Literary Conforming
Debating whether it is necessary to conform to standard rules of literature.
What does it mean,
When your literature,
Doesn’t conform to standards?
Within every written work,
There are expectations,
On how it should be written.
Typically literature conforms,
Through specific line spacing,
Through organized word play,
Through standard font.
Rarely do you see,
Someone publishing a story,
While ignoring standards set in stone.
Is it called literature,
When you ramble aimlessly,
Hoping somehow the written work makes sense,
At the very end?
Or are these scribbles,
Random notes jotted on paper,
Only to be thrown away at the end?
In the end,
I am not sure,
If it’s necessary to conform,
To classic literary standards.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
