I am a fan of the writings of Jonas Gagnon. Admittedly, the fact that he is my cousin and a good friend of mine biases me. Nonetheless, his writings are often insightful, thoughtful, and real. I was reading his blog the other day (http://fact-fiction.tumblr.com/) and, inspired, I emailed him and challenged him to a Poetry-Slam-Off! As I see it, the rules are simple - everytime he posts a poem on his blog, I will respond with one of my own.
Unfortunately, this is MUCH easier said than done.
But a challenge is a challenge. Here's a couple verses of a poem I am writing about the many lives of cats. It's still very much a work in progress, but I hope you are amused, regardless.
He hunts for mice along the lake
Their furry little souls to take
Grey angel of death in the grass
They tremble as they hear him pass.
Green eyes peer from under the bed
Sinister plots reel through his head
A tail that slowly thrashes and twitches
Enemy mine, familiar of witches.
Back to you, Jonas!
Cheers,
Trent.
