Hey all, this is my first time posting, and ive only been writing poetry for a few months now so if anyone could give me any advice it would be welcome. I admit to not having any idea of what im doing in advance.

And yes, i saw there was a category for discussion, but i thought I'd wait til i have an idea of what im doing before i venture in there.
I hope this poem is considered "G",


"I saw her"

I drove by
Her.
The most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
It was like someone slipped 3D glass over my eyes.
I could see her
x-ray beauty.
dyed black Barbie doll hair.
Barbie doll skin
But
Without the suntan.

her eyes,
were like the earth, and her butt,
and other
big round things.

I wanted to park the car.
And say “hey”.
“im oliver”.
or something to that extent
maybe pepper in some
“your most beautiful girl ive ever seen”’s
in there too

a nanosecond of passing
her
To fantasize
Of choking her
With my affection
Until my love dripped from the corner of
her lips

she was surrounded by her followers
like plants trying to grow their way out of the shade
on top of each other
for that last bit of sunlight
all worshipping her like mayans on the temple
and the sun god
pining for
her
I wanted to be one of them
And
pine for her

Welcome, Oliver, to Pip!

quote:
like plants trying to grow their way out of the shade

for that last bit of sunlight



This was really lovely!

And I learned a new expression "to pine for", the German equivalent sounds good to be used in such a situation.

Love,
Margherita

Welcome Oliver

I like the same line Margharita liked.
This seems to get better and more intense as it runs toward the end and that's a good thing.

I suppose if you made it real complicated you could call it
.
.
Oliver Twist
.
.
.
But then that would be just silly. Forgive me for that.

Welcome to Pips.
Ditto for the 'plants' line cited by others...it's cool.

thank you guys for the comments, its always interesting to get anothers perspective besides your own, like i liked that line about the plants, but i was surprised to see that it was everyone else's favorite as well.
