Cool, Bluebird! I just participated in NaPoWriMo, so I have a bunch of poems to share! Here's one, that I also posted on the Slam:

Explosions are beautiful.

The way millions of particles collide all at once and

Worlds are formed from pure

Dust. I live for the bang of crashing

Forces. Magnetic attraction to complete

Opposites. Two hearts suddenly welded into one

By the universe’s metalsmith. A slap in the face

And the burning feeling that comes after, not just

On the outside, but all the way through.

Time is only ephemeral. Everything else:

Eternal. A billion insignificant pieces

Can create one significant universe.

Everything they have to hold onto made

Or broken in a single bang. There is nothing

Possessing in everyday routine, nothing

Taking in regularity, no new 

Sentiment to control us. No, only the complete

Overturning of all normality can be the creator

Of striking phenomena, of power for the

Powerless. Yes, it is true that

Explosions are beautiful.

Yay, another poetry thread!

This one's really sad (not inspired by any personal tragedy), but anyways. . .

untitled~  

i'm sorry i--

i let you go too soon

when you fell, you--

you closed your eyes

it was too fast--

and i, i made up my mind

i fell too

and then we were starlight

I'd love some critique and/or title suggestions!
