Blank verse (plus any other poetry form)?
Bohawkins | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 01:39 pm     It was an experiment in human kind, or so they told us. But instead, merely an exercise we find in the daily practice of basic greed and carnal avarice. And without love and truth and kindness, the formula is lacking. So we are left to observe only the nature of secretive planning and hateful scheming and the shameless execution of the lie. |
Beruthiel | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 01:12 am     Bumping... Bo, that's a hard act to follow! I think you've scared us all off! [I also think it's excellent, by the way. :-)] |
Justareader | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 07:17 am     bo you're so poetic!!!!! you can do all these forms and appears to be effortless for you! I am envious! |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 12:43 am     Please rest you merry gentlefolk, Let nothing you dismay. For Arnold's crew is toiling To keep interest in the game, And save you all from boredom's grip When strategies go astray. Oh tidings of comfort and joy, But not for all, Live feeds reveal it's all a lot of bull. |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 12:51 am     Musings on Big Brother 4 I dreamt we were all telepathic, And could understand without words. Speech was just so much static, So talking was for the birds. No more misunderstandings, It was empathy all down the line. No need to have armies handy, For war just died on the vine. You'd think that we'd all be ecstatic, As an assemblage of unified man, But it all became rather erratic, Because war erupted again. It's not really that much of a riddle, It was simply my silly mistake. There's only so much boring drivel, That the human mind can take! |
Demsome | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 08:11 pm     Bravo Beruthiel!!! Very good and funny! Also so right on the money. |

Beruthiel | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 03:30 am     Ooh, Thank you!  |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 10:32 pm     Self expression Just a brief nudge To prevent this short thread, From falling over the edge of the world. There will be few rhymes, Nor scansion of lines, Just the bump, or if you like, a boost. It's obvious to me That we'll rarely agree, On what poetry is or is not. But where Big Bro is concerned We have all fairly earned, The right to deep critical thought. It's fun to play 'Boring,' And very easy to 'Complain,' But I prefer 'Blank Verse' over most. |
