Express yourself-in verse (Read 874 times)

    Here's a phoney haiku from a year or two ago:

     

    Training for the Seattle marathon,

        a maple leaf catches my hand.

      I'm on a diet

      but I eat too freaking much

      my gut is too fat

      When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

        When I drink alone

        Beer labels are strewn on ground

        For whom to enjoy?

        And you know sometimes it gets so painful Just like talking to yourself When everything don't seem to have no rhyme or reason We all go Do do loo do do, do do loo do do Waiting for the sun to shine


        Hey, nice marmot!

          Is glass hot or cold?

          Only one way to be sure.

          Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow!!!

          Ben

          Tomorrow will be worse

            Haiku's are easy

            but some don't make any sense

            refrigerator

              Hills, rain and monkeys.

              Baked goods and beer justify

              Ritual of pain.

              "I want you to pray as if everything depends on it, but I want you to prepare yourself as if everything depends on you."

              -- Dick LeBeau

                Wow- real haikus. I'm impressed

                  to versify

                  or not to versify

                  that is poetic question

                   

                  Runners run

                    you artsy folks think you're so great.  you should see my kid's art.  he traced his hand and applied some paint and low and behold... it looked just like a turkey.  you wouldn't believe it!  a turkey!  now that's a true artistic genius.

                      A great poem.
                      I think about this (Written in 1920, D.J. Enright) when I get typo-flecked texts from people.

                        Early morning start

                        Hills are quiet and mine alone

                        Flying Monkey sucks

                        The tangents are moot.

                         

                         

                         

                          you artsy folks think you're so great.  you should see my kid's art.  he traced his hand and applied some paint and low and behold... it looked just like a turkey.  you wouldn't believe it!  a turkey!  now that's a true artistic genius.

                           

                          One, two, three, four, five

                          Small hand turns into turkey.

                          Gobble, gobble, gob.

                            Swans are in the fields

                            winter solstice approaches.

                            Running in the rain.

                              spinach for supper

                              and coffee with my dessert

                              i just might explode

                              i find the sunshine beckons me to open up the gate and dream and dream ~~robbie williams
