If F stands for FAIL,
Why does BYU use E?
Does E stand for EPIC FAIL?
Could that possibly be?

FAILURE
Fortune gathers those who know,
All the seasons take their turn,
Instant while the moments glow.
Logic binds the rapturous burn,
Urgent weather aches to go,
Rising fractal through the fern,
Eager toward its final show.
Favor garlands those who win,
Always brings the nascent bloom.
Ill-equipped the fools begin ,
Laughing in the face of gloom.
Unction cannot cure their sin,
Reverie within the tomb,
Ether makes them small and thin.
Fame ignites for those who stay,
Answers play their hide and seek,
Islands rise to greet the day.
Languid kings in riddles speak,
Urchins left in love’s cliché;
Raucous, raging, hollow, weak.
Even failures find their way.

I faintly feel
my spinning wheels
come creaking to a stop.
To keep them going,
momentum slowing,
takes much more than I’ve got.
A push, a prod,
a smile and nod,
I’ll take what I can get.
Help come quick,
come pure and thick;
I’ve miles to cover yet.

It has taken some time,
really hours of study
and preparation, but luckily
a big red “F” has never been mine

Courage to look,
I quickly turn away.
The girl I love,
Her heart I cannot sway.

I ripped the poem
that I wrote for the girl
who works in the library
in half on accident
and therefore I never talked to her
