Updates: Media (lyrics) has a new layout. I could never figure out how to lay it out, but it's easier to navigate now. I'm still working on a better duplicate Mamblog mod. I'm trying to make submittions easier but the poetry form died for some reason. Quizzes are also on their way from the old site. Joomla content isn't very code friendly so I'm having to rewrite old code. You can still click on News > AH v21 > Screen if you wish to use the quizzes.
will there really be a "Morning"?
is there such a thing as "Day"?
could i see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like water lilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
of which i have never heard?
Oh some scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some wise man from the skies!
Please tell a little pilgrim
where the place called "Morning" lies!
--Emily Dickenson c. 1859 (untitled)
Do I really have to go to class?
Do I even need this school?
Could I just live off my parents
And then make them look like fools?
Would it flood my dreams like goblins?
Would it haunt me like a ghost?
Is it scary like that horror flick
When I screamed the very most?
Oh some psychic! Oh some witch!
Oh some satanist from hell!
Please explain to this young student
Why I need to learn to spell!
-Diana S****** c. 2001 (untitled)
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire,
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
--Robert Frost, "Fire and Ice," 1922
Some say death by electrocution is more humane
some say gas
from what i've experienced of pain
i side with those who are legally sane
but if we had to kill them twice
i think i know enough disdain
to say that for death electrocution
is as humane
for the legally insane
--Diana "Gas and Electrocution," 2001
i drive through a construction site,
they're building a house.
I drive close and slow down,
peering at the progress they've made.
I drive on to my destination.
A few days later
my tire is low.
I find a nail in it
and decide I have no choice
but to take it to get repaired.
While I'm there
I meet the most handsome man,
we exchange phone numbers.
And today I am married to him,
all because a nail went astray
from a construction site
and I ran over it
while driving in my car.
It was spring
and the rose court
was in full bloom.
I took many pictures
so you would not forget
the pace that we had met.
I asked them to be sent to you,
but you were forbidden
to converse with me.
Apparently
I was a bad influence.
But I kept sending them.
And now,
every time I see a rose
I think of you,
and how we met,
flinging our cafeteria tofu
into the rose garden
where the squirrels once lived.
