30 second poems is an initiative that allows you to not have any expectations of your work! do it for fun, for yourself, for your creative soul, your pillow, or for an audience of thousands.

Because of the length of this poem, it might've taken about a 60 seconds? The idea of freedom from expectation is what matters. We can all tap into this genius if we trust and let it flow (or let it go).

To emphasize this 30 second free concept- notice the raccoon onesie I'm wearing on this beautiful Sunday night.

Here's the written version:

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT

I wish I was straight.
Said no one ever.
No one ever.
One ever,
Had to.
To.

To look at yourself and say Thank you.
You.
Thank you for making me great.
Great with love.
Great with faith.
Great with eagerness to get this straight.

I love all genitalia.
I love all expressions of greatness
Of that greatness that seeps out
When we least pout.
I love that.
That.
Your smile
And my unwillingness to let you go
This go.
But then your smile reminds me
That there is a next second.
There is a tomorrow.

- Laura de Sommar

Love you all xx
