    "What's the use of whining?"
    So many people ask.
    "Just push away when dining
    And walking's an easy task."

    And I reply quite smartly
    "That's easy for you to say,
    A gnat like you can hardly
    Get where I am at today."

    But just you wait you troll,
    I'll beat this in the end.
    And when I do, you measly mole
    I'll have the last laugh then!


    ;) Best I can do on short notice!

    Very nice!

    I can't help but notice that you didn't comment on mine. I mean, come on. I managed, with extreme elegance and creativity, to include several issues that all of us face in a mildly passive aggressive mid life existential crisis..... Roses, Farts, Tripping People, and Wanting to take someone's Money. If anything were to bring humanity together to bond and make world peace it would be my poem.

    It was, it was definitely all great things. Just.. I’m not a big fan of roses.

    I might question the wisdom of said man. Twitter is a very, very bad place (IMHO)

    I feel like I have escape from the other side of a long mid-life existential (all of life is really an existential crisis though, aint it?) crisis tunnel, started sometime when I had my first kid in 2009 and simultaneously switched careers and rev'd into high-gear in 2013 when my Mom died.

    Now in 2019 I'm (relatively) stable, patient and legitimately pretty happy, flexible, optimistic, and best of all, present.

    One hell of a road to get here though.

    Sorry this aint a poem.

    Oh but it was @very_californian it really was

    Time to push popcorn
    Remind them why they need it
    What fresh hell is this

    What have I wrought now?
    Products no one needs nor wants
    Why did I sign up

    Pop, poppity, pop

    Picture on a screen
    Your pixels are so pristine
    Image like a dream

    Damage has been done
    Supernatural feeling
    On the floor, reeling

    Render yourself to me
    Waiting for data from clouds
    Entry point willing

    Multiverse access
    Can no longer digress here
    Give yourself to me

    See you look at me
    Pretend it's reality
    Madness, imagine

    Render yourself to me
    To me, picture on a screen
    Curse the sky above

    Time marching onward
    Will I always feel this way?
    Useless and confused

    Life ebbing from me
    Alone, always outsider
    No worth now, undone

    Stuck always second
    Third, fourth or fifth on ladder
    Left behind again

    I am here
    alone like you,
    I suck at poetry...I don't get it, I just try to rhyme and make sense
    but I'll try for you!

    (random thought alert...can you put punctuation in the middle of a poem? @your_future_ex_wife)

    (public) shame...no fear!
    "I'm just new"
    I like to go off on a tangent, spewing my thoughts, hence
    here I am too!
    Ya, I used to get my bestie to write poems for me for English class in high school, we'd trade, I'd do her art, she'd do my english and math homework

    Ha! edit 'cause improving all the time :lol:

    Stalk your prey across my floor
    Pounce, then nap, sleep some more.

    I like caffeine
    It is my favorite bean
    but don't make a scene
    when it makes your insides clean.

    I should like to die
    Under a pile of books
    Fulfillment from fantasies

    But not these books here
    They do not belong to me
    Husband, you're a hoarder

    Just admit it, dammit.

    You strut and pose like a proud peacock,
    Time and effort for a body sculpted,
    Preened and presented, abs like rock
    Better than Joe Public with fat erupted,

    Looking for that dream partner with looks to die for,
    A life time mate that you think will stick,
    Though you will always love yourself more
    Because basically you are still a p r i c k.

    Did I know about this terrible poetry thread? I feel like I must have, but I've forgotten about it which is a shame because I feel like this is my sandbox


    Falling into my own fire
    Inhaling my own smoke
    Killing myself
    with my refusal
    to let go of a dream
    I'll never know
    who I could have been
