Throwing out Vermont

Submitted by baskerville on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 4:25pm

why do we have to move! I love Vermont, my parents know that! I mean why
did they just tell
me all this now?
Now I'm looking through all my stuff and deciding what the heck to do
with it all. I cant
throw out that! Not my
preschool finger paint picture. Anyway,why Minnesota. Why are we
even going there! It's
all flat with no
mountains! Oh look now, my moms coming in. ''I know it's hard but we have
to decide what to
throw out
so we can start packaging.I know its hard for you guys to
do all this.''
She sighs.
Trust me sweetie you'll make lots of friends when we move.
Easy for her to say.
I'll never throw out Vermont.

This is what angst poetry is

Submitted by doug.demaio on Wed, 06/13/2012 - 12:26pm.

This is what angst poetry is all about. A new topic, and a new attitude towards angst. Good work. I feel like you could extend this into an epic poem with only one stanza being angst-ridden. Maybe you could do stanzas from each of your family members' perspectives--moving is hard and stressful for everyone, even when you want to move. 

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
