busted?
who knows

hidden away, in a,
and I quote "cave,"
         away in a corner,
like a misfit,
        misdirected,
                      corner pocket,
                                        bat cave.

In other words,
      this place,
      this space
 the first place,
      first office,
      first desk
I've ever had to myself.

I loved it.

18/30 - National Poetry Month 2014

today.

another whoosh of colors and buzz,
a shake of a snowglobe,
a timer's half twist,
a tick mark on an ever-expanding list

days end.

like bare feet on a shag,
a sensation of unexpected comfort,
a palette fulfilled,
rest, to do it again

Challenge 2: February - A Poem a Day #9

February 12, 2013

Be mine...
     Valentine
Red,
    lots of red,
which is ironic,
being that anger and love are the same color

This isn't an angry poem though,
on the contrary,

Browse the cards,
   which in fun designs and cute animals
try to quantify
Love

Kisses,
   hugs,
monkeys,
   doves,
cats and dogs,
sweet, dirty, simple,
   shrugs

Be mine...
     Valentine
Hearts,
      lots of hearts,
which is ironic
considering love doesn't really have a shape
