A Heaping of Poetry

This is all rough draft stuff, but I'm kind of pleased with it. Cut for the heathens who aren't really into that sort of thing, or for those long-suffering folks who have seen all of this stuff already. :)

( Cranberry: A belated birthday poem for a very dear friend of mine, cleverly disguised as a meditation on one of my favorite fruits. )

( Why I Hate My Job: A cathartic exercise that unexpectedly turned into something else. )

( Sinister Love: A reaction to a Billy Collins poem about foolishness and beauty. The title is kind of layered, but it doesn't ring very well. )

( The Real Housewife of Beverly Hills: A bit more judgemental than I meant it to be. There's a lot I like here, but ultimately it comes off as way too catty. )

Jericho started as a guilty pleasure that I had to defend from a lot of people, but holy Jiminy Cricket did it get good. The entire second season was just a piping hot plate of fried gold, right up to the end. Brilliant set up for a season 3 we'll never see, which would have the former United States embroiled in all-out civil war. As toob said, why weren't they doing this kind of stuff in season 1??

Man, I'm really going to miss this show. When I wasn't looking it became a favorite of mine. :)
