Hi!!! I'm an english/french major, and I have a hand in most of the wordy projects on campus, which means my brain in something like 75% alphabet soup. The other 25% of my energy is generally devoted to sitting quietly and doing old lady activites.

Shitty Sound Poem

How do I write a poem using sound when what I crave most is silence? How am I supposed to paint the page when all the stress in my arms is only relieved when I wrap them around myself, creating a cage? A cage where sound is dead. A cage that rattles and shakes and squeezes tight until I hear my lungs gasp and my grip releases, but it never relaxes.

How do I utilize literary devices like rhyme when swords are stabbing my head? My head is bleeding yet assonance is on my mind. Writing poems takes so much time and sometimes I get stuck. Sometimes I'm the one stabbing my head. Sometimes I wrap my arms too tightly because I'm too scared to look at my wrists. Most of the time I use poetry to escape because my life is too fast and poetry makes me stop. All of the time writing poetry using sound is hard but I would rather be around to write shitty sound poetry than to not write any at all.

Arden Miller Class of 2023

Venus

The subjects of seraphim's passions Suffer in flames–Recipients of love from hell up above While fine, tear soaked lashes are frozen to stone And the fossils of us crack under the weight of heaven

Benevolence flows from small fingertips

Hesitance is shown in celebratory movements slow Leaves and buds grow with mind their own And burgundy wine stains gleaming teeth and linen sheets; Treacherous evidence hates the crime of reformation

Invasion

Fine lines and breaking hearts, Who knew innocence could be a work of art

Ignorance and fashion Or litany and passion

Assail my frozen heart in the midst of the strange

And unbroken–

Take no prisoners, take no sides, Have no loyalty, have no pride, A self-confessed convict of lies

I live as the self-righteous martyr, The lamb to the slaughter, The woman for the people, The sun’s only daughter

But I’ll walk through the rain, And wake in the storm, To try and keep your burning heart warm
