Pretty like a girl? <br />Or pretty like a skyscraper before it scrapes your eyes <br />and tells you not to look? <br /> <br />Fountains are pretty <br />when they are flowing from a mountaintop. <br />When the gutter is full, it's kind of pretty <br />but usually it just means there's a broken sprinkler. <br /> <br />Broken sprinklers aren't pretty, <br />but they are good <br />for passerby's to complain about. <br /> <br />Everybody is different and we are all loved <br />by the same Creator. <br />My family and friends know I'm full of shit. <br />They don't know I say shit- <br />We say bull-honkey, or pudding. <br /> <br />I'm full of pudding, people. Laugh a little! <br />Just do it. I promise you won't regret it. <br />Be full of jello and wiggle those lungs. <br />Your abdominal wants to get up and dance. <br /> <br />Stop hanging out by the punch bowl. <br />Just close your eyes and take the hand <br />that reaches out for yours. <br /> <br />If it feels sticky, or misses your hand <br />and grabs something else, <br />just go back to the punch bowl <br />and try again.<br /><br />Jena Crowe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/does-poetry-have-to-be-pretty/
