The dishwasher is loud
so someone turns up the volume
on the big-screen TV.
I feel more solid than usual.
I can feel the fat grow in rings
around my rippling middle,
and I think of all the money
draining from my bank account
and all the flights I'll never catch
and all the faces I'll never meet
and I get up off the couch
and stare out the sliding-glass door,
wringing my hands.

Uhh, poetry time?
Yep. It's a stupid name.
But my pal Sterling and I were sipping our quintessential coffee in a quaint cafe, and I could not think of a blog title, and then later I said, "it's poetry time!!!" whilst raising the arms in a triumphant pose (sans the mug of scalding coffee, ouch) and thus "It's Poetry Time!" was born. Lindsay Lohan, pre-downward-spiral, will be playing me in the movie.
That is probably not important. All you need to know is this is my poetry blog, I am Melanie, and would like to hear any constructive criticism you may have, and would like to read your stuff as well.
Also: all poems are copyright to myself (Melanie Richards). Internet thievery will be repaid with fists of fury. Or a nice and polite "cease and desist" email whilst I grind my teeth in silent frustration. But seriously, please don't do it.
