Never again will I complain of the crammed seat in the back of a mini-van,
or the cold floor in a sleazy hotel.
For this truly is luxury,
My feet reclining against the John
my head bathed in the day's waning light.
I stretch upward and yawn contentedly,
a lion surveying his kingdom.
looking on as poor wretches recline in squat blue seats
bending and twisting in fantastical forms the thought of which would make there 50 year old selves need to call their chiropractor.
I listen to the card games,
to the hard pointed little comments meant to draw blood,
the menacing silence
the grind of teeth as hours slowly meld together.
Yes oh Lord it is good for us to be here,
but let us not make three tents.
A sanctuary for one is all I require.

You're a good writer. I like the idea of this assignment--I may have to do a similar project with my students sometime. What were the criteria for the blog entries? Length requirement? Subject matter? Just anything you felt like writing?
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, thanks for stopping by my blog to comment and fulfil part of your scholarly obligation.
Well... It is a intro to computing class so the main objective is to understand the process of blogging. That said content was not that much of a concern. We were told to write at least a paragraph for post just to make sure no one did anything outrageous. But as I already had some creative works that I wanted to get out there my professor did not mind the fact that I used my poetry.
