Description: So i went a little overboard with a class assignment :]
At least i kept it PG (which proved to be difficult at times!) :]P
And for those of you who don't know, GLBTQQA stands for Gay,Lesbian,Bisexual,Transgender,Queer,Questioning,Ally. (i am an ally :] )
Anyway, the letters are all switched around in my title bc that's the order in which they appear in my poem....i'm thinking about changing it around so it's in the same order as the universal acronym...whacha think? (oh, and "S" stands for "straight.")
This was not meant to offend anyone, bc, as i said, i am an ally. i have many friends of diverse sexual orientation.
I think that is really good. and sometimes everyone goes overbaord with school projects if they get interested.
I really liked this. I had one of my friends read it. He's kind of slow, so it took him a while to understand the poem. He thought you were a lesbian, gay, queer, bi, questioning, transgender, straight, and an ally.
And as for people being offended, I'm bi and wasn't offended. I guess it depends on how sensitive a person is. Which is funny because I can be overly sensitive, or so people say.
I like it. As far as goiing overboard, meh, no such thing. Don't let the man stifle you. :) I like how Instead of just yammering on about how injust the discrimination is, you switch around perspectives. I liked that because I thought it brought a sense of unity to the different characters in the poem.
My only issue is that the flow's a little weird in some places. This'll sound stupid, but try reading your poems out loud sometimes to see if they really sound as good as they do in your head.
