Poetry.

[Hoxton]

To be honest I'm not the poetry type.
But this one caught my attention.

Whisper in the yard and turn the trees all into toys
Lay there on the ground, and turn the dirt into your joy
From what I see and what I know, it's all been boring lately
So I suggest we trade a question mark in for a maybe
Time your riddles right, and make a point that has no sense
Make sure that you're smiling, and the money's been well spent
Innocence and ignorance, it all goes hand in hand
I'm not sure that I'm right, but I hope you'll understand
I hope that you're still searching for the start that has no end
And all the plastic people have now become your friends
Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream
I just wanted to tell you that you're listening to a dream


Do you have a poem that you really like?

 

[DragonChi]

I'm a Poet
and didn't know it.

 

[Hazy]

I'm a Poet
and didn't know it.

Oh! I see what you did there.
Very smooth

 

[Hoxton]

No, because I can't/don't/won't read poetry.

Also because it's about feelings and shit and I don't have those.

That's what you claim.

Poetry is for little whiney girls I once thought. Then I read Paradise Lost, and redefined my definitions of both Poetry and Epic.

There's actually a game that Alt+Escape did that showed some very awesome poetry I believe it was called Today I die [http://www.ludomancy.com/games/today.php?lang=en].

I really like the works of Shelley, and I like soem funny poetry.
the shelley poem I like most is: Love's Philosophy.

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
in one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?--

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

EDIT: Fuck this.

Yeah it was indeed awesome!

That's what you claim.

I would know best, after all.

I know lots of psychologists that would strongly disagree with you.

I know lots of books that would say he is an almost perfect example of Schizoid Personality Disorder, from his own descriptions.
Check and mate, Mr. Smartypants.

Mine's a limerick my friend's uncle taught me:

There once was a beautiful young lass,
Who had a very nice ass.
It wasn't round and pink
Like most people would think,
But was brown, had fur, and ate grass.

He is a classy man.

Education for Leisure

Today I am going to kill something. Anything.

I have had enough of being ignored and today

I am going to play God. It is an ordinary day,

a sort of grey with boredom stirring in the streets

I squash a fly against the window with my thumb.

We did that at school. Shakespeare. It was in

another language and now the fly is in another language.

I breathe out talent on the glass to write my name.

I am a genius. I could be anything at all, with half

the chance. But today I am going to change the world.

Something's world. The cat avoids me. The cat

knows I am a genius, and has hidden itself.

I pour the goldfish down the bog. I pull the chain.

I see that it is good. The budgie is panicking.

Once a fortnight, I walk the two miles into town

For signing on. They don't appreciate my autograph.

There is nothing left to kill. I dial the radio

and tell the man he's talking to a superstar.

He cuts me off. I get our bread-knife and go out.

The pavements glitter suddenly. I touch your arm.

I thought that adventure done.
The feeling was almost gone.
But it's back again this time.
I'm going to say,
I'll begin on this day.
I'll go back to posting in rhyme.

It was awhile ago,
you may not remember me so.
But I must say that it's true.
I hope this new way,
will outlast 3 days.
If not, I will feel rather blue.
