Frankenstein

I created you
haphazardly,
out of spare parts
wandering in my mind.
An alliterative phrase her
a pun there.

You grew.
Beguiling as a criminal
Scaring others
lurking their outskirts.

You think that you are stronger
than me.
You think that you have more influence
than me.
You think that you are smarter
than me.
I think that you may
be right.

So I have been totally neglecting commenting on this blog and I am ashamed of myself for it. I'm going to try and comment on more stuff starting with this one.

You definitely have created a monster with this blog. I like the how you use Frankenstein in that he's probably the most intelligent of all the traditional literary monsters. I like the second and third stanza in that this blog can be intimidating at times. I hate the days where I'm tired and have no creative juices flowing but still force myself to bang a poem out. It's not easy, but writer's write and I wasn't doing that too much before this blog.

In other words, there is love in my hatred for this blog and that makes me smile.
