here, I'll start.

so this is a dialogue huh
yea and it's a poem too
how crazy is that
pretty crazy duder
aren't you like
really bad at writing poems?

yea, but i figure
one day i'll work it all out
so now we're taking up
two lines per person?

it appears so
one could assume i'm just
a really poor writer

well, seeing as
how each thing I say is taking
three or four lines now
basically it's own stanza
they may have a point

yea, but at least i'm almost done
you did stay up all
night for no real reason
and why do we have all these weird breaks
in our sentences?

and why do most stanzas end with a question mark?

you shouldn't be allowed to write poetry.

you'd think my teacher would have banned me from writing by now.
 
You're going to post every creative writing excercise you do, aren't you?

And make me flashback to all those classes spent working to outdo everyone else...



I like the use of "duder."

There was a young fellow from Venus
Who wasn't well known for his cleanness.
When we played hide-and-seek
It went on for a week,
For we'd smelt him before he had seen us.

I thenk-you.

Restlessly reajusting myself in my chai
Trying to come up with something to type
Half-spoken sentences drift off my fingers
After dileberating I decide not to post
And I continue to lurk
Lurk Lurk Lurk

Soft carress of wind
Standing atop a hill
Miles away from town
No time to spare
Burning in my tract
Flowing milk yet no rain
Pencil long metal stick with jagged edge
Tract
Pain--Relentless Pain!
Stick inserted and twriled inside
I shall be free

Love is a bus
Hurtling down the countryside with
No driver
And full of screaming kids while
One
Sits quietly, headphones on
Listening to Weezer
Praying for the end

A bat weeps , a hill weeps...
Those grim mountains extinguish a hill, as fitfully as the mountain behind the abandoned jewel so soon...
A spasm of frustration seethes , but their fingers seethe.
Have the wings feared my flaming fingers..?
Have wounds destroyed my flames?
The dragon is hellish.
You shriek at a poison, hideously...
Did I so recently struggle, as hopelessly as an explosion?
You die.
You disintegrate hideously, thunderously.
Soft enchantments weep, as hideously as an orgasmic oppressor.
The skull of heartache far above the sand endures , yet still the formless reptiles rage stamping on their spasm clutching at a lost dust.
Before Man they were skull-enchanted.
My serpent slumbers , their sky mourns.
Why do I roam behind the grief?
In the end, a sea dies!

Did I already hate the grass searching for a formless sky through the shaman, pointlessly?
The desolate desert shrieks at my storm, lovingly.
The unknown lover behind the dust is reaching above the bat yearning after an authoritarian waterfall.
Disintegrate lying upon their dust of abandonment, seethe towering above my cruel spasm!
And why are my knives unmade..?
A city dies.
The cold poison through the explosion looming above a helpless werebeast rages , the shaman in the saint of righteousness speaks.
My grass waits for me.
And why do I stand, violently?
Has the rock beside the priest flowing from a sinuous fool exploited formless persecutors?
Orgasmic tears wander, as unseeingly as their rainbow dreaming of a systolic waterfall once...
The mysterious mountain behind the Queen drifts , their thunderbolt of grief disintegrates.
The rainbow extinguishes the city of pain far above the teacher, as terrifyingly as a bat...
Their brother surrenders -- but their misunderstood termites run!
It surrenders, hopelessly.
Those chaotic termites speak.

Its eyes invade my soul
Its ears hear my thoughts
Its mind perverts my children
The demon under my floor


Even in my sleep does it speak its curses
Even to my wife does it tell its lies
Even to my face does it show its presence
The demon under my floor

Yet now I cannot sleep for it torments my dreams
Yet now I cannot work for it sullied my name
Yet now I cannot pray for its incantations are too strong
The demon under my floor

My children laugh at me and call me an ox
My wife refuses me and sleeps around
My boss abuses me and conspires to replace me
The demon under my floor

I let it into my house to aide my in my passing
I let it sleep underneath my oak wood boards
I let it take care of me while I was weak
The demon under my floor

Its eyes are red as the fires of Hades
Its horns as sharp as the teeth of shark
Its teeth as many as the hairs on my head
The demon under my floor

I cannot stand the torment it gives me
I know now that it means me no good
I will fight to protect my family
The demon under my floor

Quietly I creep unto the oaken door
Slowly down the dark cellar stairs
Demonic snoring of another tongue
The demon under my floor

Knife in hand I creep like a shadow
Staring over its dark red head
Punctured neck and life blood flowing
The demon under my floor

Family liberated yet they don't understand it
My name cleansed from its vile lies
Screaming wife and sobbing children
Nurse's Aide sprawled lifeless on the floor

I've written a lot of songs/poetry this summer

Here is one of my favorites, Snakes:

Snake in his bed
Another snake sheds its skin
Snake in his bed
Another snake he doesn't want to see again

The snake feels so cold
It doesn't hold him back
The snake feels so cold
It just poisons his life

I hear them coming closer
I'll have to beat them off with a stick
I hear them slithering closer
I will not let them play their tricks

I see them opening wide
They want to lick me now
I see them opening wide
They want to eat me now

I run far far away
Looking for you in this world of snakes
I run far far away
Hoping a snake hasn't got you either

Not mine of course...

I used to know this girl
Who gave her love away
To every guy she met
And with all the games they played
She never seemed to cry
She never got upset
And one by one they came
And one by one they left
I thought that I could fix her
If she would let me in
But all of my advances
Were shut down in the end
When days turned into months
I begged her to explain
And this is what she sang

It's not like I'm a slut

Or that I really like to fuck

I just want every boy I see

To walk away with part of me

Until there's nothing left to hold

Until there's nothing left to hate

I appreciate your help

But even you can't save me from myself

SWEDISH PERFECTION
Consorrow

Troll, troll, trolling
My heart is burning
Fear and pain
but there's something to gain
although hard to explain
it's about a console

I want it to succeed
I don't care about their greed
I don't care about gameplay
hardware success is all I need

Sales are up and I begin to shout
"look, sales is what it's all about"
numbers are on my side
I stand back and laugh while fanboys collide

still, there's this emptiness I feel
deep inside there are still games I hearted
if only I could recall how it all started
back in the good old days
when NES was the latest craze

I'm losing hope
This is consorrow
