So @GraffitiDC is tomorrow and to be frank, I’d LOVE to see everyone who follows me in the DC Area there, not only to support, but to expose yourself to art in a way that you may not have been exposed to before. Also, bring your friends along with and expose them as well. What’s the worst that can happen? You find out you LOVE performance poetry and learn that you could not only...
Poetry
“Picking up the splintered shards of your heart and martyr shells of your past boyfriends have become my favorite past time / And that flag at half staff that you write your lyrics on makes me sleep easier/ Because there’s nothing as beautiful as waking up next to someone as horribly broken as you are” ~ Drew Law
Poem by a GDC Intern :)
Love don’t come in all sizes.
It don’t shrink in the wash.
It don’t fade and stretch over time
In that way like your favorite shirt,

Tried to stretch it and let it fit like you belong
In its delicate fabric.
When one love don’t work you try another love,
And even others’ love,
But everybody...

Metaphors
I’m a riddle in nine syllables, An elephant, a ponderous house, A melon strolling on two tendrils. O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers! This loaf’s big with its yeasty rising. Money’s new-minted in this fat purse. I’m a means, a stage, a cow in calf. I’ve eaten a bag of green apples, Boarded the train there’s no getting off.
