Opposites DonÂt Attract
by Jeffrey ParrenTheir relationship developed from nothing.
The possibilities of fantastic failure
Were so prevalent that denying the fact
Would be like saying the grass
Wasnt really greener on the other side.
He cursed; he took shits.
Angel of his; she daintily pooped.
Putting them together was like
The formation of an oxymoron;
They lived alone together.
His energy for life was only limited
By his passion to be lazy, while she
Had all the drive necessary
For a football team; whereas,
The intelligence was severely lacking.
They both had one common bond;
Themselves. Or maybe each other.
Whichever. Dependency was futile
And emotional connection lacking,
Incomplete opposites held like magnets.

| Posted by Delilah Coyne on 04/09/05 at 03:29 AM I think this probably describes a lot of relationships. You did a good job of showing the differences between the two. I like how you said "They lived alone together." That's a great line. |

| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 04/25/05 at 05:23 AM Jeffrey, super interesting poem. It reminds me of couples who drift apart through the years and completly forget what fireworks and excitement brought them together in the first place. Sad. This poem simply astounds me coming from such a young man. Do not grow old too fast and remember ... size 6 in shoes! :) |

| Posted by Mae D Morey on 03/14/06 at 06:49 AM simply fantastic in the wording. Chalk another one up to loving that line of "they lived alone together" it highlights the nature of their relationship, perfectly. |
