This is a thread for displaying poetry, in case you write any.

Thunderfall approved this. The problem with these things are, however, that they have a tendency to get spammy; therefore I urge people to take into consideration what poems would be present here. Also, for your own sake, it might be an idea to link the poetry to some profile you have (DeviantArt for example) and show that you own a Creative Commons of the poem.

So, let's keep this clean and coherent. Mkay?

-------------

Spoiler Some poems I wrote :
Haven
(I don't like it personally, but I felt like writing it when I did. Here it is anyways)

Warmth adrift away in swift
Shackles grip my leg to root
Growing timely strong and tall
Trees have made my house a wall

Eyes ascend beyond it all but
Where I wander, was their good
Hunters loosen, bullets strafe
Guess my tree will stay my safe

Triumphant from treetop skies
Spotting fright in other eyes
Well imprisoned long down there
Soon be done and least we were

-

Bricks
(These are lyrics for a song I'm working on)

A new construction site
A brand new children's slide
The cog wheels spinning around
The oven's burning glow
Let our great mill grow
Grinding mechanical sounds
And the thicket's lush
And the machine ticks
And we're crafting bricks
For the same old cause
And the clockwerk rusts
And the machine busts
And it's gonna blow
And I don't think they know

Short School Drama
(I wrote this in like five minutes.)

J: Judge
Q: Queen
P: Prisoner

A queen sits in a room, and the judge enters.

J: “Good day, mylady. I present you to the criminal that sits here in the court. What’s important is for you to understand this man has offended this court in most disgraceful ways. He sailed to this island in his row boat and got here on the beach, stepped over the sand, and walking on our pavement. That’s not proper for him to decide, I made that sidewalk myself, he has no right for it.”
The queen looks disgusted, holding her hand to her chest in shock.
Q: “My, my! Let the prisoner come forth!”
A man in shackles walks in with a down face. He looks up at the queen.
Q: “Now, you boat rower, defend yourself! Show me that you’re able not to snag our sidewalk!”
P: “I make no mistake, milady, I’m here to build more sidewalk with you. I’m only asking fer a coin to feed me kids.”
Q: “You won’t get any coin for your dirty fingers! Now, promise me you’ll not walk on the street.”
P: “But dear Queen…”
Q: “A disgrace, a disgrace!”
J: “I’ll lend you my hammer!”
Q: “Judge, judge him!”
J: “Now, you traveller, you can’t be on the beach anymore. I release you, force you away, I sentence you to begone from this jail!”
The prisoner walks sadly out of the court.

The Great Mill
(This is actually lyrics for a song I'm working on)

Come on baby
Let's go march to the music boy girl
Feel the beat
Lining up a pattern under your feet

Sex us later
Should you go to drop out of beat girl
You are sure
That the rhythm is not meant for your tricks

Can't you see it's a regime of a technomachine
It's kinda clockwerk when it ticks, it's got you jumping baby
A nosy device in an amusing disguise
Gets you tick tock, when you stop it, you've got no work lady

-

A God In This Painting
(Actually a tune I'm pretty proud of, although I need to work more on some of the chords - yes, lyrics again)

The world has gone crazy
Because I wrote this book I'll live forever nevermore
A god in this paint, maybe
At least I'm pretty sure he used to be right here before

And then hentai, hentai
Honey, can you see me smiling?
Hentai, hentai
Money, can you see me cry?

-

Stillwind
(I'm not very sure how much I like this, I wrote it ages ago during some pretty darn hard times I had, some of the phrases are plain out crap. Although in context with some of my work it amazes me how some of the phrases still play out with my themes without doing it; difficult to explain. It's only here to be read anyways)

Firmly tightened around my waist, is she?
Her warm eyes pillows, and I rest at them
Her hands are my shoulderpads, holding me

You know when waterfalls are too colorful
They rain drops falling down tears flying apart

And she clinches my hand, warm kiss goodnight, she sleeps
I never move, she is too heavy on me
I hear her purr and wiggle her rear; she cuddles
I don't spread my arms and rise from the sheets;

Isn't she lovely holding me so tight?

-

Spring Horizon - The Sequel
(Yet another old poem, this time not carrying a canonical theme)

Bloom shows its face to the earth, the petals falling beside it, but softly revealing the soft meat of the inner flower - and look! It was naught, it was really nothing that grew up; thus it drained the ground...

-

Their Munchies
(Yet another song lyrics)

Hey there hound
Throw you a bone, and I'll not be alone
Hey there hound
Throw you a bone, and I'll not be alone

Hey there hound
You dug your way into the stomach ground
Hey there hound
You dug your way into the stomach ground

Hey there hound
You took a bite right out of my wound
Hey there hound
You took a bite right out of my wound
You all took a bite right out of my wound
 
Bloody Emptiness
The walls encroach me
The people don't approach me
Blood drips from the walls
As it does from my arms

Hippity-Hop Freestyle
by kulade

yeah yeah yeah yo (x4)

i pour a packet of powdered kulade down your throat
sittin' back i wonder if youll drown or choke
im loud and broke,
snortin 3 pounds of coke,
you clowns is jokes
and your backgrounds a hoax,
im loud and boast,
while you wonder how to cope
Bound in rope,
i tie you around an oak
beat you in your face til u get round and bloat.
I allow no hope,
im shark circlin' round your boat,
id be twice as crazy if the cops ain't found my dope.

word yo (x8)

When I look out my window
All I see is kitties
Hairy ones, shaved ones
Ones that smell like tuna
Oh how I enjoy
The feelings they bring me

Bloody, mangled kittens
Drowning in their own blood
Their skins are made into mittens
Their guts discarded in mud.

(Sounds dark, doesn't it? :lol:)
 
I used to write poems for warpzine - a publication I released from time to time back in highschool. It was quite silly, as you very well may imagine.

Here are some of the poems:

where is my sock?
-----------------
where did i put my sock?
i'm sure i was wearing it just now.

oh, wait, there it is.
on the sofa.

shoe thief
----------
i wish i had a gun.
then i could shoot
people in the legs
and take their shoes.

they wouldn't be
able to follow me
because their legs
would hurt.

sock madness
------------
when i'm all alone
i think of funny ways to wear socks.

i put them on my hands and run around,
because hey,
i have socks on my hands.

the romans
----------
i bet the romans got confused
when they loaded up word perfect
and noticed that a font was
named after them.

unsatisfactory comparison
-------------------------
you can't really compare a compass to anal sex.
they're two completely different things.

internet
--------
personally i'm against using the internet
as a substitute for chlorophyl.

much music
----------
everybody's talking about much music,
but nobody's doing anything about it.

a love poem
-----------
roses are red,
violets are blue,
i didn't mean,
to vomit on you.
 
Never knew you were a songwriter, L_J.

I had a neat little composition for Narz's short-lived poetry improv thread in Forum Games, but it looks like it got wiped. :(
 
Odyssey
by, PeteAtoms

take me on an odyssey,
strange new lands to see,
unknown self to be,
launching forth into me,
down to the bottom, of the sea.

lost myself in the borderland,
the blurred horizon in the sky,
sunk into the underland,
bathed in shadow, darkened by light,
journeyed into unknown lands.

ill take you on an odyssey,
into this last great fog.
come and share this light with me,
casting shadows, over all i see.

the moon defies the day,
the only light i see,
out past the stars,
up through the abyss,
so dark and endless.

to the edge of the world,
stand over the cliffs of it all,
the end to all beginnings,
hear me smile, as i fall,
to the edge of the beginning,
and the bottom of the end.

Well, technically I'm not, since I don't consider any of my pieces done yet. But that might mean the same anyways; I expect my songs to be done eventually, so yeah, I might be one. :p

In short, yeah, I write songs. :lol:

If you can come up with something good, this thread will be here of course.
 
i just remembered that i wrote a poem about my trip to chile a couple weeks ago.
at first i thought that it wasn't quite finished.. the ending is kinda rough after all.

but now i like it! it's done.

Every single thing I mention is a reference to a highlight from the trip

i went to chile - by warpus
--------------------------

i went to chile and it was great
there were glaciers, hot dogs, and even a lake
there were penguins, flamingos and weird-looking stuff
there was even a german, confused, and possibly buff

we were bitten by things and our knees almost broke,
and some of the maps looked quite like a joke,
but somehow we made it through till the end,
with help of tent's guy, his stuff, and his sweet tent

life lessons were learned along the way,
from burt reynolds, guy on a bus, and tina fey
porridge and eggs don't mix, so they say
i see what they're sayin' - but mix anyway

we got drunk with a tourguide and saw the three CENSORED
used crotch cream for stuff and another cream for itches
played tetris on a plane and brought stuff for stiches,
which we did not need, but you never know when a puma might CENSORED up your tent.

The Posts Perf's Makin'

by Fifty Frost

Two topics diverged in a spammy forum,
And sorry I could not post in both
And be one poster, long I stood
And looked at one as long as I could
To where it filled with Perf's spammy posts;

Then looked to the second, as just as fair,
And having, to some, the better claim,
Because it was full of mods and contained no flames;
Though as for Perfy posting there
He hadn't, though they're otherwise the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In pale white, since nobody uses black.
Oh, I read the second a little way!
Yet turned away, after just a day,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a happy sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two topics diverged in a forum, and then—
I read the one Perf posted in,
And that has made all the difference.

We have a Haiku thread you know. :p

Whoops, just saw this. Sorry! I'll keep my anti-nature haiku out of here after all.

Well, that wasn't what I meant. You can be dirty. But don't make two-liner jokes. That isn't what this thread is for.

At least the dumpfile still works! I hope this is the one you mean:

Spoiler :
Thorvald on Canada said:
There's a place called Alert
At the top 'o th' World
And a-top-ah that pole
Their flag's bein' unfurled.

Yo the Russians can't take it;
They say "Crazy Canucks,
Yo bettah give us that land
Or your friend down south's <snip>ed."

An' once-a-pon-time
They might've arranged it:
Cause they're known for their peace,
But Stevie's workin' to change it.

Suez '56,
They said "Let's work togetha."
They gave Pearson the Prize
And UNEF the tether.

Afghanistan now
Gaves 'em lots o' new toys
Like LAV-IIIs
That rolled over their boys.

But for Pashtuns and Tadjiks
They've provided a lifeline:
Paved roads, Timmy's drive-thrus,
And a big effin' pipeline.

At home it's a rainbow,
The world in a package;
Except in Québec
Where the veil gets no backage.

Yeah, come to Canada
Where the healthcare is free!
Though if you get hurt
There's no doc to be seen.

This 'Parliament' thing
Didn't really work out:
It conflicts with Lord Harper
And all John Baird's shouts.

All over the world
Canada's known
For MAPLE reactors
That got shelved at home.

Internationally
They're never found wanting.
Lewis, Kielburger,
Arbour and Sir Banting.

Go give 'em a call;
They invented the phone!
The Wrights' plane don't fly
As good as their own.

Their beautiful vistas
Make a perfect vacation.
Come see 'em quick
'Cuz the're oil-rich locations.

So if you seek mountains,
Green trees, and blue lakes,
Go the Great White North
And pound in your stakes.

They'll welcome you in
And soon you'll be mates.
Jack up your net worth
And get sold to the States.

And while we're on the topic of the Freestyle Thread, here's my rap about Mr. T, written in nearly-authentic rapspeak:

Spoiler :
Catharsis said:
I'm Mr. T, an' ah pity the fool
I'm the king of cool, all covered in jewels
Prospector's fortune-worth of bling on me
Stick a star on my head, I'd be a Christmas tree

Now some fools, dey don't dig what I be maxin'
Dey say I ain't as awesome as Sammy L. Jackson
And comments like that, dey be causin' me pain
I can't help it if ah get tha shakes on a plane

Now brutha, you know that things are not what dey seem
When I'm stickin' it ta bad guys wit mah A-Team
So peace out fool, just keep it alive-a
You can't touch me, I'm the black MacGuyver
