Still a Writer....
Well, I'm feeling better, hust to let everyone (Meghan) who still reads this journal know.
I had a good weekend...not too many tours, Shakugan no SHANA, feild day which was just like 4th grade, Anime Heaven, time to sleep, learning things, finishing my report. In all it was good.
I've been on a poetry spree lately, but they're different from what I usually do. Most of my poems are conventional, but lately these have been prose-esque. I still like them though.
So here is the lastest one I wrote for my sister.
An Odd Couple (Alternate title: My Sister’s First Boyfriend)
My boyfriend and I are an odd couple.
I never thought about it, but it’s true.
This was brought to my attention by
my little brother, while I drove him home one evening.
He told me you and you’re boyfriend act different
from all the other couples at my school.
I probably shouldn’t have turned to look at him while driving
but I couldn’t stop myself. (It was only for a second!)
I wonder if other people see it this way.
All my friends at school tell me
that we are cute. Do they
secretly see us as odd as well?
There is a girl I know who hates my boyfriend
because he is not physically attracted to her.
He tells me she’s jealous because
all of her relationships were based on nothing more than that.
I hear stories from all my friends.
They will fight with their boyfriends, break up, and make up.
Most fights I have with my boyfriend
are resolved later that day.
Couples I know, who I thought would last
are angry, hurt;
will scream, cry, rant and rave
because the two spilt up.
I feel almost strange
watching the chaos of this that surrounds me
which seems to happen everywhere
except inside our relationship.
I stay quiet during those times,
not wanting others to be jealous or angry.
I sometimes wonder what you would say
if you had been there in my stead.
Is it really that odd in this day and age
to stay loyal and true?
To commit and communicate?
To compromise?
While others fall apart around us
do we manage to do the few simple things
all people do to stay together
which are the very things that make us an odd couple?
My little sister, I found out
that you had a boyfriend.
I wish you would have told me
instead of me having to find out.
I ask you frequently
how you and your boyfriend are doing.
My boyfriend asks as well.
He thinks of you as a little sister.
You two seem to usually be doing fine
but I can’t help but worry.
Being that he is your first boyfriend
I know you don’t have much experience in this field.
I had previous relationships
disastrous as they had been
but I learned something from all of them.
Did you perhaps learn from my mistakes?
Everything is always fine in the beginning.
It’s later on that determines
how long, if at all
the relationship will last.
My boyfriend and I are an odd couple
and I’m grateful that we are.
And so my little sister, I pray
you will have an odd relationship as well.
Dedicated to Meghan Deidre “MeghanD” Hayward
Best of luck little sis!
Hopefully and happily yours, Monday April 23, 2007
