Why I want to be stupid famous

Why I want to be stupid famous

  1. So I can have another baby and give it a really stupid name.
  2. So I can get a really ugly jacked up hair cut and see how many women get the same style.
  3. So I can have my own show and flash my big boobs to millions of people (no, really, I do have big boobs)
  4. So I can be really stupid and get paid for it.
  5. So I can one day be on one of those “Whatever happened to…” shows.
  6. So I can be considered “fascinating” by the likes of Barbara Walters.
  7. So I can send my child with the stupid name to a guru when she turns 9.
  8. So I can send my child with the stupid name to rehab when she turns 16.
  9. So I can get $100,000 a month in child support from the father of the child with the really stupid name.
  10. So I can go to rehab every year.
  11. So I can wear ugly dresses in public.
  12. So I can have my own reality TV show and parents everywhere will say to their teens “WHY are you watching that CRAP?”
  13. So I can eat your brain.
  14. So I can drink and drive and not give a crap.
  15. So I can have an affair and write a book about it.
  16. So people will say “Why is she more famous than ______________ ? (fill in the blank with your favorite teacher, artist, scientists, writer, carpenter, doctor, fish and wildlife expert, food bank volunteer….)

 

 

A need you dare not admit.

It is a dark stormy day…

Don’t worry this isn’t the start of a bad novel, and by the title of this post it isn’t a bad romance, bromance or tale of chocolate covered anything.

It is a link to poetry…STOP RIGHT THERE. Do not go away.

A lot of people claim they don’t like poetry. That is because it was force fed to them in Middle School and High School in the most boring way possible. And it was usually some horrible Victorian dribble about Grecian Urns or some long forgotten battle. Yuck, I mean, what 15 year old wouldn’t fall asleep (and if you were wide awake eating it up don’t worry. I liked the stuff too. But I was the exception.)

Anyway, thanks to the wonders of the Internet thousands, if not millions have discovered poetry. Words and feelings they never imagined. Words of beauty and discovery and hope and faith and longing. Words of horror and humor and fantasy.

And YOU too can write poetry. Just let the words flow.

In the meantime I highly recommend you take a look at the blog posting link I’ve posted below. You’ll be surprised at the variety of the poems featured. You’ll like it. Take my word on that.
