Found

Spotted
Among the bushes,
by a familiar face.

Noticed
So we hide in shame,
to not attract a crowd.

Found
And confronted,
Then boldly enough,
We empty our hearts.

Okay.... were there people making out behind some shrubbery?

"to not attract a crowd." "so as not to attract a crowd" would flow so much better. (No offense...)

I like how the first line of every stanza is one word, and how all the subsequent lines are no more than five short words long.

Gina said...

My first reaction was not Maria's, but now it makes more sense to me... I was thinking that you were hiding from someone who found you and hid too, in order to not gather attention, and then you talked to this person? Yeah, Maria's answer would explain your hestitance to elaborate...

Gina said...

OH! OH! I get it, you were talking to/making out with/? the person from the last poem!!!!




Right?



Maybe?

Maddie said...

heyyyyyy gina, heyyyyyy maria.

as our lovely bela said, she does not want to elaborate. but i'd be perfectly happy to.

maria, you are exactly right. a worker at a country club caught two people...............

and gina.... it was definately NOT the jerk from the poems before. if you have any more questions, please email me.

I haven't writen any poems or anything yet. but i plan to. jsut check it out though.

Bela said...

Wow, Maria. Nice job! You've figured it out...
I love that line change! But as you pointed out, I am trying to use less than 5 words per line. Can I use it some other time, though? Seriously, it's really good!

Wow to Gina! This is a really interesting point of view! I never would have thought of that...
I'm still not elaborating.

MADDIE!!!!!!!!!!! I'm beginning to dislike you...STOP SPEAKING/TYPING WORDS!!!

Bela said...

And nice job with your advertising, Maddie.
But I still dislike you, as of right now.

Maddie said...

okay..............dont be too thrilled yet. it wasnt bela, just one of her friends.

Gina said...

ooooOOOOOOoooooh....



Country club?? Oh yeah, that's right, you live in Weston... not going to say anything else! Seriously!

Maddie said...

i know, i'm like you little_____!! those dang westin kids.

no offense

Bela said...

Very nice, Maddie. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Maddie said...

Oh no problem. I am just joking. But as you know, there is always a little truth behind a joke.
:p

Bela said...

Don't make me email you again...
Soo...anybody have a new subject?

Kidding. But Maria and Gina? I'll tell you all about it at CWP on Monday!

Maddie said...

I WARN YOU, I'M TOTALLY KIDDING
I JUST WANT TO GIVE BELA A HARD TIME. NOTHING HAPPENED WITH HER!

bela, if nothing happened, then why won't you just come out and say it on this. It's not like anyone else reads this.

Andrew said...

Haha, I get it. I know who it's about...
;-)

It's a really nice poem though.

P.P.S~ If you know who this is, then where does it say something about John, The Tennis Pro. Just Kidding.

Bela said...

Thanks for making it better, Maddie!


Hey Andrew! I think I might be giving away a bit too much there...but it would be true! Then again...who doesn't love having their imagination put an interesting self inflicted twist on writing?

Gina said...

Hm... this has turned out to be your most controversial poem yet! Still don't get why "we hide in shame", but whatever...

However much anyone tries to deny it, everyone loves gossip. Have you ever noticed that?

And Maddie, I do agree that there is always some truth behind a joke- or rather, behind a GOOD joke. The other ones are just stupid. The funniest ones are true. That's why there is so much political humor, I suppose...

I expect full detail on Monday, Bela, and I will hold you to it! And you're wondering who the "newbies" are?? That's a little high-minded for someone who was a "newbie" herself not so long ago... but I know one girl is coming who I used to sort of be friends with, I haven't seen her in YEARS.

Wow, long comment... see you later then...

Andrew said...

Haha, most controversial? Quite. Yes, it is very apparent that this a simile to real life (no duh!), but maybe Bella (and I) shouldn't really elaborate on this one. "Hide in shame"? I wouldn't have necessarily called it shame, more or less, hidden from fear of an awkward tennis lesson... Hey George! What a convenient memory lapse!

Maddie said...

OKAY Andrew, I think you have officially made my day.

Gina, Maria, are you smart enough to understand now?

Andrew said...

Haha, more like smart enough to check the website again. Yeah I guess that's pretty much it. I doubt bela actually reads the comments but if you didn't get my email sorry about what happened this afternoon, I didn't know she would freak like that.

Bela said...

I resent that, Andrew.
If you're at the club tomorrow, you and I are going to have some words.

(Hush, Maddie!)

And I will tell you, Maria...if you don't get it already!

Bela said...

And Andrew, I definitely didn't freak out on her! And we WILL have some words.

Maddie said...

Andrew, she basically tried to keep everything quiet, but you came on and.............
lol.

ahe checks her comments frequently so be warned.

Bela said...

Yes, be warned.

Maddie said...

but do it funny, cause she was going to tell them in person tommorrow. so it's okay. you add something new and interesting.

Andrew said...

Sorry guys, I don't think we are going to the club.
Not after the "Barrier Incident." I think that gives a lot away about who I am... but what ever..
Check out my blog..

^(NOT BLOGGER :P)

Bela said...

Again, nice advertising everyone!
(heart on paper)


No! Okay, well, I'll see you soon then, right?

Maddie said...

def!

Bela said...

Nice! Sounds good!

Maddie said...

noodle says hi!

Bela said...

Hi Noodle.

Gina said...

Bela, your boyfriend has a great sense of humor... I love that you're meeting him "at the club"...lol. (No, I'm not making fun of country clubs again, I'll explain later.)

Andrew, "fear of an awkward tennis lesson" sounds like the definition of a great new phobia. Send it to Merriam Webster.

Gina said...

"The Barrier Incident" sounds like the name of either an action movie off the coast of Austrailia or a horrible accident in a construction zone...

Maddie said...

i totally agree with gina's last two comments.

Bela said...

Yeah, he does! It's one of the many thing I love about him...
Hmm...explain that later.
Wow, she's right. Send that one in, and it just might get published!
Why did "the Barrier Incident" just come up? Remind me again, please?

Bela said...

Oh wait...I just read the comments. I get what "the Barrier Incident" is. Please forgive my ability to process things quickly in my brain.
