A Love Poem For My Sister: Aren't Her Initials Unfortunate?
I hate the way you touch me
Not because I find you repulsive
But because of the nasty way your cold clammy finger tips graze my skin
-
I hate the way you smell
Not because you have B.O
But because of the way your tree hugging vegan farts radiate across anyspace
-
I hate the way you talk
Not because of your voice
But simply because your corny jokes last for far too long
-
I hate the way you know
Not because you're smarter than me
But because you know my every weakness and use them against me
-
I hate the way you eat
Not because of the annoying way that you chew with your mouth open
But because of the way you eat a salad bowl of just potatoes and rice without gaining a single pound
-
I hate the way you breathe
Not because of the way you blow hot moist air into my ear with each juicy secret
But because of the way you choke on air when you uncontrollably laugh
-
I hate the way you dress
Not because you stole my dress before I took the tags off
But because of the freakin' pit stains I found when I took it back
-
I hate the way you're honest
Not because you tell me every unnecesary detail
But becasue of the way you honestly don't know when to shut the hell up
-
I hate the way you look at me
Not because you have four eyes
But because you see through my every scheme
-
I hate
I hate
the way you
smell, talk, touch, know, breathe, and dress
Not because
I hate you
Not even because you annoy the crap out of me and take my shit
or
because of the way you laugh at my jokes and tell me secrets
but
because of the way, through all these things,
-
I love you
In honor of my sister's birthday this month, I decided to share the poem I wrote about her for a project in college. Maybe I'll post a serious one her actually bday! Anywho, I hope this made you smile and think about your loved ones. Maybe you could even imagine my 19 year old self scheming and burning away the midnight oil in my dorm room, laughin like a hyena. Happy Saturday! #June2024

Awesome work! Love this read. Keep up he good work. When you get a chance please check out my work let me know your thoughts.
def captures the way a sister relationship can be! congrats on ts!
This def feels antithetical to a love poem, yet the raw honesty and genuine emotions showcase a warmth and sincere love for your sister.
Congrats on top story
A unique way for the expression of love Great job Congratulations on TS
Congrats on your top story.
the complexity of love and annoyance that comes with truly knowing someone. Keep up the great work! And congrats on your top story🎉
People are often better off knowing that real love is messy and the more laughter we interject, the better off and healthier we are. Nothing like sister love!!!
Haha genuine, honest, and affectionate!
interesting way of expressing love...
so sweet ♥️
Congratulations on your TS. Makes me wish I had a relationship like that with my sister, who rarely speaks to me since our mom died in 2016. Long story but I ended up not missing her. I guess that's what cruel words can do, too. Your poem makes me wish my life had a better outcome.
I thought poem was going to be a note to self. Great job hiding it is about your sister. Congratulations on Top Story ⭐️
hahahaha. This made me laugh and kinda feel warm feelings. Well written and you didn't give your sister an easy run of it to get to that last line, but it feels like she would know you think these things anyway before you wrote it. Well done, Jennifer and congrats on a great Top Story!
Your poem resonates with warmth and affection, reminding me about the special place a sister holds in our hearts.....interesting to read.
