    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

    I made it for you actually and I’ve been heartbroken for weeks that you haven’t reveled in it

    Or months, how long ago did i make this thread?? Because thats how long I’ve had a severe case of mildly overblown heartbreak

    there's things i could say,
    and things you don't know,
    but this thread is TL;DR,
    bored now; gotta go.

    I always used to say the letters TLDR but for purposes of proper cadence I pronounced it ‘tilder’ here and now I’m wondering if that’s what I should’ve been saying all along

    Except for maybe door hinge.
    Hard that wasn’t.

    caco_ethes version better use “singe” or i’m walking out
    She juicy thick
    like Orange Julius
    pop and lock, girl singe
    you Vesuvius
    Lets do it in the ash
    Cuz that booty is
    All good no need for a uterus
    Go on, grease that groove like a door hinge
    Cuz dis *kitten* so big
    make a *kitten* cringe
    More words that rhyme etc poor fringe

    They said I got the ‘rona
    I said it can’t be true
    Last words on my deathbed:
    “Glad it ain’t the Spanish flu!”
    Now I’m a spectral poet, so what I say is true
    Look down while you’re walking or you’ll step in doggie doo

    This was beautiful

    Time flying by
    Still I cry
    For a future that's not here
    I think about you dear

    I think about the passion and the love
    That seemed sent from above
    But you were a false God
    The old memories I prod

    Looking for that soft warm place
    That was your embrace
    When I felt like I belonged
    Before I was wronged

    And am approaching brilliancy

    Dark and lonely on the summer night.
    Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
    Watchdog barking – Do he bite?
    Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
    Slip in his window,
    Break his neck!
    Then his house
    I start to wreck!
    Got no reason —
    What the heck!
    Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
    C-I-L-L …
    My land – lord …

    “Do he bite?” is theee funniest part

    Four semesters late and the wrong degree
    Always should’ve been a liberal arts PhD
    I aced all of my classes, blew it on my comps
    Lots of circumstances, not one ounce of pomp

    Coffee Beans: A lamentation

    When pressed you reduce my stress
    You spur me on to finally get dressed
    And work. Progress.

    Yet they - yes, they - say you are a source of distress
    That you leave my visceral fat unimpressed
    And ruin. Progress.

    (Mandatory scene setting: it is here where, in my mind, the smoke-filled room's noise level rises ever so slightly as the audience of 14 people raise their arms in the air to snap their fingers as I exit stage left...to grab a cup of coffee)

    Roses are red,
    violets are blue
    Well, a bit like lavender actually
    Just like a little deeper shade of bluish purple
    Like cerulean kinda
    Which I can’t pronounce and honestly isn’t even close to the right color
    Anyway let’s watch that new space documentary

    Decades passing by
    Like ships sailing in the night
    You appear again
  • I know your type, I see them all around
    You're gonna tell me I'm "beautiful," and that your wife drowned
    You'll sell me a story, one that I'll buy
    I'll wait anxiously for every reply
    Til one day you leave mfp and return as another headless torso looking for some other dumb *kitten* to get you to send her nudes
    And she does

    I mean, if you're LOOKING for a story to buy, I have a few up on Amazon...do you like horror???
  • ...there is a thread for that! Actually I think there's a thread for both of them

    and because this is the poem thread, something something hem
