no real poets allowed!

sweetest apple spice
liquid heat nipping at toes
I savor the bite

Well, that's a relief. Since I'm not a real poet yet. Just aspiring. But still, at least I feel safe in considering myself not among the ranks of poetaster. Therefore:

Scrub bad verse--
brighten then, poet
aster, shine.

Ethan Hawke

17:31 / 25.03.02

When I read the word
poetaster, I wonder
if rhymes are tasty

Snacking on verse
Crumbs of rhymes land on my chin.
I, poetaster!

Jack Fear

All poets are "real."
I hate the notion some aren't.
Thread to Creation!

Jack Fear

You're it or you ain't.
I'd ban that word, "aspiring."
Aspire? You're doing!

Typing on keyboard:
Can't think of what to write now...
Don't worry, its's done.

A myth keeps you from taking
full responsibility.
The myth's name? Talent.

speak not of talent
this mystery Ive seen naught
instead Ill play deft

bitchiekittie

18:02 / 25.03.02

the taste of your skin,
glittering with the trembling
courses of my tongue

gridley

18:08 / 25.03.02

opening the mail
paper cuts dry office skin
sick of my own blood

pointless and uncalled for

18:13 / 25.03.02

I have no talent
at putting words together
and I won't start now

Robot Man Reformed

Whyfore wouldst
Most souls attempt
While having given up?

I'm not a real poet.
I'm just one that somebody
made up for a laugh.

Three A.M
It's three A.M.
Eternal

still more paper cuts
what a fucked up communion
envelopes and blood

hitching in the spring
driver tells you about god
listen or get out

I like big butts and
I cannot lie you
other brothers can't

hot damn.

gridley

19:49 / 25.03.02

damn these paper cuts!
my myriad stigmata!
stop this blood parade!

This is so random. I made up a haiku today. I suspect only Haus even stands a chance at getting it, which is depressing. Why aren't there more Blake's 7 fans on this board?

Can't you go fifty minutes
Without mentioning
Vampires, Tanith Lee?

Spatula Clarke

I just slated 'love'
In another thread
Come on you fuckers, flame me.

Robot Man Reformed

C'mon Baby
Hit me
One more time

Jack Fear, you haven't been
Reading the 'Daily Poetry' thread
Or reading much Craig Raine.

Spatula Clarke

All haiku does not,
as some folk would claim,
have to follow a strict form.

At least, that's the suggestion
put into my head
by other posts here.

Spatula Clarke

Jesus Christ, I'm tired.
I must go to bed.
But first I should brush my teeth.

My teeth are okay,
please don't get me wrong,
but I've just drunk some Irn-Bru.

Robot Man Reformed

22:33 / 25.03.02

And finally
A shift provides
The sweet relief from work

Spatula Clarke

'E. Randy Dupre'
'RobotManReformed'
Each name has five syllables

Perfect for haiku.
That observation
proves sleep is a good idea.

Does Flyboy mock those
Whose works grace that poetic
Place, or am I wrong?

Running against wind,
Transparent box a coffin,
now bad clown laughing.

Zen pig eats mex food.
The sound of 1 ham crapping.
Not enlightenning?

Jack, gridley, FridgeMag.
your writings are too canny
for this thread without talent

my own, in comparison
fit in rather too well
oh well, there you go..

Jack Fear

13:40 / 26.03.02

What is this fucking
"talent" thing that everyone
keeps talking about?

pointless and uncalled for

15:57 / 26.03.02

The new barbelith
Pretty damn good job there Tom
Thanks for all the work

"talent" thing that everyone

This morning, a bird
sang like my yard was heaven,
looking for some tail.

gridley

19:26 / 26.03.02

rizla, you are wrong
I am as untalented
as anybody
