Tinder Poems
Middle Eight - 7th June 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart
Oh isn't it nice when
I'm napping on the sofa after a long day
And the phone beeps
It's a match on the dating app
Where she says hello straight away
So I say hello back
And 15 mins into it, we decide to meet now
I run up the stairs to
Brush my teeth, trim my shave

Love Timeboxed - 9 September 2024

She loved me from dawn until when it was time to leave
Before that, just another first date
Strangers of Saturday
Morning match and texting
Always the same

"Not much. You?"
Number swap and location share

a shameless love letter to that guy from tinder
by Allyson Sirois
two months of you felt like a single exhale
lost in the wind
like a sustained eye contact from that beautiful girl walking past
too short to fully appreciate
long enough to think about all day
we slept a bit less
to taste each other a bit longer
I daydreamed the days after
with bags under my eyes that safely kept memories
