Beagle’s Bagel-house: A Place For Poetry and Other Things

Holy yapping sorry

I yap all the time, and what you said about writing poetry is valid. Take some of the poems I’ve posted here, especially “Fawn in Foster Home” and “Getaway”; The first one was inspired by the concept of lacking foundation, and was based on my best friend’s confession in first grade that she was a foster kid (still breaks my heart). The second one exhibits my resentment of American consumer culture and focusing on the frivolity of the things we do (“dig holes to china”, “apply sunscreen in the shade of umbrellas”, and “ catalog bathing suits / they’ll hardly use”)
I haven’t actually experienced any of these things firsthand. But, poetry isn’t always about experience, it’s about expression.

Holy, this place is full of yap frfr

Yeah, passionate people at work here

my left eye lies with my honesty

Scissors and excuses,
I’ve run with both.
They warned me of one,
And I ran on,

I run on.

I run

I don't get it but that sounds very artistic :0

Jk
Thanks for reading

Bop

here’s another <3

i always loved
playing the game sudoku
i used to use it to unwind.
but lately
the boards been feeling restless
one wrong step and i’m afraid
that seven might
eat mine

sudoku sudoku
the joke is on you
sudoku sudoku
how to cope through?
your numbers when placed
split my board right in two
there’s nothing i do
that’s not wrong while with you

we are a game
that is all!
so i pack it away.
the tiles, the numbers
i’ll save for a rainy day
and your logic
will scrub
the wet off my face

Wow. That last line kinda hit me hard. Is the poem about finding an escape from the uncertainty of reality in the solidity a d concrete-ness of sudoku? Cos that’s an awesome thought. Thanks for sharing :)

*Eas-y
I’m afraid your haiku is not haiku-ing

What? ok now I get it

#76
Do you have any poems you wanna share?

pretty much, i was hoping to show the positive side of the “cold and calculating” trope we see so often for people who use games like chess and sudoku as a salve and an escape for being in emotional states

Sometimes I donno what to do
