Blog: A Free-verse Poem by Mark Chipman

The name itself is disgusting. B-L-O-H-G
                       Words, episodes, emotions. Blogs.
 Discussion, online repetition, immediate-gratification. Blogs.
               Arguments, opinions, false accreditations. Blogs.
Time-wasting, mundane typing. Blogs.
      lol, rofl, brb, l8r. Blogs.

Belligerent and
Loosely held
Opinions
Gratified by an audience.      Blogs

Imagine a room. A square white room, empty of everything. In the middle of the room a brown armchair that is ugly. Blog.

Imagine a car, pulling into a nearly empty parking lot, all but one space where your car is parked. Car pulls up and parks next to your car. Blog.

Imagine a school bus, but instead of a cheery yellow a disgusting lime green. Blog.

Imagine a busy room that you know nobody in. Blog.

Imagine a person you dislike. Blog.

Imagine nothing. Blog.
