When I decided to write my first poem, I thought back to the days,
when we were studying poetry and the teacher would amaze,
she'd make me write down words and things, I'd be chasing praise.
But looking back at my book now, I know what I should do,
and so here follows my glossary of things I'll write for you:

I have - Alliteration, Antagonist, Allegory and Anapest.
Characterisation, Complication, Convention and Connotation.
Elegy, Elision, Epigram and Exposition.
Free verse, Falling action, Falling meter and also Fiction.
Literal language, Imagery, Lyric poem and Irony.
Rising action, Resolution, Rising meter with Recognition.

Acatalectic, Anacreontic, Amphimacer and Amphibrachic.
Cliché, Common Measure, Couplets and Catalectic.
Deconstruction, Dispondee, Dialect Verse with a Dictionary.
Iambic Meter, Incantation, Impromptu with Inspiration.
Laureates and Limericks, Light Verse poems and Linguistics.
Metaphors, Mock-Heroics, Middle English and Movement Poets.

Oh gosh that seems a little worse, than I had it made to be,
I was expecting just to write a poem 'bout my cat and me.
I guess it's harder than it looks so I'll just give up now;
I'll let those big brave poet people, write them all somehow.
Just my thoughts on education's version of poetry, I rather enjoyed writing this one.

Eftsoons, thee would fain depart and chasten thy chance
Meseems to be fond of thou beloved with fears:
Harken thy anacreontic jovial at once,
For whosoever conveys love shall drown on tears.
Thee may not ratify affections I bestowed;
Each morn may bring no reasons to behold the sun.
Yon enigmatic events has come and winnowed
Beseech, to cease the fires, afore thy love has gone.
Somehow, blossoms will wither, as rivers will dry
Mayhap, thy heart I own shall be shattered in twain,
Welkin rings, pearls cannot retrieve ev'ry goodby
Maimed and futile; whence, no one can withstand the pain.
If these velvet ropes would seize thine eyne twixt the thrill,
Utter prayers, for Heaven would burn me in hell.

Oh, at last,
I'm passed it,
Those feelings,
I trashed it,
I'm leaving,
Won't last it,
She's squealing,
I smashed it,
I'm bleeding,
From blast hit,
That **** hurt,
But I'm not done,
I ate dirt,
That wasn't fun,
Psyche, I spurt,
Out a **** ton,
Then she squirt,
But I'm her son,
I'm no pervert,
Now I'm done...

But I'm back,
Talking random,
I'm not black,
Yet I'm candid,
When my smack,
Becomes platinum,
There's a stack,
For the ransom,
Chill with hoodlums,
Always get caught,
That just bout' sums,
Up what happens not,
Throw **** together,
See if it works,
If it doesn't,
Keep it in still,
Cause it makes a mark.
An very random Anacreontic freestyle.

My eyes are spellbound
by your fascinating frame,
by your hazel eyes
that shine like brilliant moissanite,
by your delightful eyebrows,
your lively pink lips
that I wish to meet
and seep into the music in motion
gravitating my soul
to bright clouds of bliss.

You bring me serenity,
replenish my energy,
instill sweet dreams
in my thoughts,
catching my heart
with the electric verbs
dancing in your fingers,
loving how you infuse me
with unending happiness,
all up in my subconscious mind,
feeling so soft in your shores
of overpowering emotions
taking control of my being.

You are limitless sea
of satisfaction that relaxes me
in the most wondrous ways,
sensually kissing my toes,
stroking me steady and slow,
looking into my eyes,
drowning into my increasing moans,
every ounce of astounding depths.

I’m so vulnerable
in your deep chemistry
of overly excited dreams,
your touch, your taste, your smell,
an awakening of anacreontic equations
boarding my ship, making the romance
rise spontaneously, all inside me,
speaking naughty to me,
poking your tongue out at me,
pummeling me so incessantly
that there was no greater place to be
than to be with you,
feeling you obliterate my nation.

I became so gay
When I gazed
At his pleasing being
Lost in his ardent locs
The rich black
And golden-brown hues
His deep caramel skin
Adorned with glittering hotness
I was in delirium
Undoubtedly lovesick
Wanting to discover
Everything about him
Vanish into his anacreontic existence

— The End —
