Random poem I wrote in Political Science class because I made eye contact with someone, we broke it, and it got me thinking. Rating: Well yeah, if you live in Europe Stare Tiny black dots on blue circles meet with mine hold, 2, 3 shift Why do we both move? Why can’t we hold? I …

There is bad poetry, and there is worse poetry, and every once in a while, there’s good poetry. Hopefully there’s a couple of the latter in this list. (Just as a disclaimer, I will never claim to be a poet.) For each poem below there is a desription and my own personal rating, so you can share in the mocking of my own self-expression, and you can comment to leave your own opinions.

Unashamed
Cheesy love poem about a recurring problem in my life where I’m in love with a girl who’s already with someone else. Rating: I’ll try anything twice Unashamed I’m not ashamed to say I’m in love I’m not afraid of what it will do My days now seem so fresh and new The future’s too …
Rain
I wrote this on a rainy day, believe it or not. To explain the angst toward modern fashion that you’ll find in this, I wrote this when a girl that I was really in to stood me up for another guy. So a lot of the self-image crap comes from that too. Just to give …
Letter to a Lover
These are words that I’ve found myself uttering time and time again. It is a little bit of a pity party, though, just to warn you. But I’ll cry if I want to. Rating: Sure, I’ll have that. Letter to a Lover Are you out there? Do you even exist? Do you thiink about me …
Downhill Ride
Something I wrote right after I had spent the evening with my then best friend, knowing that I would probably never see her on a regular basis again. Ironically, there is a line in the poem saying she is “still a part of my life,” which is no longer true, considering I haven’t even spoken …
Beast
A very personal poem that I wrote when I was very pissed off, as you can tell right away. This one is a little graphic, just to warn you. Rating: Dark but pretty good Beast I am the beast I am the lust I am the degenerate I am the cursed I’m the thing I …
Time Flies
The shortest poem I’ve ever written. Rating: Good Time Flies My how time flies when you’re in love This past week was long as hell © 2002 Morgan Foster
Dadaist Stargazer
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, …
War
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 …
Too Hard to Be
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 …
