GrassHopperGirl~

streaming to a poetic challenge from rem~see author's note for explanation~ =)~

Where does a girl place

So much craving

Does she pour it into liquid eye liner

Streamed to her temples

Onyx rouge

Smeared, a bruise in the center of her disguise

Does she bury it in a stack of literature

Stories colliding with the crowd

At the cafeteria entrance

Eyes devouring her unclassifiable existence

 

High school is a b***h

With venom in the bones of her corset

 

There are days where they shred her

She picks up the pieces and fortifies her boundaries

With unbendable grass

There are days where they trip her up

Trick her up

She shakes their blood from the blue of her eyes

And casts the iris into gray clouds

Remaking them into shades

Placing them against a pane of mist glass

 

High school is a b***h

If you ain’t one

 

Where does a girl place

So much craving

She pours it into a tea cup

A Japanese bowl

For grasshoppers playing her melodies

In a flower pot

On a windowsill

Absorbing every bruise into notes

Drinking every hateful word of the day from her pores

Reworking her into fresh magik

Encouraging her to face another day

Rebuilt by a handful of streamlined green grasshoppers

Who have made the curls of her chestnut hair their love ground

Who have made her

Their girl

 

High School is a b***h

If you let it be . . . .

Green text of course goes with this perfectly... I loved this write and yes I love all your writes I know but I have to say it each time. This one is playful in asking the repeating question to which of course I have no answer for, I would say just flaunt it and have them wish over it. Divine, creative, and still amazing!...

Hmm a challenge write, now we have to write one behind your creation, now you know that is more than just a challenge write.. Still it is a tempting challenge and one I should undertake. Excellent write Selene it's perfection!

[Ed Hart]

i don't know about girls, but i can tell you guys never get past sixteen...even when they start to crumble (like the present company), the T and A gene kicks in first, and duly suffers the consequence of knowing THAT will never happen again (if it ever happened at all)...jack and jill fall down the hill and fall and fall and fall

Yes, it is, and still, you give hope at every turn.

High School is a b***h

If you let it be . . .

ha I was wondering if you were giving us a challenge at first ha then you added the rem's challenge bit lol - well naturally you mastered the challenge, as you do all challenges! I love "She pours it into a tea cup
A Japanese bowl
For grasshoppers playing her melodies
In a flower pot
On a windowsill
Absorbing every bruise into notes"

[LilyT]

You took the challenge and made it yours. Does this mean you will respond to any and all poetic challeneges? Hm, let me think. (;
Truly, Selene, this is another piece of your jewel heart.

[Dream Weaver]

I knew quite a few of them in my earlier years,
in fact it was odd of me not to hang out with
them because they were real. High school
was a melting pot of idiocy oddities and those
you strived for perfect AKA a*s kissers! I’ll take
the oddities hands down! Lovely write Selene..

[Brad]

i think you met this challenge head on, molded it in your own image, painted it the color of your eyes, and spoke it as if yours was the only voice to tell it

[Matthew Kult]

And when would you like it? And can I intertwine my own style?

As for the poem. excellent beginning for an interesting navigation on where this girl will go. So exciting, I am curious to learn how many will treat her...deciphor her....

Regards,

Matthew
