Forced (In)>spiration

A friend of mine found out I wrote the other day so she demanded a poem of me....I hemmed for a second and then dashed out an eleven line collection of tripe for her. She acted like it was amazing and then proceeded to force me to write three more. I'm slightly more proud of the latter three than of the first one but I'll only be sharing a couple of them. So, this is what happens when a writer is out on the spot over text message and given less than five minutes to conjugate something less than brilliant.

There's a spot up on my wall
I'm not sure how it got there
Was it from when I threw my food
Among those years when none did care
Or maybe it wasn't that
Maybe it was a toy
Chucked in a fit of happiness
Among those times of loving joy
I'm not sure how it got there
But I guess that really is good
This way I can choose the memory
Wether it be happy like a child or darker than my old hood

Hoped you enjoyed it! If you want a poem written on a specific subject just let me know and I'll see what this lyrical artisan can come up with :)
Until next time, adios and c'est la guerre :)

Just A Note To Say "Gracias....."

     I'm pretty sure I'm officially a failure as a blogger. It's been over a month since I last posted. However, now that summer is here I hope to be more active in my writings and I will be sharing some of them on here as I deem them fit for public consumption :P I noticed that since my last post I'm almost up to 800 views!!! Thank you everyone for participating in what began as a simple project to see if anyone would pay attention to my attempts at literary creativity :) I wrote several different pieces today but there is one I would especially like to share. This was inspired by one of my friends who is also an addict of the verbal variety. She is also an admirable woman of God and, through this following of the only worthy pursuit, has helped keep me focused on using my talents for the glory of God.
     And without any further stalling, I present my piece:

Gracias por su dedicacion

I've been following all your works

And they've been putting I to shame

I realize in my lack of progress

I've only I to blame

Continually wishing all these talents

Would bring I gold and fame

But even through I's feats

The results all seemed the same

Instead of bolstering I's success

It seems I's fortune it did wane

I think you've helped I see the problem

Through your talents I'm more sane

I see now what I've done

By complaining of the rain

I've dethroned the Only One

Who o'er my talents should have reign

He is the Only One

Who my works now should proclaim

I don't even know how they're really mine

When the ability's signed His name

This sense of wonder at my estate

My utter gall to try reclaim

The reins held with hands of might

So powerful, unable to strain

I could go on forever

About His blessings I enslave

But the purpose of this rant 

Is my humility to reclaim

By beseeching you continue 

To inspire me with the grain

The one He gave to you

To bring honor to His stain
