High School Poetry Bleme!

[dvandom]

I've decided to try starting a bleme. :) The rules are simple: when you see an LJ entry with this bleme, post a piece of your high school poetry in your LJ. preferably one that fairly screams high school poetry. A poem that might as well be wearing horn-rimmed glasses and smoking a clove cigarette.

Here's mine, written when I was 15:

I live in a prison of the mind,
I try to escape, but fail.
The warden is anything but kind,
I am the warden of my jail.

I was going to post a romantic piece I wrote in early university, since anything I wrote in high school I probably burnt - thought I had a copy of this poem on the HD, but I can't find it now.

But it made use of the words, "Stygian", "leviathans", and "chthonic".
