November Thoughts - Night

• Nov 19


So I've been training a new night auditor the last two night and have been working the night shift. Which is a pain when you have to jump back and forth from daytime to nighttime to daytime again. Anyway here is my attempt to be creative, I got my rhyme scheme down, but since I have two English majors who read my blog I'll have to ask them not to rip apart my meter. My meter schemes just weren't working out and towards the end I got tired of working on them.

Apr. 26 - Tunnel

Apr. 23rd - CourtTV

Day 23

So on Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't have morning class, and I don't ever really sleep past 8:30 so I end up getting on my computer, and turning on the TV on which there isn't much on in the mornings... except Court TV shows like Judge Mathis, Peoples Court, Judge Hatchet.. and the such... so this is inspired by listening to cases on those TV shows.

Apr. 21st - Dr. Pepper

So I have been working on this for a little while, saving cans and then also working on the Ode. I wanted to make a multiple stanza Ode but the rhyming pattern was killing me for some reason just couldn't get anything to work. So yeah this is what I go.

Apr. 19th - Jungle

Ok so this is a really weird poem… that needs this disclaimer… It was done in a sleep deprived state while sitting in my philosophy of eastern religions class. I was zoning out and just started writing whatever came in my head not thinking about what it said. I actually came up with 2 poems that way and somehow they both had rhyming lines and everything… the first one is kinda dark and weird. This is the 2nd one which is more hopeful in nature I feel. I'm not sure what it's really supposed to mean it's kind of a combination of subconscious thought with at least a little of it being influenced by sitting in my eastern religion class I can tell. So hopefully you don't think I'm a freak now for coming up with this weird thing… the "{illegible} " is in there because I seriously cannot make out what I wrote there, like I said I was just scribbling this down without thinking. Some of the words are missing 2-3 letters in them randomly or run together with each other, but I was able to figure everything else out. So hopefully you don't think I'm too weird.

Apr. 12th - Laundry

Ugh Laundry everyone hates doing it :P got 6 dryer loads tumbling right now (I like to go as far as I can if you can't tell) Anyway here are some Cinquains about laundry.












A couple other thoughts....
So I'm 22 and am a failure when it comes to folding shirts, if you see someone do it at a store they are like boom-boom-boom perfect fold...I however always end up with a wade of t-shirt, which is why I have to rely heavily on hangers :P
Also don't you hate it when one of the dryers doesn't actually dry your clothes much and you end up with a damp pile.. I do and when it happens my room turns into a clothes line, every place I can hang something is used to air it out better, mostly my bed fills in as the main place...

Apr. 3rd - Sidewalk

So this is my attempt at poetry I guess, Hopefully it isn’t dreadful. There is a small explanation on it at the end.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Gibbering, Jabbering, Squawking

Thoughts scream into your head

What is your discussion

Party, test, homework?

Or maybe an emotional breakdown

Slowly and aimlessly walking

Unaware, lost in your own little world

Introducing…. The Cell Phone User



Inhaling, Exhaling, Relaxing

Dirty air fills your lungs

What is your need

Stress, tension, pleasure?

Or maybe just too addicted to wait until home

Smoky trail following

Unconcerned, about others around

Introducing…. The Smoker



Darting, Swerving, Careening

Speed is your desire

What is your rush

Exam, work, restroom issues?

Or maybe you just want to get an early start on that Sudoku before class.

An outcast on the run

Unwanted, on the sidewalk or the Streets

Introducing…. The Bike Rider



Gawking, Listening, Observing

Sights fill your mind

What is your interest

Engineering, Management, Agriculture?

Or maybe just lunch

Moving like a herd of cattle

Unstoppable, stampeding everything in its path

Introducing…. The Campus Tour Group



Prodding, laughing, stumbling

Socializing is your bond

What is your conversation

Friends, Sports, Class?

Or maybe just mindless chit chat

A mass of bodies moving together
Unconsiderate, hogging the entire path
Introducing…. The Sidewalk Hogs









-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



My motivation on this was people/groups of people who are annoying to meet or pass on the sidewalk. I’ve racked up a decent number of miles walking to and from campus the last few years and overtime I have come to identify my fellow sidewalk users into I guess groups or stereotypes, so this is my depictions of some of the annoying ones.



As for the poetry, I don’t know any true poetry styles or anything so I kind of made this up as I went and tried to develop a pattern or theme to it. Took some work but personally I’m pleasantly surprised with my work. Maybe I’ll try some more poetry later in the challenge.



*As a side note, I have no objections to people choosing to smoke I just prefer them not to do it while walking down the street where I have to follow in there smoke trail.
