DON'T MIND ME

Don’t mind me.

I don’t really live here

but I love when glitter falls

from the clouds.

 

Don’t mind me.

I don’t live here.

I am just some crazy-eyed force of nature

with a story to tell

or a friend to save

- or something.

I’ll be gone as quick as I came.

 

I say,

“Don’t mind me.”

But you know

that I can change the whole landscape

with

one

quick

shake.

    Awesome poem! I love how at the end it says "don't mind me" but you can change the whole landscape with a shake. Keep it up!

    Jessica, great work. I love the feistiness of this poem. The possibilities for interpretation are too numerous to count. I love that it can mean one thing for me and something entirely different for the next reader. Thank you for sharing.

    I like what Mary Jaimes-Serrano said here. It is so open to interpretation each person can read it in a different way.It's kind of like a poetic rorschach.

    I love the imagery in this. I feel that this is someone dancing and shaking glitter from their hair. She's passing through and doesn't care about leaving her mark. Existing is enough for her. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I feel like these lines encompass the emotion behind the poem. It makes me think of someone who does what she likes and protects those she loves, regardless of the costs. What a strong image, thanks for sharing!

      I definitely love the way everyone sees this their own way but everyone has a distinct image Thanks!!!
