Been reading up on contemporary poetry. Here is my first stab at it. Near as I can tell, if it confuses and annoys the reader then it's contemporary poetry. Let me know what you think
************************************
The ripening is here
And where have I placed
My basket?
Marching burdened back
Upon the field
Gathering memories
Basket upon hip
Disjointed with load
Have I gathered enough?
Or will too much promise wither on the vine?

A girl.
I wear the scars, they don't wear me. I set the boundaries, choose what they'll be. I write my lines, they don't fall out. And if I speak, I may just shout. I wear the scars, they don't wear me.
Courage is what makes us. Courage is what divides us. Courage is what drives us. Courage is what stops us. Courage creates news. Courage demands more. Courage creates blame. Courage brings shame.
I wish wishes. Didn't exist. I wish the world. Was woven with bliss. I wish that life. Never took nasty twists. And that prayers. We're not needed. And that pain. Was a myth. I have a dream.
I come to you. To swim in your words. I come to you. Letting go of my world. I come to you. Sharing my thoughts. I come to you. To Listen to inspiring quotes. I come to you. With no hate.
A little help is all I give. No need to be so defensive. Politely say what you need to say. And I will gladly go away. A little chip, as we grow older. May be found upon our shoulder.
Ficticious fantasies fixated on folding my feelings. As anxiety, angst and attacks alleviate me at my angers anchorage. Debating doubtful dreams of delving into a deeper depression.
Is this fate, Or is this love. Is this real, Or a gift from above. Is this destiny, Or is this perfection. Is this true, Or just small affection. Is this life, Or is this your heart.
Remember those feelings the way the trees and the leaves sway graciously in the wind The way the leaves fall effervescently to the floor it does implore an essence to explore A deeper meaning So...
I ... So ... Angry! Your lack of rhyme and meter ... Fury building ... Too confused to focus ... Aaarrgh!!
At first I was confused. But being me I had to read it several times but then it kinda made sense. But more if that andover will get annoyed 👏👏👏👏
