Best Interview Poems

Living amid the blurred lines of my reflections
Stark cold fears snow me blanket my resolve
Nestled my leafless core begging for rebirth

Patches of life clumped to the reality of what is what was

One walked out
One walked in
I sat nervously in reception
Waiting for my torture to begin

Bouts of laughter came from the interview room
Knocking my confidence with each bout
I didn’t want to be there anymore
Tempted to just forget it and walk out

The door opened she came out smiling

Where do I start? Ha! I've lost my cool.
Do beg my pardon - I'm a blubbering fool.  
I'm here on behalf of the Soul Deep Express -
To interview you in the hope you'll confess.  

Oh dear - well, at least I'm not being...

He left home when he was barely thirteen,
Said he got tired of getting beat, by an old man that was down right mean.
Said it might have been different, had he done something wrong,

Me: How did you start out?
Sand: I was born a rock. About 5 inches round and weighting
about a six pounds.

 
Me: Now did you become just a tiny grain of sand?
How did you get so small?

As I walked through a meadow singing a song,
I heard a hissing voice say, "Hello. Come along."
It came from beneath a patch of thorny weeds,
whispered, "Are you one of those good seeds?"
I feared the snake would strike from coiled position,

We'll start this in-depth interview
By asking, please tell me more about you

I'm just a stone, one of many
I am really just ten a penny
Nothing interesting for your notes
I just sit here and watch the boats

Perhaps a witness will attest
That you are in fact the best?

(A...
