Description I want a girl
who thinks
with her eyes closed
(in black and white)
and does not drink chamomile tea.
She does not watch movies
by Nicholas Sparks
and thinks God
really is Morgan Freeman
or someone she has not met
yet.
She reads Goethe, Sartre
and Salinger
and knows Orlando
is more than just
a city.
She wears plain white tees
and jeans so faded
her skin has lost its
color

and her shoes
chew the pavement
with real distinction.

Hi there!
It's a great job, with powerful images.Β 
I'd recommend to take care of the structure, for example: it'd be even more powerful, more meaningful if it went like this:

"and thinks God
really is
Morgan FreemanΒ or someone
she has not met
yet"

"and jeans so faded
her skin has lost its color"

Greetings.Lateral Haus.

Ah, this, I like. The little details- faded jeans, closed eyes, the type of tea- really make a poem stand out. Particularly since I find Nicholas Sparks gets old really, really fast. I also liked the Morgan Freeman reference- but really, what d'you have against chamomile tea?

Reading this was a perfect way for me to start my morning. It opens with a flourish and ends with a certainty that makes me feel solid, real. You have a way with words that amazes me, and inspires, too; it's always a pleasure to read your work.

After-Eden In reply to Poetrymann [2012-08-03 02:35:19 +0000 UTC]

For the most part.. I get the feeling that Woolf tries to explain her writing within her writing too much though. She seems self conscious within her method of intelligence which annoys me a little. Maybe it gets better though.

Me too! Well, why not? I don't necessarily wanna date her, just hang out n' have coffee and gossip over your latest poem...so there!

This made me smile, and I've been short on smiles lately. So thank you for that.

(:
Btw I had a quick question...at the lines 'and thinks God/really is Morgan Freeman' were u saying you want a girl who doesn't think that? or who does?
At first i thought you meant who does, and i thought that was really cute, but then I reread it and realized it might be the other way around. I was just curious.

Again, the raw emotion and aesthetic perfection of your work is amazing... along with a distinctive sense of humor... you are so intriguing and inspiring, or should I say your poetry... but it would have to be both, since one's art is part of them.... oh well, this is a fabulous art piece!! I love it!!

Finally someone who knows Sartre and doesn't assume he's a hooved mythical beast. Thank you for choosing Goethe over Marlow (though Marlow is appealing as well, not hating just saying). Thank you for noting the subtle beauties in life. Thank you, for restoring some hope to humanity. And thank you for lending your words for the world to read, they are beautiful
