I decided to try my hand at poetry. Geez oh man (points to whoever gets that literary reference). This isn't really formatting how I want it to, but I don't know how to change it. My apologies in advance.
Disclaimer: Today in my philosophy class I wrote this poem instead of listening to my teacher discuss the possible creation of three additional gender categories, and I still don't own the Ninja Turtles. MLIA.
G is for Gates:
Don't open the gates
Don't take me in
It's my turn
I'm not ready.
Don't open the gates
God please!
Don't take me in
It's my turn
I'm not ready.
Don't open the gates
How could this happen?
Don't take me in
God please!
It's my turn
I'm not ready.
Don't open the gates
I should go before you.
Don't take me in
How could this happen?
It's my turn
God please!
I'm not ready.
Don't open the gates
You can't you promised!
Don't take me in
I should go before you.
It's my turn
How could this happen?
I'm not ready.
God please!
Don't open the gates
Please you promised I should how could you go I before you God this can't happen.
I'm not ready.
In my head, Leo is the one that's not ready, Raph is "God please", Donnie is "How could this happen", Mikey is "You can't you promised", and Splinter is "I should go before you." This is kind of angsty, especially for me. It probably stems from how annoying philosophy was today.
I don't typically attempt poetry, so y'all's feedback and critiques would be very much appreciated! I wonder, do you see what I was trying to do?
