Title: Poem
Post by: mmmPeanutButter on February 06, 2005, 02:59:56 pm
I wrote this poem last night.  I don't think its very good, but it's not terrible.. (or is it?)   :D


I went to buy an arcade
at a downtown warehouse raid
but they fell off the truck
so oh what the f**k
I guess an arcade will be made

I'm thinking it's more of a limerick  than a poem....

It's pretty on par for internet poerty, but a far cry from e.e. cummings.  Wow... that's a funny last name she he had.

(EDIT: The 'ole slip of the S)

That poem sux more ass,
Than falling face down in glass.
Stick to playing mame,
Or any other game,
And try and make that poem your last.

MmmPeanutButter
Writes terrible poetry
When he is on crack.

 ;D

How about:
Intending to buy an arcade
I drove to the warehouse and paid
But they fell off the truck
So I said "What the f--k!
I guess one will have to be made!"

that IS a limerick. peanuts, can you do us a haiku? that would be more fitting. but remember, there is more to it than just 17 syllables. i've forgotten the rules, but it must incorporate an element of the earth and something else etc...

e.e. cummings was a man.  I don't think poetry and arcade controls are a good combination.

That's what they call a 'typo'.  What can I say?  I like my "S" key and try to get it involved with everything I sdo.

An AABBA rhyme scheme is a limerick.  Shakespeare sometimes broke into limerick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_%28poetry%29  God, I am so bored...

I never mentioned anything about the meter - just the rhyme scheme.  ;-)
