A poem

In my creative writing class the other day, we were told to go out and write GR. This meaning, go wander the streets of GR and write down things you see and write something creative using those things. My writing/editing partner and friend Stacey was not there, so I really didn't feel like walking around downtown by myself. I decided to go across campus to the library and write what I saw there. So I sat in the lobby area and made a list of the things that I observed. This is a poem that I came up with (so far it's untitled, I never can think of titles):

They come in laughing at nothing
Talking on a cell phone
And sit down across from me
Pull out a fashion magazine
Gossiping about their friends
Who's dating who...who's single
A man walks by says:
"That's an awesome smile"
"Thank you" and laughs
To her friend "that's so wierd"
Goes back to careless gossip
Back to their stuck up world

There you go. I don't usually share my writing with people because I'm too self-conscious about it, but a few people told me they liked this one, so I figured I'd step out of my comfort zone :)

Also, I think I have overcome my writer's block I mentioned the other day. I talked with Stacey, my professor, and some other friends and I think I know where my story is headed!
