Ezekiel's Tears

[ChristopherSea]

I can't help but say this, bc it's a funny story--this one's based on a photo of a painting a girl from okcupid txted me, and I liked the painting and we were hitting it off, so I wrote this poem and sent it to her, somehow not grocking the fact that a creepy poem about bats eating flies might warn someone away.

She ended up canceling our first date hahaha

Ellajam--thanks for pointing out the weaknesses here. I'll give it another rewrite to see if I can get it to be consistently engaging. Thanks for the notes!

Internet dating's funny that way.

Perhaps, that backfire happened because you were on a dating site. Had you met her on a poetry site, you may have had a totally different experience. I know a little about it, as I met my wife on a poetry site.
