Description Daydreams and sunbeams,
Colorful sincerity,
Trade in for monotony,
Safe is the newest thing,
Safe answers,
Safe crime,
Safe questions,
Safety lies,
And lies, and lies.

Heartfelt prosperity,
Prospering extremities,
Exchange for "maturity",
Fleeing from ignominy,
Ignorance was such bliss,
Ignorant love,
Ignorant hope,
Ignorant faith,
Ignorance smiles,
And smiles, and smiles.

Oh, sweet catcher in the rye,
Will you catch me when I fly,
Heed to my every cry,
Will you stand before the edge,
If childhood I thee pledge,
Oh, sweet catcher in the rye.

I love the way this... flows, I guess. I can almost hear it being sung in my head, because the rhythm is so perfect, especially at the end. God, I wish I could write like that!

No, but I want to! I've read some of J.D. Salinger's short stories, and he seems like an interesting writer. Hopefully I'll read the book soon.

Interesting is probably the best way to describe him. The book is pretty sad and pessimistic, but the underlying message is just like...whoa.

Eh, maybe, someday, when pigs learn to fly
and my brother isn't so annoying...

How ironic... I just finished reading the book...

I think your poetry is rather good myself, and I enjoy the many bases of styles that you have built great poems on.

Keep it up...

Aw thanks. I had been told by one that my writings are redundant and they all are the same. I never knew if it was just a cruel bit of angry retaliation, because I had told the same to her...or if she was actually being earnest.

Your comment makes me believe in the first.

Thanks. I almost cut out the top just cause I was so in love with how I ended it...but I didn't want all that work to go to waste, and the ending is really needed to understand the top.
