my accidental poetry

never once mentioned


i get the idea
a couple hours
that song for her again
eventually came out
came back home

a couple weeks
if i scared her that's okay
stretches me over
who was to go?
i had got out

walked to go back
obviously changed her again
finish the job
been in my head
in search of no place

we went in
she wanted to go
i tried to call all weekend
and it's all good
still all good

funny how this one came about. friday morning, i was making a journal entry about my new gf, and afterward i spy a four page rambling about how my ex was being stupid at the time. so i ripped it out, and tore it up into little squares. looking at the squares, i had an idea. and started writing down some of the little sentence fragments that made sense. and they fell INTO THIS EXACT ORDER. i thought that was pretty fucking cool. my accidental poetry. i've only changed one word to fix the grammar.

    The Dadaists used to do the same thing with words out of hats, dictionaries, etc. Some pretty cool stuff

    Check out Tristan Tzara - a whole lot of random stuff there

    do you write a lot?
  • hehe, I got you to dig for my stuff eh? That last one was done using the same method. It's too bad I forgot about this forum between then and now. I've only posted a couple things, I think.

    I do a fair bit of writing, I've been doing it off and on since I picked up the guitar 5 years ago. It's only within the last few weeks, though, that I've actually tried to arrange a song of my own. My horrible, horrible singing has had me putting it off forever :p

    I will post more here if I can, but I'm not sure if I would consider my old stuff to be worth posting anymore. We'll see
