Did Mr. Poe Try Writing Poetry?
  Of course, and he was rather good at it!
  Yeah, but he sucked it at it.
  Nah, he was too lazy.
  I don't know, and I don't really care.
  EHEHEHEHEHE! I GET IT!

I'm making this up as I (we) go along: (<--song reference you all probably won't get...)

Named for a Bug

Sitting before me
Regal and just
Imp's smile stitched on your face
Cherub on the brink of corruption
Denim-bound and positioned joints
Named for a bug but furry and canine
Dennis no menace with just overalls
Folded ears and empty eyes
Crooked velveteen nose
Named for a bug and made with love
Denim-clad ballad singer with a pen in your paw


Inspired by the fact that my stuffed dog, Harrison, is sitting near me as I type and has a pen taped to his paw. He was "singing" Bon Jovi earlier. And, yes, I do suck at poetry.

Why, thank you. I must say. xD

I didn't bring Harrison with me to VA...he's on my bed with Skittery the Billy Joel bear.

when I look

into the sun my
eyes shy away as
tears stream down my dry face
and
i cry

sweet tears of
blindness. when i finally
look back
at the ground my
eyes continue to

stream fresh salt water
from my tear ducts and
i
see dark blotches on
the grass. will the darkness

in my eyes
ever go away? will they ever be filled
with light

again? why is it that i find
light in the darkness? why must i
shield my eyes
to see?

is the true path of knowledge in
avoiding the truth, only

approaching it while
hiding myself from it? i cannot ignore
the truth! i will always face the

light! i shall go blind as my eyes
disintegrate in a wave of
painful streaming tears! and
the ignorant shall be

enlightened.

:] Thanks. I just came up with it...

Here's a picture of the subject of the poem and his namesake:

The resemblance is uncanny don't you think?

Oh, yes. Definitely.

Mooby: that poem was quite moving.

Cained

I see it coming, but I do nothing
To stop the pain. I welcome it instead,
And all the burning torture it will bring
That makes me wish I were already dead.

I tense up as the source draws nearer still
To my frail soul. I fear the pain that soon
Will overtake my feeble-hearted will,
And send me on a path to certain doom.

And why, you ask, do I partake in pain
Without protest or motion to escape?
'Cause as the pain begins to slowly wane
It numbs the heart from even greater rape.

I welcome pain in cowardice of grief,
This pain, my caine, is relatively brief.

I saw this poem in Mooby's away message. I wish I'd though of it


Roses are red
Violets are blue
In Soviet Russia, poem writes you!

xD I've heard that before. My friend sent it to me.

I really suck at writing poems. But I'm bored so here's a try.

Flash of light, flash of blue
Tumbling down below
Splash of booze, splash of blue
There's nothing left to do
Trapped in an image
Hard to escape
Kicked from a banquet
Flash of light, flash of blue
First to come, first to leave
Forgotten by most
Legend no doubt
Flash of light, flash of blue
Prince goes tumbling

Crappy but I made it up on the spot. xD Kudos to those who can guess what it's about.

Ooh, ooh! I know! But...you told me so I don't think it counts. xD

C'mon, BB, you know you want to write something highly structured and lyrical...

yes, but I'd rather have the poem do the work for me.

Something Highly Structured and Lyrical


Im writing something structured, don't you see?
Never said I it was grammr correct.
And the spelling might be two nice and collect
a worst spelled in poem awarding for me.

As for being lyrical this is too.
is ABBA CAAC BB,
The skeem that seemed like the best for to me.
So how is this lyrical masterpice you?

I think for to end it it is perfect
To write a word sexual such as erect.
