Re: two plus two poetry contest!!!!!!
I lost all mine years ago and I don't write anymore- mostly because I suck. I've been thinking about taking a creative writing course.
I was able to find this though: Starving we sing these songs Of forever-smiling corpses Of newfound love and joy Pure excitement in a This wind a million ghosts Swift formations Often humble breezes Mumbled secrets Then the whistling screams of regret Long fingers through cold damp hair Soft tongues on goose-pimpled necks Transparent eyes with silent tears Spirits who never fail To find intoxicated children dancing On the edge of apartment building rooftops Somewhere in the smog of quick answers Do you remember when We used to drink pink wine? Spinning in dulcet confusion Blue-Eyed Girl Do you remember when We used to sing in the wind-soaked rain? I guess you can call it "wind" |

Re: two plus two poetry contest!!!!!!
I would like to make a prediction that, if bison bothers to respond to this thread, he will probably own it with a poem he writes in like 4 minutes. However, I will come up with my own poem about poker and post it, since I did write the stuff pretty frantically for a while. Stay tuned.

This is a haiku I submitted to some poetry book. My teacher loved it, but sadly said he could not print it. Enjoy.
Can you find me now? I am hiding from Papa. Beat, beat, beat. He beats. |

Peppermint Patty.
She was busted with Marcy. Just a snoopy tongue. Some say they're worthless. I'll rip off your eyebrows too. Don't call me a freak. An apple for Bob. Three carrots for Jennifer. One fetus for me. Eat my pubes, said Mom. Do I really have to, Dad? Mom did it for you. Swimming in the sea. Skinning dipping for pleasure. Hope fish nibble me. Do me a favor? Stick your hand in the toilet And grab my toothbrush. |

Re: two plus two poetry contest!!!!!!
We call it life...
A requiem to an impossible dream; An inspiration to not let things be what you deem. A spontaneity that drives for perfection; A life that's nothing more than a reflection. An indifference to anything that matters; An inability to hear anything that patters. A philanthropic day that is left unsettled; A willingness that leaves one nettled. A chance, a hope, a will, a way; An opportunity to cast a bright new ray. |

Earth Poem
Scrawled on copper backs in soot and salty strain, my gaunt verse of toil hummed in grunts, days, the parching sun swallowed into the swing of arms, the clash of steel sunk into my dusty flesh. I am the poet-labor, the poet-earth. I am desperate for my shape— I yearn for myself, for more to be done. |

Roses are red,
Violets are blue; You think this will rhyme, But it won't. |

how about a song instead...
wrote this song about a guy who has a crush on the board girl and lost 7 grand in a bad poker night - (and you Canterbury guys know who Leesa is, but no, I did not lose 7 grand [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] - came up with it after writers block and the other guit player in the band tells me to make up a story about the saps around the poker table.
the BST plays it live occasionally....one of our better rockers. RB ----------------- Too Much Leesa, come away with me and be my river card my one shot at redemption or my favorite prison guard some things for a gambler just become his favorite crutch but Seven Thousand Dollars, love is probably just a few too much I know that I look ragged and I don't look like a catch I swear sometimes even the colors of my eyes, they do not match but neither bad luck nor the Devil has brought me to the ground but after Seven Thousand Dollars, I think I'm slowing down And now my hands are shaking even when I'm standing still if nothing else can get to me this way of life sure will and what was once a painful purchase has now become an easy sell it was Seven Thousand Dollars but it felt like Ten or Twelve So I'll be your favorite virtue if you'll be my favorite vice we'll go down to San Diego where the weather's always nice or if there's anywhere you want to go I can do that just as well I've still got Three Thousand Dollars and we'll keep that for ourselves copyright 2003 - words/music by Russ Brown. |
