    A Tale of a Heroic Dog

    Introduction To Communication Systems is a textbook I used to use
    It's full of advanced math, diagrams, modulation schemes, and student abuse
    It's a really expensive hardcover volume, cover intact, not a page loose,
    A dog pissed on it.
    Yay!

    Ode to the knife
    Why you hurt me when I prep veggies
    all I wanted was to prep veggies without
    a scratch
    You changed all that
    When your knife cut into my skin
    Grandpa has cancer
    The dog hacked up again
    The grill is going
    I think someone is going to start a fire
    with those fireworks
    Something something something
    I think I filled in my run time

    Last week one of my characters lost it and wrote an ode to another character. I deleted it, hoping to erase the whole thing off my mind, but it keeps coming back to haunt me.

    "... invades my nights
    And lifts me to unknown heights."

    The rest is just as dreadful. I hope I could laugh it off eventually.

    This is the place to dump your dreadful haunting dreadfulness. Dig it up and post it here!

    I invoke the powers of Odin's Piss!

    Rhyme Tryme

    Milkshake on the board... walk.
    My hands covered in chalk.
    Skyscapes of the tough... bricks.
    My house building of wood.

    Where cushions are comfy, and straps hold firm.
    Burn a witch,
    Sell the chickens,
    Clean up aisle 5,
    Shave a spider,
    Run Forest, Run,
    And see how pretty,
    This poem is shitty
    :supergrin:

    Say it ain't so, just don't ask why
    I'm an onion, but no small fry
    If you cut me, I'll make you cry
    You won't bite me, let's see you try

    Gummy bears get in your gums
    It is hard to speak.
    They are gummy,
    And then in your tummy.

    a push a pull in the dead night
    is this the mighty pen of old
    sought by sages and fools alike
    bring forth the documents
    a writer's block forbids
    yet another page
    in the morning light
    if only it were not blank

    Hi, @TheNineMagi! I just thought I'd point out that you, being new around here, don't seem to have a grasp of what this thread is for. This thread is for BAD poetry, okay? Your poem is actually too good for this thread. This may be the only thread we have in which "You have too much talent" is considered a searing criticism.

    Try to stink more, okay?

    :) :D o_O

    lol, will try to do my worst:

    with a twinkle in the eye
    they thought they had it,
    in a moment they lost it all,
    as they watch it erase itself
    in just another illusion
    of a wisp of aether fading
    among the weeping willows.

    Dog shit is brown and sticky
    on your shoes it upsets the picky
    on your hands its kinda icky
    don't you hate it when the puppy poops blamange

    Dog shit is awful smelly
    wobbly like a jelly
    not the greatest on your welly
    don't you hate it when the puppy poops blamange

    I jumped out of my bed, huzzay!
    And went to leave my house.
    I thought lets play games all day.
    But wait, I hear a mouse.
    It turned out to be the door,
    making noises like a whore.
    It eeped and cracked on the beat,
    the wood expanded by the heat.
    It made an awful lot of noise,
    even louder than my
    sextoys!

    I have to wonder
    at the sound of thunder
    coming from my ass
    it was kinda silly
    to have so much chilli
    in my last repast

    I think this is actually quite a good humourous little poem. Not "bad" at all!

    and that is that
    she did exclaim
    and what it was
    no one knew
    and oh we wondered
    what to do
    and so it was
    for fools we were
    she surely knew
    we knew not
    taking glee
    in our demise
    and oh my, oh my
    what could we do
    when that is that

    Maybe like this:

    I jumped out of my bed, huzzay! - I got out of bed
    And went to leave my house. - Went to go out
    I thought lets play games all day. - A mouse can make noise
    But wait, I hear a mouse. - I went outside though
    It turned out to be the door, - I went out to go
    making noises like a whore. - Out because of mice?
    It eeped and cracked on the beat, - The door creaked noisily
    the wood expanded by the heat. - It was hot
    It made an awful lot of noise, - I forgot
    even louder than my - I was outside and thinking about sex again
    sextoys!

    You have too much of a consistency with "whore" and "sextoys", the sound of a mouse compared to the door, and the delightful rhythm of the line "It eeped and cracked on the beat". There is also a discernable rhythm to the whole piece even though it is broken up a bit. AND it has quite a clear narrative progression from getting out of bed to going outside.

    Basically a terrible attempt at being terrible! You should be ashamed!! haha!

    Alone
    At an empty table that seats at least seven
    I check the clock
    It's still ticking
    It's well past five. They said
    they were coming.
    But still I'm alone

    Fuck group projects,
    I'll do it myself.
