I hate poetry.

I'm not really here

So much that I was once dragged kicking and screaming to a website that had word tile things on it, and I had to make a poem using 20 tiles. Want to see it? It's very very bad. But still, I won a competition, and got it published. In a book that costs £60. smiley - sadface So a huge scam to make people send in money, but still, I was fairly impressed. Anyway, here it is (and you might want to mention the us of tiles, or not. smiley - smiley) -

Him

bemused charm is something unthought
laughter trapped here in my naked love
hot desire suddenly spewing
his smile the world

Weeeeeeeeeeeell, I thought it might be something that might get moderated if I were terribly concise about its meaning. But I could be wrong. smiley - smiley
