POETRY - Can you write a Poem?

[DonQuixote]

And I thought I paid you a nice compliment - I even tried to write it in Rhyme.

Who's this Gus character, anyway?

 

[Lefty]

Don,

You did. And I thought I said thank you, if not... I thank you.

My remark was directed at GUS-tin. Who unless I am screwed

up again, is Shih Tsu, Archies 'father'.

 

[EasyRory]

... I've already knocked out two Limericks and a haiku this morning. I'm on a roll!

I'm embarrassed to say I love limericks and that t-shirt that says "I am the young man from Nantucket."

 

[ShihTzuTylenol]

Give that man a Klondike bar!

Apparently the folks wanted to be clever and do a twist on the Justin theme. Damned hippies. At least they didn't name me Rainbow or Apricot!

 

[DonQuixote]

Or, Kumquat, perchance?
Now, What kind of a life would you have had in TX with a moniker like TAHT?!

 

[ShihTzuTylenol]

Kumquat? You'd have kicked your own ass with a name like that HA!


May I use that in the 'Words That Sound Dirty But Aren't Really Dirty' thread? Pretty please?

 

[writerman45]

A sudden ache explodes the place
The place that only you could fill
Leaving it jagged, ragged and raw
Like there’s roadkill in my heart
You were gone, gone into your own life
In a distant land, holding another’s hand
And now suddenly there is this
postage-stamp-sized photograph on Facebook
That no amount of zooming can improve
But instinctively I know it’s you; that look
I knew too well to forget, but what’s this band
of gold upon your finger? I don’t want
an invite to be your friend. I want it to end
This jagged, ragged jangling of my memory
This mushy mess of roadkill in my brain
This endless throbbing pain of longing
For release from thinking about the space
That only you can fill

An Other Gay Poem
_______by Gustin Tylenol III

Scour lies and mines of eyes
To see a sea of virtual ties
Leave behind a scatted bias
No return once you fly us

I'm serious, it's a gift.

Thought is thoughts
-------------------------------------------

After moments of silence

The sudden blare of myriad horn

And unto this simple life

Our very first traffic jam is born
------------------------------------------

Deep within the darkest night

I sallied forth without a light

Tripped on rocks and slipped on leaves

Now I'm the one who truly grieves

My flashlight is one that's old

And its batteries have grown mold

But my balls are very hot

And just bursting with their snot

And in my tender aching heart

my love for you has blown apart

for in the missing of our tryst

I solved the problem with my wrist
-----------------------------------------------------

Thought.....(stolen, not originating with me)

The world can't end today....can't happen...

It's already tomorrow in Australia.
-----------------------------------------------------

Stupid is as Stupid Does

Got the feeling so sorry for myself rap.

Think you're ugly and your world is crap?

Save the money from the shrink

Fix yourself a nice big drink

Change your clothes, do your hair

Go to WalMart and try not to stare

Watch the people there who stray

Around the store most every day

They are loose and run amok

You ask your self..just what the fuck

That should end your poor me rap

You should be ready for your nap


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

Last Word Today

I didn't do this to be lewd

Nor did I do it for the post

I did it for the home cooked food

So where the fuck is my pot roast

Yeah I'm just a little crude

But it was fun being the host

Hope it helped that attitude.
------------------------------------------

You know,

Life starts with a squirt..

Shouldn't it end with a bang?

QUIET! I'm reading Lefty's poem... brb

 

[ShihTzuTylenol]

I love how you aren't afraid to pour your soul into your words...I tend to be guarded, but you're helping me open up. Thank you Lefty.


lol at moldy batteries

 

[Lefty]

Gosh 'G'

I think we better be careful here.

might have to let in a friend.

Just one more thing to make us fear

has it come to this...and thats the end.

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

They read and write, and write and read

each others egos they can feed

to satisfy the tumultuous need

and gather thoughts that went to seed

writers are a lonely breed

with hidden hearts that really bleed

on each other they often feed

They read and write and write and read

Way over quota now, DON Q will probababbley AUTOLYCUSLY

have me suspended for this breachment of the publics appetite.

A sudden ache explodes the place

Writerman, a poignant, sad poem. A very nice effort. Thank you for sharing.

Kumquat? You'd have kicked your own ass with a name like that HA!

May I use that in the 'Words That Sound Dirty But Aren't Really Dirty' thread? Pretty please?

Yes, yes I would have, lol. And, yes, yes you may.

An Other (would that = Another? lol) Gay Poem -- short, but intriguing, nonetheless, my Acetaminophen infused friend.

Now to tackle Lefty's entries - I was off for quite a bit today, and there's lots here for me to catch up on. Fear not, I'm up to the task!

 

[Lefty]

Hope you got laid and you're in a

charitable mood Don or

Lefty, my dear Nobody's fool,
why ever would you think ME so cruel?

Have e'er I been
Not your friend?

I lamented your former, short?! demise,
Your temporary banishment I did despise.

I, like Gus, our NSAID of choice,
Enjoy the verse that you give voice.

Perverse?
Perchance, Perhaps.

Playful?
Positively, Person of Piss-in-your-Pants-Palavering Prodigiousness.

You brighten our otherwise grey, 1-800-Noa-hArk Day
With your crude, rude?! break into our solitude!

Thats what "G" is?

No, you've almost always been a buddy and been there.

Thses last contributions were a bit of a stretch into fun

areas but with an underlying message...at least that was

the goal...well, the important thing is somebody enjoyed them.

(loved the use of all the p words)

Tylenol = Acetominophen = NSAID, lol.

I'm glad you enjoyed the alliteration.
Chaz and I have played with it, before, and not always been "warmly" received - usually by some of our younger crowd - I don't think they "get" alliteration as a tool for fun factoid frolicking.

 

[Lefty]

I'm sure you have noticed my pompous propensity persuing pretentious,

pretty, posthumous, playful prosaic, parsible preferred patterns.

Write as though your audience will understand..if they do....GREAT.

If they don't, they can learn or lose. All you can do is offer opportunity,

they have to desire what you proffer or weren't an audience anyway.

Wow, was that brandishing bombast...belligerence and broadsword?

 

[DonQuixote]

Bellissimo, Bravo, Buono!
