Diet coke
slowly
and surely
becomes
the blood
sweat
and tears
of my essence.

[i have a feeling most won't understand it.]

so foul and fair a day i have not seen.  - macbeth act 1, scene 3

You're right, I don't understand it. Congrats on 100 though!    

If you define cowardice as running away, tripping and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

this is a bit weird..i mean you could interpret in many ways- so many facets are possible. one could be( this is the one that i would take) that youre feeling artifical all over like diet coke, another could be that youre dieting has taken control of your body- in which case i urge you to seek superior help.or that, being a black liquid, you feel really dark inside....it could go on, but ill stop here and congratulate you on your 100th  

Congratulations Jen!

good poem jen, i enjoyed it a LOT!

see the glass crack like a flower opening

coke representing something you enjoy/dislike (as realting to life) and the "diet" part hmm, not complete? since diet is taken away from the regular(life)... anwyays that it as you consume as to use symbolism as to drink and it becomes part of you which adds to your essence...yea i SUCK at intrepreting poems..hehe...i FULLY enjoyed thi simple yet quite deep might i say. oh, CONGRATS JENN!!!! welcome to the three digits!..

I got something out of it, but it's probably not what you meant. I'd say it but I hate to be wrong.   Very interesting.... me likes. And by the way.. congrats.

Hm...  I like your comment at the beginning, lol.  I'll give it a shot.  You're describing the effects of the external world of capitalistic cutthroat dealings on your inner self.

At any rate, this was a cool poem.

I think there have been a lot of great ideas, a lot I would NEVER have thought of.
When I first read it I thought maybe something along the lines of being a knock off of the original thing, you know, like a spin-off series from a really good television show that has a similar theme but none of the qualities that make the original good...
I personally like diet coke...but hey.

A great write none the less.

~I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say but I'm working on it~
