I Hate Poetry

by Jade Boquer-Velasco

 

Poetry is

like a hoop ripping out

of your ear

during a cat fight

 

Poetry is

like a murder on a

spooky night

 

Poetry is

a world without

musubi

 

Poetry is

like the grim reeper

taking your soul out of your

body

 

Poetry is

a world without your

best friend,

your smartphone

 

Poetry is

like your nightmares

coming to life

 

Poetry is

like a zombie apocalypse

 

Poetry is

a world without

rice

 

Poetry is

a feeling of being

rejected

 

Poetry is

like blood oozing

from your mirror

 

Poetry is

like having your own auntie

die from cancer

 

Poetry is

fifteen minutes of

Justin Bieber
