Jade Stoner

I tried to draw you

All I got

Were violet eyes

The rest was noise

And hieroglyphs

(Something

Napoleon Dynamite

Would throw away.)

Jade Stoner

I tried

But I can't get

Your bottom lip to

Misbehave

The way it seem to do

In real life

Can't get some stick finger

To puncture it

The way it do

In real life

Can't get your face

To effervescence

In the rain of my

Ego and ineptitude

So, here's a poem

Probably not better

To say

Your loveliness

Makes me

Trash a lot of

Typing paper

And still

I keep trying to say

How lovely

You really are...
