Please post your poetry people… I know I’m not the only one here that writes. Lets get some inspirational words on this site… then perhaps us electronic musicians will start using microphones!
Spark
eloquence
is in essence
a consequence
of having to express one’s self
in manners that transcend the noise of nonsense
spreading common sense through complex rhythm and rhyme
so your message can be heard through the deadly decay of time
but death is part of life, you know
it’s the part that makes our creativity flow
for the finite nature of being
helps us appreciate the infinite possibilities of now
so please don’t let the unknown scare
for you are here, you’re not yet there
and the present is a present
though it takes some assembly
and instructions are not included
though in truth they need not be
because it’s truly you that makes the time
not god or others
so use it wise
and when your fears have come to pass
you can rest assured, at last
that your spark was well worth it
I wrote this parody on the way to work… I know it’s more lyrics than poetry, but I’m stickin it here anyway:
(To the tune of “I think we’re alone now”)
I think I’m a troll now
user behave
that’s what you say when I am posting
but what would you say?
if you only knew that I was
the sole cause of all your spam
the only one that you keep trying to ban
routing my traffic through thousands of drones
so that my IP keeps on changing and you never really know just who I am
[Chorus]
I think I’m a troll, now
I know pretty lame, I don’t give a damn
I think I’m a troll, now
I’ve got this urge to flame everyone I can
look at the way
I can piss off all of your users
I cause such decay
if they only knew that I was
the sole cause of all of your spam
the only one that you keep trying to ban
routing my traffic through thousands of drones
so that my IP keeps on changing and you never really know just who I am
Sorry to tell you, but that’s not actually a Haiku. Graham is a two syllable word, despite its common pronounciation. More importantly however, your poem does not reference nature.
Heres one about Death, I play guitar to it, but nothings bin recorded yet…
Death swept into the room, and began to efficiently bring about our demise.
I was last to die,
Jonny was first to go.
With a wind blown paper cut
across his throat.
Then came Clive and Andy.
their fate to come was bad,
2 birds with one stone
like clay pigeons burst open.
An ignorant match sparking.
A leaking gas stove,
Julie died ok,
In a peaceful state,
The roof fell in just
as she fell into slumbers
She didn’t know,
4 more people to go.
Deaths mercy was shortlived
He murdered Alice
with acid,
He killed Tom with a click of his fingers,
the sound resonated,
round a mountain,
amplified by infinite skies,
and an avalanche buried him.
2 more to be taken.
But Ben noticed a pattern,
he stayed at home
wary coming out,
watching the roads
Death stayed close
Until hunger gripped,
Ben’s food out of date,
Death poisoned it.
Im the last one.
Im alone in my house,
Nothing but living plants for company
but deaths sat right beside me, we’ve compromised, he says,
“write a song about me”
After tonight, I’ll have some free time on my hands again!
