Simple Glossy Pages

[Absinthe]

*a poem written at the end of this past school year that I just found in my chem notebook.



You hand me that book
hardcover binding,
all glossy pages
filled with pictures
and memories

You tell me to sign,
but I don't know how.
Do I put the customary
insincere wishes for
a "good summer"?

Or do I go deeper?
Do I write of all
the memories,
the friendship that
we've forged?

But there isn't
space enough for that.
Do I write something
funny instead?
Or return to insincerity?

Do I write of how
I'll remember you always?
But how can I
express that on these
simple glossy pages?

hmmm....I decided that I don't like this piece. It seems.....unfinished? Any suggestions?

[Laura]

It does seem unfinished to me. Suggestions though I'm out of. I liked the idea about the insincerity though; I know how you feel. This is just me but I don't really like the "something funny instead", I think you could replace this with something more poem-esque but keep the same meaning. I don't know, I'm out of my mind.

i think it needs more to the story, maybe a little more explaining of the actual sit. but it was good all the same

[Only Me]

I think it does need a bit more... I am confused now... I think a lot of my posts got erased or something cause I could swear I responded to this and I generally do not put a piece in the index unless I have responded to it... hmmm?
