What I by Myself Should and Did Lose
Moonie Kim


As I see myself— I know I should lose
One if not couple ten pounds.
No need nagging, I by myself should choose.

Sometimes I try to stand up and speak— but no use,
For I restrain myself no matter how good it sounds.
As I see myself— I know I should lose.

So senile am I, for forgetting fully that I look like a muddled moose,
Trying to look like nibbling new clothes, is this my heart that pounds?
I truly tarry to fit every cloth I by myself choose.

Though I manage yself to try times more— still no use,
For all I see is only the fickle face that again rounds.
As I see myself— I know I should lose.

Running rage ruptures, so does doubt; am I walking like a gobbling goose,
Trying to look lithe when whimful body again rounds?
When will I be blissful about who I by myself did not choose.

These pounds I should lose did make me lose,
Chasing me in everyday life like hunting hounds—
As I see myself— I know I should lose;
No need nagging, I by myself should choose.



Yes, this is a villanelle(wow, a lot of ls) I submitted to my English class.
The very common theme of a villanelle is loss and I twisted a little bit;
what I should lose(weight) and I did lose(lots of stuff, you know).
I kinda like this... at least, it's not bad- I think.

Playing with the poem
"This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

and I have eaten
the oranges and apples
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for lunch or dinner

Forgive me
they were delicious
and please
put that knife down

(green part is the part I added)

but I have not eaten
the pie it was on
that was in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for my birthday.

I just found out that the first guy I ever had a crush on
in my life was homosexual; though he is very sweet and I'll
be really happy just to be friends with him, a bit sad I am.

Okay, today was the day of dialogue.
I liked the assembly; forgot what the guest
speaker/performer's name was. I've gotta
find out; I mean, it was interesting.

And this play practice is kinda wearing me
out because I can't take naps like I used to
before; and I need to change the whole
motherboard for my lap top and since it
costs a lot I might just have to get a new
one and that sucks.

I forgot Mr.Snitz's today's joke. Darn, I'll
post it tomorrow.

3.
You see, admiting is one thing, and hearing
it from another person is another thing.
And even though you know that it is somewhat
true as right now; sometimes it hurts to hear it.
I just don't understand why someone would have
ill will against me when I don't care a shit about him.

I'm feeling a bit wierd recently. Not in a bad
way though. I'm rather excited; but also very
nervous and tense-

[Mr.Snitz Jokes]


1.

A: Oh, I hate geometric sequences.

B: Well, do you understand them?

A: No.

B: So you’re prejudiced. Why hate a thing you don’t understand?



2.

A: We have this one duck. Then we have another duck. What do we have?

B: Two ducks and a baby duck!

A: So you’re homophobic. Why do you assume they would have different gender?





This is what usually happens in my everyday math class.

My lap top's dead. Blah.

[Falala]

I wish you a merry snow day
I wish you a merry snow day
I wish you a merry snow day
and I hope we'll have one

We all know that it is coming
We all know that it is coming
We all know that it is coming
and I hope we'll have one

I do need a snow day; I do!



Don't wanna study for my chem test.
