Exams coming

Pressure’s mounting

No time for studying

Test’s in an hour

Down some coffee

Get out of bed

Drag yourself to class

Stumble through your instructions

Why doesn’t any of this make sense???

Its like reading another language

This isn’t fair,

It’s the Michigan difference

I would venture to say the entire idea

of a sonnet is a rather ridiculous thing.

The very thought of being boxed in a genre

is enough to make any creative man scream.

So try as one may to confine what they’re feeling

to the shackles of inhibiting rhythms and rhymes,

most will find themselves frantically fleeing

from the boundaries of these stifling 14 lines.

To the poetry instructors from every nation:

please attempt to grasp this. I’m trying so hard

to convey this emotion in strict rhythmic formation.

Can’t you see that these rules may as well just be bars!

And the truly ridiculous thing I must add;

Is that my sonnet is actually not half bad.

Sometimes people cannot control

Things that they are feeling. But if

They continue to fight against

The things that they are fearing;

Perhaps then they may conquer yet

That pain which is so searing

The Loudest Silence in Michigan

The loudest silence in Michigan

Throngs of people screaming with all their might

I can't be noticed by hearing or sight

This is the loudest silence in Michigan.

Yelling and taunting

Arrogant maize flaunting

This is the loudest silence in Michigan.

I am seen by millions throughout the nation

But I remain an invisible part of this invasion

This is the loudest silence in Michigan.

Where a hundred thousand become none

For a few hours a week, then we are done

This is the loudest silence in Michigan.

Simply an unbearable din

Bonded together by its desire to win

This is the loudest silence in Michigan.

It descends upon the enemy

Inundating them with hostility.

The loudest silence in Michigan.

But no matter what's done

The hundred thousand are none

And it's simply

The loudest silence in Michigan.
