Just because I have always loved to read other people's poetry, I have created this thread to allow anyone who feels like it to show off their own poetic wares.I won't comment on them or anything of the lie, unless you specifically ask for my honest opinion (in which case, time permitting, I'll gladly offer my personal critique~~ being a Creative Writing Master's student, I have to do that kind of thing weekly, so I've got lots of practise!).So indulge me, folks...Expose your sweet poetic sides. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">

There once was a Canadian stripper
Whose ideas could never be hipper
His toon made some ripples
For having no nipples
And nothing behind any zipper!Whatcha think Damonk? <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/eek.gif"> Time for a zipper check!------------------

Coffee brought the Dervish to trance
Tobacco gave the Tribe a line to god
Wine was communion, and whisket the water of lifeTaboos were in place not only to protect
from wrong-doing,
But to protect from uing the divine too casually,
For, as it always turns out,
The divine rebels against being so used

I liken myself to a pool table,
For I too, have felt.(Heh, how much do I like bad hippy poetry)

There once was a man from Nantucket...
What's that?
This poem doesn't work here, at Framed?
To me, you say,
For shame, for shame.------------------

One day, I stopped by Framed!!!!
and saw that it was famed.
I then went on a tour,
of its archives so dijour.
My laughter could not stop,
as I sat at my laptop.
The nippless freak,
was so unique
I had to look no more.I really couldn't help it,
though I really had to shit!!!
I stayed some more,
laughed from my core,
Framed Became a HIT!!!!

The olde man sings
of many things
from anguish to sunlight and joy.The child doth sing
tho he one day be king.
For now he is just a boy.The wolf doth well howl,
tho some think it foul,
he tells of the beauty of life.A woman doth mourn
those still unborn
for whom birth only brings strife.The artist doth say,
"When the pain goes away
this bottle I leave behind."The child doth sleep
someday wilt he weep
for the thing that he lost was his mind.A life in a day
goeth only one way
as it ends too hastily quick.Tho my life, some will say,
was a life and a day,
I thank the gods for that small trick.
Sorry if I brought you down. I just made this up right here. I tap an emotional vein and stuff just pours out.------------------
Between birth and death there is confusion. <A HREF="http://hellsweethell.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>Hell Sweet Hell</A>'s confusion. Oh the stench of it.

umm... let's see...There once was a yokel named Enus
Who had a remarkable penis.
pulled his zipper up fast
his wife was aghast
as his weiner sailed toward venus.
or maybe this one...There once was a guy I called funky
whose friends all knew him as Spunky
if you asked him why
he'd probably cry
"they once caught me spanking my monkey"------------------
Whatever else happens, I've had a <A HREF="http://hellsweethell.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>Hell</A> of a time.

I enjoy limericks, so don't worry...The word sonnet is also an English invention, though not a very popular one just yet... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">

The village smithy sat
Amusing himself
By abusing himself
And dropping his load in his hat.------------------
