| Post subject: | "Triplets" (Poem) |
this is the first poem I've written since sixth grade, when I wrote this mildly depressing masterpiece. our assignment was to imagine our family (immediate, extended, distant, or chosen) and imagine a family photo that doesn't exist but should, one that would tell a thousand truths about who the members of our family really are. further guidelines included to avoid cliché and end rhyme, to focus on the music of the poem and where each line starts and stops, and to use techniques such as assonance and consonance. (alliteration was also discussed heavily in class.) this poem is entirely based on true events. this conversation actually happened. we didn't actually naruto-run in the hotel (that happened just outside), but the alliteration makes it sound better so *(censored)* it. we did actually discuss our varying levels of gayness while walking down the hallway. without further ado, "Triplets" “Not twins. Triplets,” I repeat as we Naruto-run down the halls of the hotel where I am staying. “You are dating a boy.” I point to my friend Fynn, the boy with red-dyed hair and black spectacles. “And you want to date a boy,” Fynn replies. I grin and nod as my long, blonde hair flops on my forehead. “And I used to date a boy,” says a third friend, Oliver. The sight of his freckled face can sometimes make me cry. “I love you,” I remind them every night. A simple Snapchat streak, turned into the best of friends. |
