Even though its not April yet, the count down starts I will be sharing some poems I wrote for my creative writing class. I never thought of myself as a poet, in fact the idea of writing poetry always kind of scared me but I have found after writing a few poems in a class assignment that I really like it and people seem to like my poems as well! My fiction writing, not so much... here goes:

Life is like a box of chocolates

Life is like a box of chocolates

The icky ones filled with orange cream

Or raspberry that I spit out

Rich dark chocolate I crave

White chocolate that haunts my dreams

Life is like a box of chocolates

Almond filled crunchy chocolates

Carmel filled truffles to fight over

Life is like a box of chocolates

Littered empty boxes on Valentine ’s Day

That were suppose to fill your heart

But instead just filled your stomach

Life is like a box of chocolates

A big box, a small box

A sign of affection

A sign of hunger

Life is like a box of chocolates

They come in all shapes

Squares

Triangles

Hearts (for the super cheesy)

Life is like a box of chocolates

Full of worn out analogies

So cliche

A poet’s worst nightmare
