#1
My hand fell asleep
Now it tingles like static
Sharp poking as if
I held a cactus in my
palm. Just imaginary.
#2
My left hand has just fallen asleep.
Now it tingles like TV static
Sharp poking as I held a cactus
In my palm. My imagination.
#3
My left hand will cascade to numb
It tingles like TV quibble
sharp pokes as I hold a hedgehog
in my still palm. Imaginary.
#4)
My left hand has fallen asleep
Tingles like a rumbling static
Sharp pinch as I hold a cactus
in my palm, but just a phantasm.
#5)
Hand on my left has just fallen fast obsolete.
Tingling like disturbing static on television.
Sharp poking pinches while I hold a cactus, small,
in my palm. but it's all just imaginary play.
#6)
My left hand has just cascaded to sleepy numb
Now it tingles like television turbulence.
Small sharp poking all over; i hold a hedgehog
in my palm, but it's all just a phony mirage.
I think i like the first poem the most, because it portrayed the original idea in the simplest way. However it was interesting how the restrictions on lines and syllables caused the meaning of the poem to change ever so slightly.
