Morgan’s Rantings and Waxings

This poem has become my mission statement in life. I wrote this sitting at Lake Michigan, as I do many things. I was overtaken with the mystery that is life, and this is what came out. Rating: Dig it Dadaist Stargazer I sit alone, I hear the waves jumping upon themselves lights are everywhere Pinholes, …

This was the second poem I ever wrote, and it’s actually not too bad, now that I look back at it. It has some amaterish stuff, but is pretty intense for the most part. Rating: Okay War All the people in the world are the same as we look through the eyes of a country …

I wrote this one while I was in Ireland for a month, and now I’m actually using it in a song of mine. Rating: Dig it Too Hard to Be To live without the fear of eye contact To play without the shadow of body image To talk without the horror of offense To compete …

This is one of the longer poems I have ever written. This is not about the same girl as before, although it sounds kind of like it is. But different girl. Much later in life. Much better impact. We’re still friends. However, I wrote this whole thing basically directly to her, and gave it to …

This is another poem about aforementioned girl that made a big impact on my life. The title’s kind of creepy now that I look at it. Rating: Okay Personal Savior Don’t become like them Don’t become like them The world tells me to take advantage, to become exactly what I am not I’m better then …

Description: There was a guy in my high school who died from cancer my junior year. They had a big funeral procession at the high school and almost everyone from the school piled in there. The service was very powerful, and I wrote this afterwards as my reaction to it. Although the poem is okay …

Description: If you read my poems, plays, or listen to my songs, you’ll notice that I use the Hideaway, or hiding place imagery a lot. This is the first thing I wrote with that type of imagery in it. This is based on a girl who made a huge impact in my life, and a …

Description: This is one that a wrote a pretty long time ago, I think my Junior year in high school, and I’ve always liked it. The rhyming scheme is pretty unique and the message is nice. Rating: Pretty good. Grandeur Rivers of green and rivers of gray Flowing to wherever it may The blue sky …

Description: This is a pretty bad poem that I wrote trying to be deep and whatnot. The last line of it is okay, but the rest is pretty bad, just trying to get things to rhyme. What scares me is that I wrote this one kind of recently. Rating: Not so great. Carpe Diem A …
