Double X

Double X

A Poem by The Purple Kazoo
"

what's to describe? it's about being lesbian.

"

Straight girl,

you don't see me

watching you

wanting you

paled to insignificance

next to the ever-important

so-and-so

with an X-and-Y.

What's in a Y?

Can you explain to me

what I will never understand?

I'm an X girl.

Double X

stands for love.

I love the line "What's in a y?"
I think it was a cool play on words from a classic writer.
Great job.

Short, sweet, and to the point! I really like how sincere you are, and the fact that you're so brave to be open in a close-minded world. ^^

The title is very clever, and the poem itself is full of honest curiosities. Excellent work!

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

Liked it the first time, loved it the second. It's so real and down to earth it's scary. Keep it up

I love this poem. It's direct and, despite its brevity, communicates the feelings of an impassioned individual.

With your permission, I'd like to send it to a couple of lesbian friends.
