The Word Crafter: I. Hate. Gimp.

Who Am I?

I am merely a teenage girl, trying to find her way in life. But if you look closer, you will see my fingers are stained with ink from the aimless doodles that cover every blank page and margin, and from the furious scribbling that fill the pages of my numerous notebooks. You will notice that I burst out singing at random times, am extremely absent-minded, and laugh way too easily. I read avidly, write fiercely, love passionately, and hate bitterly. The Bible is the source of my peace--and I am a sinner saved by the mercy of God's grace. I feel naked without my camera, and everywhere I look, I see possible snapshots that could have been taken. My pen is my weapon, my camera is my companion--and beauty is my inspiration. I am, as L. M. Montgomery put it, "an eternal slave to beauty". I spend most of my time gazing at the curtain that separates the natural from the supernatural—but at times, at times, the curtain is lifted. These moments I live for.

I. Hate. Gimp.

Yes, the dreaded moment has arrived - I show you some of my poetry that I wrote a while ago. Note: poetry does not come naturally to me. At times, I have moments where I just know I can write poetry - and then it completely flops. I know I'm terrible, but I wrote it while I was waiting for Gimp to load - I had to vent somehow, right? ;)

i hate gimp, so crude and bad
it aborts my work, makes me sad
it drives me crazy, so i must
grit my teeth and try not to bust

i wish that i could delete it from
my 'puter but the will wont come
i want to scream, i want to cry
oh how i want gimp to die

i want to stab its evil heart
i want to tear it all apart
i have no money to buy better
so i must use gimp, a curséd fetter
bekah grace, march 2010

Yeah, don't think so bad of me...as I said before, poetry is not my strong point. (and I can only stand poetry that rhymes, haha)

I'm just reading it over again and laughing so hard because of how bad it is. "I want to stab its evil heart, I want to tear it all apart." Jeepers. Didn't know Gimp had a heart.

awesome poetry, it's hilarious...
poetry doesn't have to be so wonderfully well written to make it big, and I think this is one of those times... XD; April 23, 2010 at 6:41 AM
