sweet mother of god
 a sponge is a cultural icon
 and this saddens me
 
 thank you.
  
 
  
  
    please make that
 advertisment for red dragon
 stop making sound
 it irritates me
 like foam on skin
 
 thank you.
  
 
  
  
    where do you guys get the inspiration from?!:D
  
 
  
  
    in a perfect world
 angsty poetry
 would still exist
 therefore a perfect world
 is an impossiblility
 as though pigs
 became aviary
 like you after
 I punch you in the
 neck. because that
 would be perfect for
 me.
 
 thank you.
 
 note: this poem has nothing to do with the posters at GFN or anyone on the internet at all. really.
  
 
  
  
    a poetic phone conversation
 
 oh my god, this war
 on terrorism is
 gonna rule! I
 can't wait until this
 war is over and there's
 no more terrorism!
 
 i know! remember when
 the u.s. had a drug problem,
 and then we declared a war
 on drugs, and now you
 can't buy drugs anymore?
 it'll be just like that!
 
 right! god, if only
 the war on drugs hadn't
 been so effective! i
 could really use some
 ****ing marijuana
 right about now!
 
 thank you.

 in a perfect world 
 angsty poetry 
 would still exist 
 
 
 poetic liscence is acceptable
 but angst ridden poetry
 or angst riddled poetry
 would have served the sentiment
 in a more deep and profound manner.
 if your poem had been more
 Suessian in nature the angsty
 would have flavoured the thought
 perfectly.
 
 *note this is not criticism
 merely from one Beatnik to another
 an observation*

 ]:rolleyes: 
 ah the dreams of youth
 are the regrets of maturity.
 without saying too much
 you are entitled to your views.
  
 
  
  
    The war poem was sarcastic in its entirety. heh.
  
 
  
  
    I too have a deep and meaningful prose poem to share. Came to me just yesterday, it did.
 
 ----------------------------------------------
 I LIKE COPS
 ----------------------------------------------
 
 I like cops
 
 I wanted to be one
 
 I strove to become one
 
 I set out to become one
 
 I tried my best to become one
 
 I nearly was one
 
 They wouldn't let me be one
 
 It was a technicality for christ's sake!
 
 I ****ing hate cops
 
 ----------------------------------------------
 
 That's the about best I can do. I wonder what's wrong with me. Maybe I'm just lazy.
  
 
  
  
    Gendo's poem revised
 
 
 I LIKE COPS, 
 so what you gonna do
 what you gonna do 
 when they come for you?
 I like cops 
 I wanted to be one 
 I strove to become one 
 I set out to become one 
 I tried my best to become one 
 I nearly was one 
 They wouldn't let me be one 
 It was a technicality 
 for christ's sake! 
 
 I ****ing hate cops 
 
 (now I just watch 
 the Rockford Files.)
 
 sorry Gendo just joshing you ;)
  
 
  
  
    the Blue casket is getting 
 a lot more thread traffic 
 and older threads are dissapearing
 I think we should all collectively 
 post in one thread to keep our poems
 alive and online. I have started
 a thread called More Or Less Poetry.
 It is also a place for giving 
 poetry lessons, and for sharing 
 poetic devices.
 If you wish to insure your words
 poetic posterity, transfer them
 over into this thread. that way
 we all can keep the thread alive
 and kicking.
