Please, join me around my little fire here, try not to burn your fingers, the marshmallows come with sticks for a reason.

That was random, I’m sorry. I get easily distracted, and I just really want a marshmallow right now, guys.

So, I was wondering, does anyone here consider themself as a poet?
Are you a beginner, or do you consider yourself “professional” (yes, I’m laughing at you, I’m sorry,). Share your poems! I’d love to see how low I am on the food chain

So, shameless self promotion (who am I kidding- my poetry isn’t going anywhere anyway), here’s a bit of my crap poetry:

“who needs [feminism] anyway”

not quite wingless, but who can fly
with paper wings that drip with
ink stains and red lipstick. heels make a
better impression on men
because [women] find it more
difficult to step out of the box with them on.
a dollar to shorten my skirt, but who will
request the collar when I haven’t got breasts
[are you sure you arent] a man, shh.
let’s see which cookie cutter you fit through,
whoops, you’re the wrong shape.

I hope my lack of capital letters doesn’t offend you, I like it better that way. Critique if you like, simply ignore and share your own, or hate. Anything at all, appreciated thank you.
