Unexpectations

Honey, you're not the first person
to go through this kind of thing.
Listen, honey, I think that
maybe you need some help.
Honey, you're not handling it.
We both know what's going on here.

It's been months
You can't keep waiting for him.

I'm not waiting for anything.
I don't expect anything.
I'm not waiting for anything I don't expect.

It's been months.
Can't keep waiting for him.

“Honey, you're not the first.
Listen, honey,
you need some help.
Honey, you're not it.”


Poet's note: Yes, I am a Twihard and proud of it too! This found poem was created from Chapter 4 ("Waking Up") of New Moon, the second book in the Twilight Saga series.

Tell me all your thoughts on God

It was like meeting Jesus
(meeting George Lucas.
I made myself look a complete arse)
All I could say was
Thank you on behalf of my generation.
I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing
(we were supporting
Dido)
If it wasn't for you.
I based my entire life
(I said, 'I've always tried to let my life
be guided by the Force,')
on using the Force.
(and he said - 'That's nice'

in the most blank way imaginable.)

Poet's note: This found poem/cento was created from the following two sources:

Dumped

It was as if I had been poisoned.
Every nerve and muscle in my body
curled up in the fetal position,
howled with agony.

Poet's note: This found poem was created from a chapter titled "Lost Years" in the amazing book "Clapton: The Autobiography". The poem was created from Eric Clapton's description of his attempt to quit heroin cold turkey.
