I shan't become a fan, but...

Oops. Over a month without posting a new poem. Was planning to do better than that. Obviously I'm writing the wrong kinds of poesy. This one was written instead of accepting a facebook request. It's a villanelle!



I really wanna talk to you,
but then I get too paranoid
and go find something else to do.

I went and got this sweet tattoo
to celebrate being employed.
I really wanna talk to you,

but then I think, "we had that blue,
I bet you're probably still annoyed",
and go find something else to do.

Well sure, my library books are due
another excuse to avoid--
I really wanna talk to you.

I will. I won't just sit and stew.
I won't find myself redeployed
and go find something else to do.

We're friends. I'm fairly sure that's true.
and conversations we've enjoyed.
I really wanna talk to you,
then go find something else to do.

a) You have a job?
b) YOU HAVE A TATTOO?
c) Villanelle! One of the tricksiest poems ever.
d) Hello. *squish* I've been a bad friend of late and not talking to anyone. Your poem makes me wish to remedy that. Are you at uni this week at all?

[jaydee]

I have neither job nor tattoo. Although if I did have one it'd be likely I had the other.

I thought it would be trickier, actually. The only having two lines per bit was harder than the repetition, because I am so excessively verbose.

I am at uni all week every week! Every week of semester, at least. Of course, Monday and Thursday I have classes all day (9-4) and Wednesday and Friday I have classes all morning.

Ah, well there you go.

I wrote one once. It was damn tricky too.

I am only there on a Wednesday and Friday, though Fri is my consultation day. Shall we get lunch or something on Wed? I think i have a midday-ish break, i can text when i know.

[jaydee]

Text away. On Wednesday I have classes 9-11 and 12-1, so it would depend on how middayish your break if. Friday I just have a 9-12 lab that will finish earlier than that.

I think 2-3pm, actually. Or possibly 1-2pm, i don't remember which. I know there's a two involved.
