Ok, I'm into the "Poetry" portion of my "Lyrical essay and Poetry" class. Problem is, I'm not good at writing poetry....In fact, I hate writing it too. But today in class, when the prof. was giving us some pointers on how to not suck at writing poetry, I got an idea for a poem. I probably should have been taking notes or something, but I was bored and it's a 1 hour and 45 minute class. Below is the poem thus far. It's short and it's definitely not done, but tell me what you think of it.
Endless Cup
Featured Facades,
Tuned in and zoned out,
Drinking my life.
Zealous schemes,
Listless cohorts,
Drinking my life.
Long talks with a pillow,
And failed affairs,
Drinking my life.
Faces and places,
Dreams and memories,
All drowning in
An endless cup.
