Playing catch-up?

So, I got a few days behind on the poetry challenge thing, and essentially it all comes down to excitement about The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Great Gatsby, and yeah, let's be honest, laziness. But no matter! I don't give up. So I'm still doing this. And so you get this post full of three whole poems! Lucky you!

***

Day four: Write a haiku about anything.

Listen to your words,
Like the wind across the sea-
Whispering softly.

***

Day five: Write a three line poem about lemons without using the following words: lemon, yellow, round, fruit, citrus, tart, juicy, peel, and sour.

A wedge in my water

That adds that little kick necessary

To be flavored, but not quite lemonade.

***

Day six: Write a poem of any length incorporating every word from your latest Facebook status.

I've never been a fan of the movies

Rarely have I lined up at midnight

To see the latest films on the big screen

But this is the year of my favorite stories coming to life

Already I've seen two trailers

Beautiful sets, brilliant castings

Two novels, both life-changing,

Are being made real

So far, they've made great impressions

Have kept the spirit and themes alive

Twice this year I'll be heading into a theater at midnight

And I absolutely cannot wait.

I apologize that these were exceptionally bad, but brilliant author and my spirit animal Maureen Johnson once said that writers have to allow themselves to suck before they become good, so hopefully this means I'm on the road to becoming good.
