Quatrain Corner

[ronthepon]

Snatched out all I had

All the earnings I ever had made

They stopped, scatched, took all away

A mocking farewell they bade

[Tarantism]

famished dogs follow slowly

as my own paws lead me to the dock,

to the last place

just above the surface in the middle of that man made lake

 

from this peir i turn my eyes

from the water, from that mirror of myself in the moonlight

and i cough for every crater that i can see

on the surface of that coffin we have come to call the moon

 

REJOICE! I, END, I WHO HAVE SAT MY FEET

BELOW THE WALL OF THEBES AND WALKED AMONG

THE LOWEST OF THE DEAD,

to carthas then i came,

 

only the most sacred crator

will suit my burial

only the most sacred chior

performs this ritual of DIRGE.

 

were dragged and bound to our graves by our mane's

[Tarantism]

lets dance glossalailia

around the tremulant anglophiles

in chicken suits of

tenement ego loss

[Loricybin]

thump tapping all the while

hum hum hum

did they catch that?

of course not.

[Queso]

I had fun here,

lounging by the computer.

Until the others came and pushed me aside

and they smelled like ****.

[Queso]

Look how far I got,

Look how much I learned!

They begged me MORE SCIENCE

I gave them poetry, they looked down.

[Queso]

An eager kid

now adult

sits and smiles

Learned the sky

[Queso]

my last quatrain

dedicated to Turtle

who understood,

and peered out of his shell at me pulsing.

[IDMclean]

What the hell am I doing?

Sitting here,

Typing a poem,

That no one cares about?

[Boerseun]

What the hell am I doing?

Sitting here,

Typing a poem,

That no one cares about?

Apparently pondering the futility

of sitting there,

typing a poem

that no one cares about.

[Tarantism]

people are elements

that when mixed correctly

can create thought seeds

which grow into idea trees

[Turtle]

Molecule? Molecule!?

Where for?

Art!

Thou molecule.

:)

[Turtle]

And

then there

were

two.

[ronthepon]

Playing at life, wordlessly

Tyring new ways, all times on

You'll eventually find, doubtlessly

Futile is life, till you get your way

[ronthepon]

What's the point in

living a life

without a part to play,

sans a drive?

[ronthepon]

Pull thyself outta that hole

Get back to yer feet

Shake your head, check your sole

got life's crap ter' meet!

[ronthepon]

Face them problems

see them all!

Work up the courage,

fear not the fall.
