Daring Move for Me

I was having my semi-annual school crap clean up when I found some work I had done for my creative writing class. I decided to daringly put one of my poems on here. This one was, not to toot my own horn, a hit with my peers.

"Burning Diabetics are not Delicious"

In a hip Vietnamese cafe
There's a classy ad for creme brulee,
"Fire + Sugar= Tasty"
Still it doesn't make sense logically.

One of my friends used reason
To come to the conclusion
"Tasty - Sugar = Fire"

We rushed home to do experiments
Stuffing the smart one with sugar-free treats
Although it was not what she wanted.
Then in the kitchen, her body erupted.

We poured sugar on the flames
Snacked on her delicious limbs
Because "Fire + Sugar = Tasty"

I like it Nic. Very Post-Modern. We will have poetry readings when we move in together.
