Arizona (a love letter)

Author's note: This is from a poetry series I write and post on my author website blog, called "Notes on a Bar Napkin." For more info, go to http://jenlynnanderson.com/blog.

I will never forget
These sweet nights
These nights of rhythm
of rhythm and sway –
The music is under my skin
Under my skin and in
my bones –
The music is permanent
because of you.
You grasp a piece
of my heart
My heart and you never knew
you held it.
And this
This heart bursts
Under the haze
The cloying haze
of a desert summer
night
And I reach
I reach
So far
So hard
And never
Can never
Will never grasp
What this all meant.
But I love
I love
You
all the same.

this is my masterpiece

I have this pic on my own blog -- it is from my three mag-po sets: Insult, Romance Novel, and Yiddish.

This is the greatest magpo poem ever created. I should know, I effin' created it.

william carlos williams is the WORST roommate ever.

I have used
the last of
the toilet paper
that you bought

and which you
were probably
hoping
to use this morning

Forgive me
it was needed
so absorbant
and so soft.

magpo is for eighteen-year-olds

I

you smell. surrender all wind.

II

suddenly
the sky vanished

III

you crush
the chill
from this
empty morning

IV

moon will drop his stars
let march come

V
begin to leave
yet
hear the song
remember
not a fling
a friend

VI

she usues summer sky as balm

The first

The first
Is always the worst
Though I fear I have nothing
to fear
Please be kind, please be cruel

Add at your will
There is just one rule
Everything added
Must be verse
Put it down
Get it out

Be what you feel you can be
Everything
You wish
Will come true
If here

I'm only kidding
Be kind
Be cruel
Be what you wish
Invitation
Terrible terrible terrible
I hope this brings you peace
