Hiya, here is a poem (well it's actually a Death Cab for Cutie song but song's are poems, well at least to me).

So yeah I didn't write it, Ben Gibbard did!

20th Century Towers:

we'll correct collegiate mistakes.  
a shower of formal ideals.  
completely soused.  
the hearts on our sleeves,  
as they drowned we could hear them screaming,  
"oh, what a tragic way to see our final days."   
  
I attempt to talk up the town:  
"the answers are in the arches of the 20th century towers  
and in comfortable cars in motion."  
and yet it still remains, this incessent refrain:  
"you're just like the rest. your restlessness makes you lazy."   
  
keeping busy is just wasting time  
and i've wasted what little he gave me.  
(all around) i know the conscious choice was crystal clear,  
to clean the slate of former years:  
when i sang softly in your ear and tied these arms around you.
