Stoned, Eating a Mango by ~totouch-theearth:icontotouch-theearth:



I'm stoned, eating a mango.
The fibrous material in the flesh
Squirms between my teeth like worms
in the earth.

I could've written a charming 'piece'
Involving these words,
Along with nostalgic descriptions of a youth gone by...
"Warm summer, fireflies at night,
Bright blue- and white-
Marbled skies
And grass so thick and fragrant."
To touch the heart.

But no! I'll state explicitly that these words came to me because I was stoned
eating that mango.
I'm stoned eating a mango!

Yeah, stoned.
That's how I wrote the poem.

(Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!)

Smokin' the mango.
The metaphorical mango, that is.

I like the defiance!
"I could try and fit in, write the kind of piece people would expect, but I'm not going to. I'm stoned, eating a mango."

The whole piece made me laugh.

~Adreanna; now in the extra-spicy brand of crazy, for a change.
:icontotouch-theearth:
Hahaha, I'm glad, that was the desired effect.
:iconadreanna:
Well it worked.
Go you! Don't give in to conformist poetry!

Haha, yes.
The defiance definitely is the highlight of this, though.
If you were sorrowfully eating a mango, instead of rebelliously, it wouldn't be awesome anymore.
SO GO MANGO REBELZZZZZZ4LYF3!

Thanks for the fav.

I think the message of this is:
"Eat mango, motherfuckers!"
