The Story of Jeffrey... Part 3PART 3: Vacation   
XXI. Vacation   
Black skin with red pants and an overzealous smile,  Begging all the children to come and stay a while,  Then roller coasters steal their attention away,  Giving weary parents some time off for a day.   
But in the land of magic and castles up high,  A little boy sits wondering the reasons why,  “Uncle Kurt” is yelling nonsense at his mommy,  About some guy who’s a drummer named Tommy.   
A smack reverberates through the mystical land,  So then at the park his mommy could barely stand,  But he recalls with a star The Story of Jeffrey... Part 3

The Story of Jeffrey... Part 2PART 2: Memory   
 
XI. Memory   
Remember last December?  With the fire glowing ember?  Nothing at all last Fall?  And the stack of leaves quite tall?   
Not even Brother Steven,  Who cried drops when you were leavin’?  Or Nurse Betty Derse,  The pneumonia and the hearse?   
You couldn’t or shouldn‘t,,  And I dare say that you wouldn’t,  Have forgotten how rotten,  Your father was to go trottin’?   
Do you see even me?  And remember our long story?  How shitty what a pity,  This whole thing is insanity! The Story of Jeffrey... Part 2

The Story of Jeffrey... Part 1THE STORY OF JEFFREY ZINSKY   
PART 1: Introduction   
 
I. Introduction   
What does Jeffrey’s life mean,  To a humble fisherman,  Living by the River Seine,  Frying dinner in his pan.   
Or to an elder beggar man,  Stationed on the train,  Hand outstretched in a desperate plan,  From Florida to Maine.   
Does Jeffrey’s story reach the ears,  Of a whore in Roppongi,  Or the tavern selling beers,  In the place called Ggeonggy?   
Je ne sais pas Jeffrey,  Yo no se hombre,  Mu-lae-yo Jae-pree,  Or simply, “ The Story of Jeffrey... Part 1

Rotations of the SunRotations of the Sun   
 As I prepare for the day, one filled of joviality and celebration of a man’s life, I find myself filled only with thoughts of death.  Of demise.  This mortal coil, which binds all men to slavery and destruction.  The future of Him.   When the father waits until his age has numbered to bear children, this sort of philosophical conundrum will invariably present itself, before the child has grown his own forest of years.  The process of duality completes, as I glance at the patch of bald inherited from Him.   Coughing in the hallway.  Rotations of the Sun

Summer Poetry Challenge AGAINST YOU

Thu May 21, 2009, 8:08 AM
  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day
  • Reading: Poetry Contest Submissions
  • Watching: Terminator Salvation in DBOX
  • Playing: Texas Hold 'Em
  • Eating: Chicken
  • Drinking: Beer
I saw this on ~GainaSpirit's journal, and I was fascinated. But it's a picture challenge, and I'm not much of a visual artist. That's when I thought about how much fun it would be to write poems about these themes, instead.

So, I've created a little Summer Poetry Challenge. We're still taking contestants, all summer. I've done a few new things. You'll notice that there are letters before each contestant. Next to each theme in the list of 100 below, I've put the 2 - 3 letters referring to each contestant, next to the poems they've done. And if that weren't enough... it's CLICKABLE. So join or read their poems. Either way, have a great summer!
