clusterflock wall of shame, Cooper Renner, April 20

Although I already humiliated myself with “He came and went / with utter smoothness,” I’ll contribute this as well.

Intro: This whole “poem” was a 14-liner, I think, though only the first 8 lines are coming to me now. I’m pretty sure I wrote this as a high school junior.

“April 20″

It glinted in my eyes,
Or was it that it shone
The night the moon fell from the sky
And vanished all alone?

The lights in the sky glowed.
I think a tear was in my eye.
Or was it the grass that was mowed
The night the moon fell from the sky?

    I grew up on pop songs and the hymnal. What do I know about poetry?

    Hey, I thought these were supposed to be posted anonymously by Christopher Walken?

    torn’b tears

    Shit, at least you have lines there, Coop. I went through an E.E.Cummings phase about that time that had me dumping the word box all over the page. You know:

    and every-
    where love stops

    a star

    drops

    in-
    to
    the
    void………

    Maybe we should stop this series now before someone gets hurt.

    “Maybe we should stop this series now before someone gets hurt.”

    …too late.
