THAT IRONY SWEET TASTE
HOW THE LAST HEART BEAT COMES EVER SO CLOSE
DREAMS OF WHEN
I ALLOW DEATHS SWEET TASTE
TO TAKE ME AWAY
OR THE DEATH TOUCH OF SUN SWEET RAYS
HOLLOW SUICIDAL RAGE FOR THE UNDEAD
HERE AM I....TEARS SHALL FALL FOR EVER...

There once was a guy named othello
whose snoring reduced me to jello
Which was quite unique
as I'm rather chic
and used to a better class of fellow.
Okay Peg - that took me all of 19 SECONDS!!!

Poetry Slam RULES:
You have to write it RIGHT NOW! Spur of the moment stuff! Immediacy is
Key!
Spontenaity & originality is important! Helps enormously if you're hung
over and have a stop watch to time yourself.
POINT OF SLAM - can _you_ produce a poem in under a minute? Can it spring
forth from your brain like Athena from Zeus? ARE YOU INSPIRED???
or have your muses deserted you? Find out.
*an amusing little ditty, but unfortunately disqualified because it was
pre-written. Try again, Jen.

Okay, maybe I'm just a functionally-illiterate pervert, but you guys
wouldn't believe what Vic's last line "quick lit. lick" sounded like when
you read it fast enough. Go ahead! say it five times fast!

After all, I think it was Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who once said that if the
words to a poem do not come as easily as leaves to a tree, they had better
not come at all. At least I think it was Tennyson.

who spent seventeen full years
on his greatest work?

Untitled
========
At last, you stand in the darkness.
Monochrome shades of utter starkness.
Look into the light from your eyes.
Shut out your miserable cries.
See furnace fiery bright.
Fates' cruel stinging blight.
As it catches you across the face.
Confrontation turns to chase.
Hoped to forget this, never returned.
But your memory's betrayed you and you are burned.
As claws dig in and drag you back.
Back into the illuminated black.
No longer bloody mindless thing.
Throw back your head and raise a grin.
And let fangs show as you laugh and growl.
Until again you become that snivelling fowl

There once was a Madman who's Sane
Who wished to catch hold of some fame.
He tried to write poems
And attempted to blow 'em
It blew and turned out to be lame...
Is that the idea?
The name says it all.

There once was a vampy named Chiller,
And oh! How those sherbets they thrilled her...
But we all know that candy
May be well and dandy,
But one day that sweet fang will kill her!

There was a coyote named Trickster
Who's fangs did significantly glister.
She was picked up of murder
But she said she didn't hurt her,
That it was actually a blood-drinking Mister.
I cannot believe I was able to write two of these in the same lifetime.

Hey, hey, hey. I think I need to take a moment to step in here. From
the Chiller's remarks, one might imply that I am, perhaps, somewhat
cheap. I would like to correct this misapprehension by clearly stating
that I am, in fact, DIRT CHEAP AND EASY. Thank you for your attention
to this delicate matter.

Dear God. You evil bastard, I spent years in therapy to try and repress
those memories. And now you bring them all back, including references
to weasels ripping my flesh. Okay, okay, I'll look for the damnable
thing and see what I can find.

Dear mindless fuckwit:
One off-topic post does not warrant a whole lot of action. Generally,
it's a fly-by situation wherein the perpetrator will not be back.
However, some situations arise where clueless imbicles consistently post
off-topic material after being informed of their undesired (as relating
to what the newsgroup is about) behavior. These moronic pests do,
however, warrant the scorn that is heaped upon them for being so
monumentally dense. I'm sure you can figure out which category you fit
into.

*ahem*
There once was a vamp from Nantucket
Any rule about poetry, he'd fuck it
Meter he'd screw
And syllables, too
But his rhyming was the worst of all.
You can send my Nobel check to the usual PO box.

Oh, gentle redwood,

Damn! Kill the beavers!
There. I hope you're happy now. As a chaser, I'll share one of my
favorite haikus, penned by the late great Jason D. "You rat bastard, you
still owe me five bucks" Corley:
Haiku is easy
Five and then Seven and then
"Weasels rip my flesh."
