A little internet magic

Well, this is a little bit exciting.
Let me honorably kick things off with a little sonnet I whipped up for my Verse Writing class. Much of the text is taken directly from or inspired by the craigslist 'm4w' (men seeking women) section, hence the title. Yeah!

Craigslist: m4w

Searching for accessible adventure?
If you’re my favorite kind of species
there’s a playground in my brain that you should see.

I’ve been told I look like an intrusion
and my friends consider me to be a man:
my best guess is that I’m slightly handsome.

As long as you prefer the aisle of canned foods
and aren’t ashamed of feeling like a plane
I’ve got amounts of charm to offer.

There are things I want to feel about you—
the way a hive feels when releasing bees—
but first you’ll have to send a recent pic.

I’m here to romance to capacity
and I don’t have time to need a beard.
