Viver Coisas Noivas (Living New Things)


See the men and women-
I'm living new things.
Here they work through and run
I'm living new things.
Don't worry with tomorrow,
I'm living new things.

They are hurting-try to fix-pray to help
I'm living new things.
Wanna go home
I'm living new things.
Went for it!
I'm living new things.

See the house
I'm living new things.
Receive some new things
I'm living new things.
Work outside
I'm living my new things.

I wrote this as a poem to think about specific things that happened the 2 months in Brazil. A vague line to you represented and symbolized something specifically in my minds-eye... After writing the poem, I read it again and let my mind imagine Argentina, and the poem worked perfectly to describe my feelings and what I've seen here as well. If you're into poetry, try reading it through your own eyes and context currently or from your memory. Read it through someone else's eyes too... What do you think?

  1. I feel as though you have recorded your thoughts exactly as they occurred to you, which gives your poem a certain rawness of energy and emotion that I like. The reader can definitely follow the development of your point of view from the beginning to the end. Keep writing and sharing!
