I can not say whether these will be very good, but as this is my blog, I think I have the right to try. This is my poem-a-day blog, which will last until January. Feedback will keep me honest.

And if you hate my poetry (and you well might; don’t think that will stop me), I recommend you listen to the marvelous Jesca Hoop instead. I can all but guarantee you will enjoy her.

I want to tell you
you’re wrong
Because maybe you are
I certainly think so

Your shadow would not agree with me
even as it stands there
a negative of you
It still moves like you and knows things
like what it sounds like when you cry

Does the world need one more person
telling everyone else to think like them?
I would not agree with me
if I stood where your shadow stood

or maybe I would.
