Poetry in the SS&P

[april]

Her teacher didn't seem to mind, she even won an award in the 9th grade for her drug poem

The book I was asked to write which counted for 50% of my grade was just as raw, my teacher was 25, fresh from college, she got what I was saying, my words touched her, which was awesome I expected to get shit on rflmao.
My binders were covered in drawings of shrooms and pot leafs, not like I made any attempt to hide my true self, I think she respected my honesty, mom was not as impressed lmfao

And sadly yes I took my first hit of acid at age 11-12, can't remember, then I started smoking weed.
Trauma makes people do strange things, I wanted to explore things, so I did....

My friends mom dared my friend to eat a large mushroom when he was just 9.. She says she didn't think he'd actually do it but I think she's a bitch.. That's child abuse IMO.

My parents MADE me eat mushrooms when i was a kid. But they were the boring kind. cn

Props to your teacher for listening to you instead of preaching, and to you for the courage to be yourself at that age. That's perhaps early for acid and psychedelics, I started smoking cigarettes and weed at about 12-13. I hear you about the trauma, my childhood was rough, too, and I needed various forms of escape. We do what we gotta do...

This is one of my mom's favorite quotes from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. She has Alzheimer's now, so she states it more than I'd like, but I thought I'd share. Seems appropriate for this sub-forum...


"I sent my soul through the invisible, some letters of that after-life to spell, and by and by my soul did return, and answered, 'I myself am Heaven and Hell.'"

"A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, and my loaf between your jugs" was mine. cn

A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own!

----Emily Dickinson​

Another Frost Favorite of mine...


Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

The Fifth of November

Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!

Though I think not

To think about it,

I do think about it

And shed tears

Thinking about it.

I like that Z.S....I like that alot
Makes me feel like the author lost something important in their life.
Love poetry when I'm high...

 

[Zaehet Strife]

I like that poetry means different things, for different people.

 

[Zaehet Strife]

However deep your
Knowledge of the scriptures,
It is no more than a strand of hair
In the vastness of space;
However important appears
Your worldly experience,
It is but a drop of water in a deep ravine.

 

[Zaehet Strife]

Not believing in anything I just sit,
listening to my breathing
After twenty-five years
It still goes in and out.

 

[Zaehet Strife]

Nowhere is here
Never is now
End of the tunnel
No tunnel
No me.

 

[cannabineer]

With our first breath
we embrace that life and pain
are one.
(It's why newborns howl.)

Like blood coursing into
a thawing foot,
the return of hope
is a sharper agony
than its previous loss.

Under unseasonable
cloudburst's wet attention
(do you smell it?)
Flinty-wet
the desert screams
alive!

Grasping attachment,
Insisting on trouble:
My life as a fool.

Grasping a Path,
Insisting on my view:
My life as a fool.

Grasping, Insisting:
Fool.

I think there's something wrong with me
think there's something wrong with me I
there's something wrong with me I think
something wrong with me I think there's
wrong with me I think there's something
with me I think there's something wrong
me I think there's something wrong with
I think there's something wrong with me
