poetry in motion

whitereflectionNormally should leave the house like 7:25, I was ready just before then...he was ready like 7:40. 7:45 if you count us having to get trash to the curb. Needless to say, trying to get to Starbuck's as a Friday treat failed utterly when already running so late. Don't think I got to go at all this week. FFS.
Failed at trying to do poetry last night, pre-WoW raid stuff (C'thun all evening, oh *joy*). Had the most intense urge to write something in the afternoon and when driving home, have kind of an original short bit lurking about in my head. But started on a poem that seemed to be going ok, then just sputtered. That sound a deflating balloon makes? Yeah, that. -__- Been so long since I've done even passable poetry, especially free verse. Bugs me that I can't seem to get that going. Have two years worth of fragments in my work e-mail drafts, of bits of scrap paper stashed at home, and am now getting fragments saved on text files on my computer desktop at home (need to start a folder).
Speaking of poetry, was reminded today how very much I like this one:
Poem
by Langston Hughes
I loved my friend
He went away from me
There's nothing more to say
The poem ends,
Soft as it began-
I loved my friend.
And it suddenly hits me how *fitting* it is for my favorite slash pairings. Which is the height of dorkitude, really.
That Hot Pockets biscuit thing was pretty lousy. The Godiva bottled coffee thing was ok, but was no from the shop Starbucks frappucino or latte. :|
