Though my absence may make it seem
like I have disappeared,
the poems that I've left behind
make sure that I'm still here
sorry about not posting in awhile, though i doubt my short absence phased anyone, i made sure i left behind some reading material before my departure

I've cut open my eyes
And to my surprise,
I found an old carousel projector
With millions of upsidedown pictures inside.

The machine starts to whir,
And my life flashes by,
Every memory frame by frame,
On these convenient little slides

Every laugh, and every smile
Every absence of joy,
Those slides seem to last longer on this carousel of poise.
My friends were talking about writing poetry and it's admittedly been awhile since I've written anything so I decided ***** it one more wouldn't hurt, I was gonna touch it up a bit here and there but tbh I can't be bothered, it was also gonna be longer butttttttttt :p (also if someone says carousel of poise doesn't make any sense too bad deal with it I do what I want)

When I die
I want to be cremated
and have my ashes mixed with paint
just so someone can s
                                       p
                                         r
                                           e
                                             a
                                                d me
                                across a canvas.
Now paint me like one of your french girls

Her hair burns
in brazen  embers
along side her  hazel  eyes.
A brilliant afterglow trails    her   ,
coating the   fields
in a blazing
auburn  .
If  only  she  knew
of her  effortless
magnificence  ,
I never write stuff like this, let alone about someone I know, and if she's reading this then welp (I had posted this on a diff account but I'm moving to here instead ***** it)

Pentasyllabic,
Heptasyllabic, and then
Pentasyllabic
I wrote this for national poetry month last year hope you all enjoy this as much as my English instructor did

The world forces us to grow up
through agony and Pain.
Is happiness even worth it,
when you can lose it all again?
We try to cheer ourselves up,
though we know it's in vain.
We can never stay happy,
theres no escaping Pain.
this poem is a few years old, but i hope everyone reading strongly disagrees with younger Thomas

Icarus takes flight
   Error: Access out of bounds
Buffer overflow
Hopefully you all like this as much as i did after writing it.
Also check out my other haikus, they can be a bit offensive and some silly, but i think theyre pretty good

'Tis not the tender
Paper betwixt mine cheeks, 'tis
Mine hand that greets me

For fragile parchment
Hath been punctured by me, the
Derrière-keeper
Elegant **** jokes are fun
