Sororities Poems | Examples

I
Do you connect with struggling writers
Would you know it
Harry the Weaver, poet
Graces communities, fraternities,
(Sororities, too?)

II
To have someone read your scraps of work
Going back as far as is feasible
prince HH reads closely, generously 
With the gentleness of weavers,
Care, calmness, goodness - fruit of the Spirit
Makes it tolerable to wait to be heard
Pleasure to be respectfully read
To be free to write FREELY, profusely

I’m so thrilled to announce my acceptance
To my highest choice university!
These next four years will fly by in a glance,
But from the debt I will never be free. 

My lighter classes will give me migraines,
And my harder classes will mean break downs.
I will never recover from the strain
Of my degree. I will leave my hometown.

The sororities poison my liver.
My absent roommate won’t pick up her trash.
I consider the flow of the river,
And if the waves and my body will thrash.

Cheers! I got into the school of my dreams.
But these four years aren’t as good as they seem.

-  cold
the sky is crowding in my thoughts they’re on - 
		
  		  
             they’re on - wind


they’re on	       
		   
            museums (?)

and other places –
          that make me feel –


like other
	    people –
		don’t consider –

         
what I consider –


	that they
		 have –

sororities,

 	and fraternities,

	and –          -  weeping willows!...


there’s a place –

	for every spinning wheel,

	there’s a place for an ultimate demise,

there’s a place – 

                            for every number and every prime number in between.
