POEM STARTER
Submitted by em_andherbooks
Write a poem that describes the longing of a reader who falls hopelessly in love with a fictional character.
Roommates
I sit in an empty apartment.
I dream of you.
What you are, I can only see
painted on my computer.
A wonderful man
with black hair,
a turquoise sweater,
and a savvy gaze.
In my empty apartment,
with my broken lightbulb,
I don't see much light
or another friend.
But when I see him,
I feel less alone.
He makes my heart flutter,
but I can only feel his love
when my sweaty body shudders
and I imagine him touching me
with my tissues the color of a dove.
I printed a picture
and hung it on my wall,
so I can put him on my pillow
and smooch him silly.
Yeah...
(this is the best story ever written in the history of the universe)
