My Poetry Writing Process

5:26 am
who is this, what is that, why have I spent so much of my life trying to gain approval? They say it's natural and maybe it is but it just seems that my choice would be to not seek it out to not need to seek approval, to free my desire to seek approval, to risk disproval without need for approval, root word prove, to prove your words, will you approve my words if I write them or should I really care, if I share the words I approve would you care to disprove them? Don't be the one who needs to seek approval of the shared words others naturally disapprove. .

The result is....

Use the SAVE AND EDIT function!!!!! Just lost a whole lot of beautiful babble... but luckily I copied a bit to the clipboard before I did...

There's a problem with the present
I've sent to you for Christmas
the one I searched so long and hard
fighting hordes of greedy people

Okay, I ordered your present online
while reclining nude on memory foam
the furnace maintained 75 degrees
as snow drifted on the window sill

It was a rare treasure perfect for you
Something I'd been saving months for
to reflect how I treasure you in my life
someone to whom I owe my very existence

Okay, it was a little gadget-like thing
something they called a thingamabob
a trinket because I know you like trinkets
just like the trinkets you always send me

Soooo... what more can be done to recover your gift? I've emailed the company's manufacture, the online site, the Better Business Bureau and called everyone I know for advice. I've had my cousin, the computer wiz look at my system, to track functions, and search the web. I've gotten promises that a replacement might be sent but not in time for the holidays. Are you still living in New Jersey? My fingertips are raw from all the typing.

I've email the company's online site,
the item's manufacture, and the BBB.
Jacked, tracked, hacked my fingers raw
Do you still live in New Jersey?

You know I got a life too... it's the thought that counts anyway, I'm not getting any younger,
Look, I'll do the best I can but don't your hopes up.. You know what/ Forget about it, things happen for a reason, don't they? Oh well, there's always next year!

Okay! Here's the end result!

Silvery streaks of rainbow colors dancing like the glitter inside an astral body.
