Question: My latest poem!!?
I just wrote it in response to the question "It's my birthday, write me a poem"

Its very early and not yet revised, do you think i should clean it up and remake/continue with it, or abandon it!?


~Happy Birthday~

I awaken to the sound of buzzing
my alarm screaming to wake up
it dies with a dull thud

I get up
eyes, bloodshot form the night before
burning with the fire of 30 candles

But wheres my cake

i called in sick today
as if they would even notice i was gone
i checked the mail
nothing but bills and hate mail

But wheres my cards

I go to open the fridge
And thats when i find my present
Its lying on the counter on the counter

Its stayed by me my whole life
my last remaining friend
I dig it in to find im bearly living, he always was a sharp one

The blood runs out like silk
flowing like rich icing
i follow it to the floor, the best present yet

There i lie, clutching at my one remaining friend
'Thankyou' i whisper softly

"happy birthday to me!.!.!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sorry it started out really good but the ending threw me and wasn't sure if you tried to do yourself in or your friend was lying on the floor, didn't quite get what was going on in your poem

Your writing was intriguing though, just got lost at the end could you explain a little more! I gave you a star because I do like the way you write, just need more!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You sure you want to title this "Happy Birthday"!?

I don't understand it!. It's really pessimistic and in general strange and unpleasant to read!.

If you want this to be titled in such a way, please make it happier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

uhh!. !. !.that doesnt sound like a very happy birthday!. !. !.=(Www@QuestionHome@Com
