Down The Hall (Pimple) by Blindpoetry
If you can hear a penny fall
You can hear me down the hall
When I see your face
It makes my heart beat at a faster pace
And its always a little gift to me
But if you catch me down the hall
My pulse might begin to fall
So you walk down the darkening hall
But you see nothing
You turn around
And you see me coming
So you run further down the hall
Away from it all
You turn around
You see me there
You continue to run
Thinking this game isn't fair
Your tears blind you
You cannot see
You trip and fall
And you run into me
You look up at me ; Tears covering your face
You bring your chin down
But I pull it up... and say
"Atleast you gave me a taste."

Poetry aint easy kiddo. I'd lend you my copy of "Poetry for dummies", except it is part of me, permanently.
I had it sewn under the skin of my left thigh.
...Really, I wouldn't care for a "Poetry for Dummies" book... Obviously the person(s) who wrote that are way to "artsy fartsy" for me. (or in other terms, "Ego-maniacs") ...I'd prefer to get better "naturally" and not out of a book.
...Hm... I'll see about it.
..I still don't understand how book can help you - as long as you know all (or most) of the ways to write the poetry? ..*looks up at his poetry* ah - I see... dang!
but I figure aslong as one keeps reading poetry
and writes consistently progress will follow
depending on the poet.. adapt or die?
I love that saying, maybe we should
sell flags with that motto right here
at the poemranker alms store.
but the voodoo rituals are a bit over the top
anything before that is upto a poets mental funpark grinder.
I prefer the airforce JUMBO wrench personally.
