make it happen
anything happening?
see if I care
contraption let me down again
in the usual way
smoke and explosions
insurance is to pretend this
sure is they way it
goes. And having gone
order the unverse to
deliver next time.

Hello qûtsa, what does your name mean? Welcome to the poetry thread!!

[fata morgana]

Rake the ground
An earring found
Like Golum, jarred
Looking down towards
Dirty snow,
The underground,
Keepsake crushed
A bungled rube
A mangled jujube
Peeling value
Missing one boob

wished i was dead before i red in the face lies i displace
the answer gave turned out grave wanderings in spite of
a cow word too quick to stick with a mere tooth pick
ore axe, your coffee i’ll never tax, wax spun; fun’s begun
but where will it tear off, cold but no cough, happy, alive

light is on in the other room
mine
dark in here
stereo in bloom
no one care
but me
indeed
true to form
before the storm
what ever plagues you retreats
it’s the simple shitt that getts u
clues overdues
news to me
all will see

i am in the other room
it is bright
stereo is far
stereo is near, waiting
process stands in the way
forever
forget regret
upset sunset
go
smile
awhile

Freakazoïd Barbie,
queens of the stone age. the why of it has more to do with email addresses than anything else.

Cool…

This is a poem based on J.O. Donigan’s: "Reminiscences of my Old Home"

This Lake

Around this Lake
There used to be
Wolf and hawk and eagle

But now, the only sight
To be seen
Is the Autumn of the be-all

Why do we trade
The grinding wheel–
One carcass for another?

One is furry
One made of steel
Which one, do you think, will go farther?

Should we fathom the changing
Lake, or the changing
Of the guard?

When all that is left
For old time’s sake
Is sawdust in the yard

You poem based on J.O. Donigan’s: "Reminiscences of my Old Home" is quite good. Prob the best thing posted on this thread. Where can i get hold of the original?

[likeaghost]

early but surly
surely not purely
crew the word
heard
learned
now burned
singles no wraps
tables for craps
dice would be nice
rice is the future
all must be sound
sometime
somewhere
know bee
play free
developed like film
tub no rub
a dub dub
bub

I see a few posters have been editing their stuff…Wanna hack-up/edit some of my stuff, but don’t know how to go about it–anybody?

From the FAQ:

Quote:

How do I edit or delete a post?
Unless you are the board admin or forum moderator you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post (sometimes for only a limited time after it was made) by clicking the edit button for the relevant post. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic that lists the number of times you edited it. This will only appear if no one has replied; it also will not appear if moderators or administrators edit the post (they should leave a message saying what they altered and why). Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied.

Thanks, once again, dB

what’s up poppycock?
butter stew’ll never do

dressed in gear
filled with fear
have no tear
end is near
beware if care
snare drum dare
hold on deer
one more year

Raspberry Fool

grainy rain
melting away
snow blow
raspberry fool’s
all I know

pussycat’s
got no coq
terminal block
‘fraid of the rock
‘n roll

no plot
no pull
white water dream
full

of tobasco
Cost-co,
Bosk-y and
Rosco P. Coltrane

bosh
Oshkosh
b-gosh
posh

plain drizzle
picayune
tune
va-voom

so long two
‘o three
greet thy name
thee–whoopie!!!
