  3. You definitely should write as much as poetry as you can possibly stand, Miss Cooper. You’ll be doing all of us in the rest of the world a great favor by doing so.

  4. It sounds sad, I walk away feeling personally responsible for disappointing and draining you with my stories and situations. God the guilt I must carry. I’ll have to post something upbeat this week.

  6. There goes my last shred of worry that grad school, D.C., and working in more or less a think tank, would suck the last bit of creativity out of you.

    It kind of funny because my last post was indirectly about Argentina… now I know why you choose it….;)

    • Seriously Ben, who in their right mind would chose D.C. over Buenos Aires?

      • Yea, Ben what were you thinking.

        How disappointed will we be when you marry in D.C., now that you’ve placed such a teaser.

        Like the poetics coop.

  8. can I come?

    Unique is so rare

  9. I read it several times and loved it but can’t think of anything to say that you didn’t think out loud. I proudly write bad poetry. You write insightful poems

    • I proudly write bad poetry as well, my “about” page has always said so. “Bad poet” just sounds so …..good.

  10. a girl
    stirred by stories
    appalled by situations

    I liked that part the best.

    When we went to the Spanish convention in high school, I was on quiz bowl team and each of us had to specialize in the knowledge of one South American country. Guess what mine was. So I used to know a lot of Argentinean stuff.

    I wouldst hope I never drain you. Disappoint, I can handle. That, I am used to. Delight, I won’t even hope for.

  11. I hope you’re talking to a boyfriend or a lover, or something, because I know I am the light of your blogging readers, and you hold your breath until I read your blog, so I know you can’t blame me for draining you..oh you mean the blogging drains you or….
    is it that vampire love you have..heh

    I’ve never been good at poetry. I’m a failure at it, reading or writing it, makes me tear my hair out.

    I loved it.

  12. Let’s see..

    Yes, see
    yes,
    YES
    Yes, yes, if you say so
    Yes, me too but not entirely
    by me? I don’t know

    Opinions, self perception gathered by others take what you want although negativity has a way of being the unanswered equation.
    When I know what I want, I don’t want it anymore.
    Stay light, fuzzy, and blissfully amused. I don’t know.
