I Gave You Life
You glare at me foundationally,
Decrying my inconsistency, my wasted effort.
Immovable, you follow me everywhere,
Out of sight, not out of mind.
You twist my meanings,
Eliminate all my intentions,
Prevent my perfection,
Steal my dreams and intelligence.
I wish you were never born,
Fuckin' typo.

Hi J,
Typos really are inconvenient at times...At first I thought you were writing about a difficult teen - LOL!

| Mandy (forgive me for taking liberty with first names, but I feel we are already friends), I would love to read that article. This poem was actually about an email I wrote to someone (taking extreme pride in my email-writing ability), and after I sent it, I re-read it I found a typo that just screwed up all the poignancy I tried to capture. As you have found from much of the work that I post, I am sloopy profreader. |

I'm serously beginig to love your work ;) <--- I know this isn't constructive criticism at all, but how can one critique that which is absolutely brilliant?
This actually reminded me of an article I read -- having nothing to do with typos, of course, but more with linguistics and mental perception -- but I can't think of the title or author at the moment. It was in a widely read newspaper, however. When I think of it, I'll get back to you. It was just a fun, enticing read -- much in the same vein as yours.
At least, like Jesica, I only think that this was your intention (intention? Since when do I use intention as a poetic analysis term? Oh, no...) I'll get back to you with that article, if you would like. |

| To tell you the truth (or at least mine), the only time writing annoys me is when I'm not doing it. |
