It Isn't Even A Page Long

I read your words today,
Barely capturing the meaning of them
Under the dusty letters and webbed pages.

Please read from start to finish
And comment only
When you have given a thorough thought.


Of what you are about to say.
Is it what you really mean to say?
Or is it what you should say?

I don't understand and neither do you.
If one doesn't do what the other won't
Then who will decide?


Ok then,
The answer will always be yes--
Actually, it was nerrasphere.

But that was yesterday
When we had nothing better to do
But run through an orange light.


Have fun and don't die,
Go to sleep and wake up.
Eat food and live you're life.

If I actually started rhyming,
This would turn into utter nonsense.
Not that it isn't already.
Just something that I wrote a couple of days ago. It was the evening and I was tired. Every other verse is supposed to be italicized, but I'm not sure how to do that on DA.

Explanation of the word 'Nerrasphere': You are right. It is not even a word in the dictionary. It was made up in my digital studios 2 class when our student teacher kept on saying ''Don't forget to use Nerritive and atmosphere !!!'' while we were working on our projects. A kid in my class combined the words and came up with 'Nerrasphere'

EDIT: K. I'm trying to put in the italics (with some info from DJChocolatelover). Let's see if I can actually get this to work !

Interesting poem...I like the italics on the verses and the imagery you use.

Only correction: first line - 'you're' should be 'your'

This is a really great poem :D
