Of all the people I could write a poem about…
I’m writing about
Landon.
Could have been worse,
I suppose.
Could have been about
Tom.¹
Commentary
This poem marks the second guest submission of Landon Acknowledge Me poetry week. Today’s entry comes from what some have dubbed “The female Landon” (Sometimes referred to as “Femdon”). Her pessimistic outlook, dour demeanor, and general disregard for chop claps, aggressive and overbearing friendship, and teamwork-centric hashtags make her an obvious spiritual match for Landon.
She is truly the other (slightly more South Asian) complement to Landon’s (Slightly less South Asian) sarcastic and angsty demeanor.
As such, for the duration of this blog, she will hereafter be referred to as “Jelly”. Thank you for the submission, Jelly.
Footnotes
1.) This particular poem represents a new wave and genre of modern poetry, referred to as “Unnecessarily Hurtful Neoclassicism”. This particular poetic sub-type is aimed at lowering the self-esteem and self-worth of overly cheerful and optimistic friendship-enthusiasts, by attempting to use their own social media platforms against them. For further modern examples of this genre, see Danielle’s “On the Emotional Assault of the Workplace Afro” and Landon’s “Critique of the Business Casual Groutfit”.
