Leibya's Spreading The Love
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
I'm a winner...again!
I won the Poetry vs Comedy show last night at Mo Pitkins!
It was an amazing all female show with some hilariously hot chicks and some poignantly hot poets as well.
I had planned to just read a poem I wrote about my first and last intimate experience with a man called "Waiting For Your Funeral" but before the show was starting my mind started dripping out this haiku that I wrote awhile back. As I furiously scribbled it onto my notepad another poem came out as well just as the lights were coming down.
My haiku and impromptu poem combo was a hit, so I thought I'd share the love with those of you who were not able to attend the show.
Genesis
It's all a facade.
Jesus, Buddha, Etc.
I am omni god.
Don't mean to laugh or be glib,
But the teachings are a fib.
How could someone strong like me
Come from some man's tiny rib?
My birth
Was from the earth.
I am strong
And purty
Because I am dirt--y.
Adam, you're not my mother
Or my brother.
No, you're just another
Creation
In this nation
Of symbols.
This nation of man-thimbles.
"I'll protect you sweet girl, you're weak and alone
you are fragile because you [ha!] came from man's bone."
So I'll read the good book
But my soul it won't smother
Nature
is
my
mother.
You're worthy of a melody,
~Leibya
