Stumble

My friend showed me the coolest thing, and now I'm hooked. It's bad.  It's called Stumble. It's a toolbar you can add to your browser and when you click it, it takes you to random websites based on your interests. There are so many cool things you find when you hit the Stumble button.
So the other day (yesterday) I stumbled (no pun intended) upon this website called oneword.com and there's a word of the day, and you are given 60 seconds to write something based on that word. the word was Sorry, and I came up with:

I'm sorry you went away
I missed you the second you left
I'm sorry
but You're already gone
you left before the o followed the s
I was hanging on the r's and you were
already gone
But I was still sliding from that Y

The idea is to just write, it doesn't matter if it makes sense or not, you just write. Anyway, I really liked it, so I bookmarked the website, and then I continued what I had started to write, and I came up with this:


S-O-R-R-Y
I'm sorry you went away.
I'm sorry,
but you're already
gone

you left before the O followed the S
I was hanging on the R's and you
were already gone.

But I was still sliding from that Y
as you were twisting through that
G. One

just one word drove you away and
I watched from that loop in the
L

as you ran laps around the O,
afraid of what our solitary letters
would unravel.

We sat at each point
of the V
avoiding each other’s I’s.

I was selfish, and you
knew, that.
Because there is no I in
"together forever"

And as I was waiting for you
At the top of the E
You were headed towards
the words that never stop after
a period.

I’m Sorry.




So, yeah, just something I came up with. You should really check out stumble, it's pretty sweet :)
