OK, Emily, I took your advice. This is the product of my free writing mixed with stream of conciousness. It's not too great. OK, upon re-reading it, it is downright sad. Oh well.
Access Denied
Bold and defiant lines
Interlocking in clasped hands
Tightly cling together, fused
As one against the world
Access denied flashes
Vibrant rainbow letters
Present themselves at every
Opportunity to remind,
Reinforce, the idea of
Denied access, withholding
Restraining against the norm
Social normalities begin to blur
Smudged edges, the conservatives
Are edgier and eager
To wave
Shout and exemplify
Access Denied
Deny, REly, Any, Re-lY
No, no I will not stand
Nor will I fall, a crumpled
Heap of self-denial on the earth
Stand true for the inate
A part of me, love & hope
Rip the denial from it's roots
Tear the "access denied" apart
Access + denied yields pain, hurt, hate
Yes true enough BUT
Love + Soul yields me
With
Full access to whomever or
Whatever I please,
Please don't deny
Access to life

Fishing
No if I were fishing I'd say something along the lines of it being the worst thing ever put into print and should be burned off the screen. That'd be fishing. :)
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
...wow...
*awed into silence*
niks, i really like it. this may be my favorite poem of yours to date.
yes, it's sad, but it's also really honest and vivid.
i'm enamored! my favorite stanza is the one that begins, "Restraining against the norm..." i like the play on blurred edges/edgy conservatives. all the wordplay is well done.
i also took my own advice and ended up with my most recent post, "cutting," which, to me, is nothing short of mediocre. at least one of us got something cool out of the experiment!
tu poema es muy muy muy muy buena buena buena.
love emily
My Harshest Critic
So what I think sucks you like? Ha that's great. This :gestures above: is your favorite poem of mine? Well if you like it, then it has to be semi-good.
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
Haha
I think the same thing every time you love one of my poems that i'm so-so about. like how you really liked 'cutting.' that amused me, because i was like, oh, this is drivel, even as i was writing it. but then you made me re-think that simply because you liked it.
complicated tangle of opinions.
Awesome
I really liked this poem, and I think I have to agree with Emily when she said it's possibly one of your best. I especially liked the "Love + Soul yields me" part of it. Now if only some of those conservatives could sing the same song.
