My aggressive journey to say a few words. (AKA) I'll be saying stuff that won't matter to many of you but it'll ALL mean something to me.

Alright. I didn't think you guys would really like this one. Maybe if you would read my first poem I posted on JoeUser. It is called "One Moment In The Game Of Life". I, honestly, like it more. It started my 'temporary fix' on poetry. Anyways, I guess I might as well try out this one. I have a feeling this one won't be as good because I wrote it on an "off" day.


"Being Me"

When you walk the streets what do you see?
Well, you won't see me.

When you go to the park what do you see?
Well, it won't be me.

When you go the the gym what do you see?
Well, you won't find me.

If you go to the arcade what do you see?
Well, you could find me.

If you go to the comic book store what do you see?
Well, it could be me.

If you go to find calm what do you find?
Well, i might drop by.

If you go to find a friend who do you find?
Well, you might get me.

If you go to find unique traits where do you go?
Well, I might be a stop.

If you go to find me when would you go?
Well, you might try now.

If you know who I am how long did you look?
Well, it might have been a while.

If you don't know who I am how long did you look?
Well, it might have been a while less.

If you want to know me what would you do?
Well, you might want to read on.

When you're done searching what will do?
Well, you might just find me below.

Here's where the searching stops
I leave you saying, "'I' am me and 'me' is who I am."

As calm as can be,

As unique as me.






Alright, don't be too harsh. And again, I welcome your comments. So, I guess that means you can be too harsh, huh?

Capt. over and out!

Capt~I like this poem AS MUCH as the first one! Dude I think you found a new calling in life: Captain Cornbread~really cool poet-dude. WOW. I don't know why you thought this one was inferior to the first one? That's just not true dude. And I am sure some other JU folks are gonna wanna see more of your poems in a hurry! So you better find some of those other ones now, or else write some brand new ones ASAP! . Really nice work! So how does it feel to be a cyberpoet now?

You know, I'm gonna have to say it again. Thanks for the complements. I just kinda figured that since this one was one I wrote because I had to for school and I wasn't ready that it would be reflected in my writting. Well, maybe not. Umm... I think I'll go back to how I used to write. With a few poems here and there, of course.

This was good. I liked the cleverness of it. It also would be fun to read out loud.

Well, did you read it outloud? I read it to my English II class last year. No one was paying any attention of course. Well one of my friends was who just so happens to have a journal or two filled with poems just from the last two years.

AWESOME!! I'll have to hand it to ya Capt. I never thought you, one of my best friends to be that good of a poet. lol. You should've told me you were a poet. I liked this one as well as the last one, but I think this one is better. It really does discribe the sweet guy that I know, the true you. I like to write poetry myself, but personally I don't think that I'm really anygood at it. You otta be thankfull that you are blessed with the skill of poetry. Well untill next time.....

Well thanks carebear *cough* manbeast *cough* LOL But seriously, thanks. I just don't see the poetry as being that good. Maybe I'm just too down on myself.
