Poetry... nonsense

Your blog,
its cool.
Like a hog
in a pool.
Like a pog
at school.
What I'm saying is, "I like you,
Do you like me too?"


Hope you like it, it was our "nonsense poem" for class

poetry.. or something like it.

via here

Hello my dears,
well, I am an English major, as you may or may not know. I am currently enrolled in a creative writing class, and for the first half of the class we are writing poems. For me this is rather difficult, but I have decided to share a few with you, and if you wouldn't mind leaving some feedback in the comments I would really love that!
Thanks!

Poem 1
Camping Companion (also called Silence as an answer)

I called out your name,
but was met with
Silence.
Nothing.
Not even a whisper.
I knew you were there,
I felt you when I reached out my trembling fingers,
and tried to roll closer,
but you didn't answer me.
You were tumbling through the treacheries of night.
Searching,
like me,
for a place to rest your head.
I was there,
ready to provide a pillow,
but you refused, and let your head be caressed by
the cold, hard, gound.
As you rolled away,
with a swish of your sleeping bag,
my heart sank.
Stars,
that were once
beacons in the night, guiding my heart
faded away.
Like my feelings for you,
gone,
with the flood of the moonlight.

Poem 2
Sleeping Bags



Swish. Swish.
Her sleeping bag brushed against his.
The polyester piece of protection
was preventing more than the cold from seeping in.
She rolled closer.
He rolled away.
Or was he searching for a different warmth?
As she lay there, alone and cold,
she pondered his thoughts.
She longed for love, but at the moment wanted something simple.
She merely wanted the warmth of another.
The heat, the connection, the vitality of someone else.
But all was lost on a mere micommunication.

Valentine's day camping trip


Hello dears, here are the camping trip pictures as promised.

houston....we may have an addiction..



Hello darlings,


Well I have reached a high point in my life.... but many others may consider it a low point. Haha, but I am going to leave it up to you guys to form your own opinion. Let me set the scene for you we have one starbucks close to my college campus, and so I have studied there, chatted there, hung out there many times in the past 3years, but this year has been different. This year I have had my car on campus so I was able to get Starbucks multiple times in a week, and more often then not in the place of breakfast. I have become friends with several of the baristas, and several others go to school with me, and so they have not only learned my name, but they have also learned my order. But this morning was the clencher... as I was waiting at the bar, the barista finished my drink, slid it towards me as he said, "Josslynn, the usual" and smiled. It totally made my day, haha, I know lame, but funny, because that has been what I have wanted... a coffee shop that knows me. I was always jealous of those people who walk in, know everyone in the place, and get their order first because the barista knew them..... and now I am that person... SUCCESS!
Have a wonderful day lovelies!

Mid week already???

Hello my loves,
Well it was quite the weekend, tons of fun, and good times with friends, but also quite the learning experience for me. So, before I share memories, and pictures I want to take time to be serious. I am continually learning about myself, and the life I am leading, and this weekend some things took place that caused me to question myself, and my roommates helped me to look deeper to the root of those things, and it was very enlightening. On top of all that I was just thinkng that there are so many beautiful things in the world that we just need to be reminded of, I think we just get bogged down by the tragedies of life, and forget to look for the good anymore, and as well we get so wrapped up in our own worlds, and lives, and forget those around us. I am not saying that the things in our life are not important because at the time I am sure they seem life altering, but we need to remember... "this too shall pass" Life really is too short to get so worked up about things.. allow them due time, and then move forward, constantly growing and learning.
Here are two wonderful sites I have written about previously... but I just cant get enough of their joy, as well one site that is such an encouragement to my everyday life:

-why not actually send a love letter rather then just write it on here
-read these when you are overwhelmed by the bad in the world
- her Make Your Life Amazing series from january is absolutely life altering.

Ok, thats all, I promise to return tomorrow with pictures from my camping extravaganza.
