Bad Poetry

[Mindstone]

here you can flex you poetic brilliance in the form of poetic poverty.
I shall begin with the highly unacclaimed:

The Superlative detective

The room is dark
(like a demons soul with the lights turned off)
Off on, Off on, like a shaky relationship
Isabella screams like a screamer doped up on skunkweed
.....The battleship comes to the harbour.....
Guns blazing, (like a red navy blue sweatshirt)
Im the captain, at least until I wake up again
No....No baby, you just sunk the Bismarck

Standing alone in my office
(it's official)
The blinds turn ahead, like magpie's circling a phone booth
(ring ring) Like my heart on vacation......a long vacation
Finally I reach my goal
The fountain of everlasting youth
(sup sup from it)
I drink up and drink quick, the Giant Wasps are coming

End

O.K. here's one of mine. Not quite in the same vain as the last.

The Phoenix

Destiny is my carrion crow
And fate has struck it's mortal blow
Picking skin and flesh from bone
Closing my account and cancelling my loan

Carries me on wings black as iron
Dropping me into the jaws of the lion
Fleeting high above the town
Showing me the place where I fell down

But my past I'll not renounce
It strengthen me slowly ounce on ounce
A mirror of my soul's reflection
The pontoon of metric heat resurrection

Gives me passion to rise again
Heals my mind and heart's sweet pain
Now destiny is still my carrion crow
But my will is destiny's hammer blow

Marianne

Marianne, Marianne
You were meant to be
Part of the plan
And I to be your man
A man of hope
And faith

Marianne, Marianne
The films and the happy times
The poems the
Jolly rhymes
And there the stacatto
Thuds
(in your perfect symphony)

Oh Marianne Oh Marianne
It is time to consumate
And time to procreate
Do you take it up the arse?
I hope so
Or I am
Gone

Marianne oh Marianne
Finally let me say
That I am the Tiger
(which is actually a metaphor for a Lion)
And that the asian pussbeetle
Is only twice as long
As our love
Our forever
Undying
Love
(did you leave the hoover on again you stupid bitch)

This is a poem dedicated to planescape torment. If you can stomach the rhymes then you are a stronger person then most.


Those Crazy Dusties

Walking through the mortuary with a floating skull
Waiting to avoid the dusties, dusties for the cull
Ive got a sharpened scalpel, it should fit the bill
And ive just seen a dustie, movin' in for the kill

Girl you got my numba, collect us off the street
You've got a tail on your arse, and boots on your feet
Red hair that flames, fiery fire in the night
If I call you a slag, I'll get into a fatal fight

Into the bar, where the flaming man spins
Speaking to a Gith, tied to me he never wins
He's blade shimmers, and is black like his small eye's
He's my companion but not my friend, till my demise

So we leave together and go to find my fate
Ive got to find my mortality before its too late
This fight ill never give up, no i'll never forwent
The pain and misery of my eternal torment

Now Ive found Ravel im glad im not on my own
Her nose is sharp and pointy, like a typical crone
Ive entered a place where portals travel away
But shes turned on me, but i have the informa(y) (tion)

Journey on now, keep on going on all fours
Passed Fhjuill Forktongue, and into dark Baa'tor
Where the pillar of skulls, groans and creeks
And where minions of evil, creeps and sneaks

I got my information, Regret is the key
But Trias the Betrayer caused me misery
He was a fallen angel, Who was voiced by Q
He looks rather Homosexual, i dont know what to do

So i follow my instincts and take him to fight
I believe in power, right always make might!
Now i have my answer, now its time to go
Now I have the power, the seeds i shall sow

Its funny that my path was back at the start
I followed it with fury, the fury of my heart
My friends all followed me, one by one we saw the clocks
Morte made a joke, about changing our sweaty socks

Finally I faced him, after destroying my alter ego's
They never had a chance, for i was more resourceful (this I know)
And now mortality come and bond with me
I deserve my death, ive waited an eternity

And now.......the end

I know my name, and my fate is

Sealed
