Magnetic Poetry

Shadows explode across
his face because
of me and gentle
creatures enchant you
my love nightmare
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celebrate a spirit breathing
hear a child leap like her dream
ask perfect wanderings
why me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
he was like a hero in the basement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
new gravity inside the heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giants escape the moon
through a battle
I zip by like a firebug
and take my man
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn life around
relent from shadow
throw off cold
and change
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A thousand years love
I dream his song
only to chase the feeling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clouds leap as they fall
sleep good
so will we
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bring color to my thoughts
perfect love this evening
I wander through strange sky
waiting hard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She is beneath him
no special story
if he were a child
she would tell her secrets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The great thing about magnetic poetry is that you only have a select choice of words to choose from, so your diction really does matter. I know in Creative Writing (the class) they use magnetic poetry. I love it!
