Let's Write a Poem

[OlderWaterBrother]

Okay, here are the rules;

All odd numbered posts do not rhyme.

And all even numbered posts must rhyme with the odd numbered post above it.

The idea is to all get together and make an actual poem that kinda makes sense when you read it.



Here goes;



As I walked though the forest on that beautiful day

[GLENGLEN]

I Stubbed My Toe On A Mound Of Clay..




Cheers Glen.

[OlderWaterBrother]

It seems I had been distracted by

[GLENGLEN]

A Handsome Man I Think Is Gay.......Sigh..



Cheers Glen.

[OlderWaterBrother]

But later with my toe still sore

[GLENGLEN]

I Caught Up With.....And ..Did I Score..!!




Cheers Glen.

[OlderWaterBrother]

(Well, I guess that’s the end of that poem. I was kind of hoping we could do better than a bad limerick. Let’s try again.)

Here goes:
I hopped a freight train out of town, looking for my past

[dollydagger]

grabbed my guitar and split outta town real fast

[OlderWaterBrother]

I was hoping my fingers could find the songs I needed

[OlderWaterBrother]

You know, the songs of old that we once heeded

[dollydagger]

Sittin on the train, watching the land roll by

[FlyingBurritoBro]

Staring into the union of earth and sky.

[OlderWaterBrother]

Thinking and wondering about my life and what's to come

[FlyingBurritoBro]

Strumming on my six-string as we rumble toward the sun.

[dollydagger]

When the train runs out of tracks

[OlderWaterBrother]

Honey, just hold my hand and relax

[bobblebrain]

Sit down with me and eat an orange

[OlderWaterBrother]

Life doesn’t always have to feel so strange

[OlderWaterBrother]

I know, let’s run away from this foreign Land

[dollydagger]

come on, baby, and take my hand

[OlderWaterBrother]

Together, we'll find a land where it's natural to live and love

[FlyingBurritoBro]

Tremendous pimple on the end of my nose

[OlderWaterBrother]

(Nice try flyingburritobro, but the rule for the game is even posts are suppose to rhyme with the odd posts and nose and love don't rhyme. Try again: )

Together, we'll find a land where it's natural to live and love

[FlyingBurritoBro]

The lamb with the lion. The eagle and the dove...

[rebelfight420]

I accidetly ate my one true love

[crummyrummy]

and now my bowels, they wish to move....

[rebelfight420]

Out of my cylinder groove

[Rock Hard]

All dark and shiney, and really smooth

[OlderWaterBrother]

And I wonder what has brought us here

[Rock Hard]

It may be something that we all fear,

[OlderWaterBrother]

Or it may just be loneliness

[crummyrummy]

or maybe flat beer

[gesone]

That accumulated with your absence

[OlderWaterBrother]

Besides the bottles are worth 5 cents

[gesone]

In most states it seems

[Geonagual]

roses are red
violets are blue
this thread is way off topic
I think the grilled cheese made me sick

[edenfield]

sick cheese buds
grills spectrum thoughts
off topic, this thread is the way....

[J311Mann]

i studder-stepped, pump faked, and did a turnaround fadeaway j.

[szeretlek8]

seeing how death would find me in may

[OlderWaterBrother]

What in the world are we talking about, I must say.

[GLENGLEN]

.................

[Rock Hard]

It should be every even post ryming with the odd....hey?

[OlderWaterBrother]

And now it seems like someone bothered to read the rules

[OlderWaterBrother]

Now doesn't that make the rest of us feel like fools

[Rock Hard]

It seems that some posters just do their own thing

[OlderWaterBrother]

Your words do have a truthful ring

[OlderWaterBrother]

Some how this reminds me of the Princess Bride, when Vizzini said;
no more rhyming and I mean it!

[Rock Hard]

So take that dirty movie and clean it.

[J311Mann]

clean it the best you know how..

[Rock Hard]

Use water, alcohol or the milk from a cow.

[J311Mann]

perhaps a thimble, some bread, and a ball of clay..

[OlderWaterBrother]

A horse to ride and we're on our way

[crummyrummy]

Over horizon and towards the dawn

[OlderWaterBrother]

This is yesterday's tomorrow coming on

[J311Mann]

We strive for greatness and lots of luck

[bekyboo52]

with many lovers to...run amuck
(didnt say what u thought i would, eh?)

[Rock Hard]

Soft and subtle and made of glass

[OlderWaterBrother]

reflecting the myriad blades of grass

[szeretlek8]

holding the rituals of ecstasy en masse

[OlderWaterBrother]

While I slowing drink my demitasse

[OlderWaterBrother]

Turning my gaze off into the distance

[gesone]

round and round it becomes persistent

[BBAD]

Until the day we hear our fate...

[OlderWaterBrother]

Wondering if it's too late.

[BBAD]

to change our ways and pay our penance

[farmout]

just wondering how to finish this sentence....:-)

[OlderWaterBrother]

Could it be that life's too hard?

[BBAD]

or that some of us have no regard

[OlderWaterBrother]

For all the beauty that surrounds us

[BBAD]

and the fallen autumn leaves

[farmout]

fill the forest with a colorful carpet....:-)

[BBAD]

and a wonderfull falltime breeze..

[BBAD]

The poem was eagerly renewed

[BBAD]

In the hopes that more would play

[BBAD]

because this game was a real gem

[BBAD]

I really love it.....I must say

[farmout]

wings in flight to warm southern bays...:-)

[BBAD]

as the weather turns foul we prepare for winters days

[farmout]

all the while hoping summer will stay....:-)

[stalk]

but it won't.
A dark cloud looms over head.

[OlderWaterBrother]

Still I must say, the only rule, is even posts should rhyme the odd

[stalk]

well run, you monkey, go tell todd

[BBAD]

or complain to Skip...or notify a Mod

[OlderWaterBrother]

Well rhymed, you old drunken sod

[OlderWaterBrother]

Only one rule on this thread exists…that even posts rhyme with the odd posts before…unless you have another suggestion? ;)

[BBAD]

The rules made sense..now I understand,stupidity is one my traits..along with a posting obsession;)

[OlderWaterBrother]

Actually my "suggestion" rhymed with your "question", till you deleted it but now thanx to the edit of your above post, it follows the rule and rhymes with the post above it.

[BBAD]

If it happens again..kick me in the rear bucket...or tear me a new one..or tell me to shove it

[OlderWaterBrother]

Now, now, let's not get carried away or nothing

[BBAD]

Lets both get drunk,and cruise the streets looking for a little Somethin' Somethin'

[OlderWaterBrother]

Now you're talking, let's hit the road

[stalk]

Now you're talking, let's hit the road

And To the Road! We found a Toad!

[neodude1212]

and what with this toad, exactly should we do?

[stalk]

the toad leaped up and proclaimed PLEASE SIR TIE MY SHOE

[neodude1212]

a proclamation to which I most instinctively replied...

[stalk]

You're the one!
You're the one!
You're the one that died!!!!

[neodude1212]

I knew it was you! You were there in my dreams!

[stalk]

The little bastard murks and screams

[neodude1212]

as he jitters with trepidation, we begin to feel guilt....

[stalk]

as he sits his ass down and starts sewing a quilt.

[neodude1212]

gazing into the quilt, I feel the colors glazing my eyes..

[stalk]

and as I look in I'm awestruck in surprise!

[neodude1212]

it seems that this toad, is magical indeed...

[stalk]

I think it's telepathically asking me if I have any weed?!

[neodude1212]

in exchange for a lick, I decided to share..

[stalk]

all the little nuggets I could afford to spare.

[neodude1212]

So on our way we went, high as a kite..

[stalk]

I almost couldn't walk, I was blinded by the light

[neodude1212]

the voices became so loud, I cringed and stuttered

[stalk]

a diamond, the krishmeel, amohanafu, she muttered.

[neodude1212]

turning to the light, my eyes slowly adjusted to see...

[stalk]

a raw sort of power, surging and sizzling through me

[neodude1212]

"This light", I said, "This is more than just dope..."

[stalk]

it's balancing on the tip of some galactic kaleidoscope

[neodude1212]

and at the end of that 'scope, I surely did find..

[stalk]

a slaphappy sonofabitch analyzing my mind

[neodude1212]

his constitution was green, he looked back with 9 eyes..

[stalk]

and warped xylophones rained down from the skies

[neodude1212]

I latched onto a couple, and began playing some tunes..

[stalk]

on the outskirts of mind, in the wind, on the dunes

[neodude1212]

through the meadows and fields, my lovely melody was heard..

[stalk]

when suddenly swooped down a fucking gigantic bird

[neodude1212]

there was blood on his talons, and a gleam in his eye..

[stalk]

squawking Don't you forget, fellas!
Eat shit and die!

[neodude1212]

I woke up in my bed, my hair matted with sweat..

[BBAD]

that was one of those dreams I'd struggle to forget

[farmout]

time never waits for those who regret....:-)

[BBAD]

Only each PAIR of posts should rhyme,or did you forget

[BBAD]

Those other players aren't just good,they are great

[stalk]

so I sat down next to my laptop and began to masturbate.

[BBAD]

back and forth...up and down

[stalk]

shoot that stuff right through the crown

[BBAD]

let it fly ..let it flow

[stalk]

Plant that shit, yeah, let it grow

[BBAD]

high and tall,like a mirrored tower

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

bits and spits, like every hour.

[BBAD]

then flops down flacid..and looks to the earth

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

from the sight of that woman, who is giving birth.

[BBAD]

she cries and howls as the pain persists

[stalk]

while the doctors grin and drink the cysts

[BBAD]

The alien slipped out and fell to the floor

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

screaming, and pushing, and out popped more.

[stalk]

The Whole Room Was Glowing, I Reached For My Gun

[BBAD]

realised they were my kin,and became comfortably numb

[farmout]

All the while looking nervously at the nude girl sitting in the corner with a rose in her hair....:-)

[BBAD]

until I noticed her mustache,and suggested she use Nair

[farmout]

but her smile won him over, now he is totally smitten....:-)

[Face Eater]

and her name was "George" which was utterly fittin'

[BBAD]

George from Australia...on the other side of the world

[Face Eater]

Far from home and lonely and longing to be held.

[BBAD]

I grabbed georges head and we achieved a mindmeld

[OlderWaterBrother]

Our minds must have been smoking, cause something smelled

[BBAD]

it smelled of rotten cheese..with a hint of burnt toast

[OlderWaterBrother]

And it made me hungry for a bit of pot roast

[BBAD]

but all I had was a tub of cottage cheese

[snake_grass]

but all I had was a tub of cottage cheese

and this little boy came up to me and asked me if he can have some please

[BBAD]

I said no...go get your own you little bugger

[snake_grass]

I said no...go get your own you little bugger

then he got mad and walked away towards his sister with a bludgeoning stick and clubed her

[BBAD]

he was attacked by bystanders ....and paid dearly for his rage

[Face Eater]

(I just realised that world only rhymes with held in an Australian accent, sorry)

His soul became frail so he sought out a sage.

[HushBull]

As he relinquished his body, then turned the page

[Face Eater]

the spirit of god made itself known though scripture

[OlderWaterBrother]

Once again I wonder, if scripture only rhymes with page in an Australian accent

[Face Eater]

Once again I wonder, if scripture only rhymes with page in an Australian accent

Yes, another genius in the form games thread. The "age" sound has been used already in the last 4 threads. I thought it was time we changed it and put some structure back into the poem.

Moving on.....

and the heavenly angels blessed him with holy tincture....

[snake_grass]

then he fell off the cloud



to return to the world a man true to his word and proud

[BBAD]

from the heavens and beneath the earth

[OlderWaterBrother]

Actually it doesn't take a genius to read the simple rule of the game that even posts should rhyme with the odd above it and without that rule of rhyme, then of rhymes this poem might have a dearth.

[OlderWaterBrother]

To change a rhyme just post two posts, it's easy just try it

[OlderWaterBrother]

Now I wonder, why for so long, to this thread no one has come to visit?

[BBAD]

because it seems ,some are strange,and use the games forum to sling shit

[OlderWaterBrother]

I quess that's true, sad though it seems, but some people are just full of it!

[BBAD]

and the tides turn,as they wash away the dirt

[OlderWaterBrother]

And with it goes all the falsely imagined hurt

[BBAD]

a new day is born,and the Sun appears on a distant horizon

[OlderWaterBrother]

And have you heard, the people have received their promised white bison!

[BBAD]

but they butcher it up....and gather round for a feast

[Face Eater]

and when the sun rises, they look to the east.

[OlderWaterBrother]

only to be blinded by the sun

[BBAD]

and to their surprise...the Sun suddenly is none

[OlderWaterBrother]

Then they said so much for sun worship

[BBAD]

..lets pray to the stars...or even better....the Moon

[Face Eater]

and lest god hears us and delivers the poon....

[BBAD]

whiite poon and black poon..it doesn't really matter

[Face Eater]

Its not even an issue if the girls are slightly fatter

[BBAD]

big ones ,little ones,wide loads and twiggies

[Oneness]

Alas I sit, on my ass, and will never score, I feel like Beavis, from Beavis and Butthead

[OlderWaterBrother]

With a name like Beavis, I can see why, you'd be better off feeling like a Fred

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

you guys are terrible poets.. lol.

[BBAD]

With a name like Beavis, I can see why, you'd be better off feeling like a Fred

And I believe I've received my answer ...to why this thread was left for dead:D

[Face Eater]

alas face eater is here to remedy this fact

[BBAD]

Faceeater writes his rhymes on toilet paper...like Jack Kerouac

[Face Eater]

Then seeing their contrivedness, I use them to wipe my bottom

[BBAD]

then i used my artistic talents,to make funny porn pictures of Hillary Rodham

[OlderWaterBrother]

Then I turned my talents to her daughter Chelsea

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

who needed only but to pee

[BBAD]

and the hordes of horny men came running

[OlderWaterBrother]

To see lovely women just a sunning

[BBAD]

but they couldnt believe the sight....when they rounded the bend

[ShanaBanana]

Hillary had a plug up her rear-end.

[BBAD]

it was attached to a string ....and tied to a door

[Funkateer]

And with one hard fling That bitch Gave a ROARRR!

[Face Eater]

and with its ejection came an explosion of poo...

[BBAD]

and a super ejaculation as I screamed YAHOO

[OlderWaterBrother]

Now I wonder what could possibly be next

[BBAD]

just drivel .....and incohesive pseudo-pornographic text

[OlderWaterBrother]

Then let's start fresh and anew with a song in our heart

[BBAD]

ok..let me just roll over a bit ....and let out a huge fart

[OlderWaterBrother]

Now, how did I know that was the rhyme you'd use?

[BBAD]

because Im a joker at heart...my tender side is a ruse

[OlderWaterBrother]

Then hail, hail the joker in us all

[crummyrummy]

who glued that poor shopper in the home depot stall

[OlderWaterBrother]

And who shouted out, who killed the Kennedys?
after all it was you and me!

[gesone]

Indeed it was we!
How else will people clearly see?

[BBAD]

with glasses and contacts...paid for with medical plans

[OlderWaterBrother]

That way we can better watch the hourglass, run out of sands

[BBAD]

to each one his turn....some journeys are short..and some longer

[Dagaz]

All is made ready, check me hair, and even me donger

[BBAD]

what in the world was that?? said the little man

[Dagaz]

Thar she blows, and cometh yonder young star fan

[BBAD]

it was a weird day in the hipforumland

[OlderWaterBrother]

Ain't that the truth, said the magician as he waved his hand

[BBAD]

and out popped a rabbit from his tophat

[OlderWaterBrother]

Also, out popped the buzzard and the oriole and that’s that

[BBAD]

they flew up high....and into the clouds

[Dagaz]

to get away.......the music being too loudzzz (lisp)

[BBAD]

but a plane went by....and sent them off course

[OlderWaterBrother]

Which made them wonder, how to get to the source

[BBAD]

they followed their instincts ....and headed due south

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

they stopped and squatted, and put stuff in their mouth(s)

[BBAD]

they swallowed and swallowed.....because they couldnt chew

[i_was_in_shroom_land]

they waited and waited, and went to go poo.

[BBAD]

they aimed for hippies....and fancy black cars

[Dagaz]

They found the hippies...and smoked to the stars

[BBAD]

howled at the moon and talked to the moose

[Dagaz]

And really got on the neighbors goose.

[BBAD]

but nobody cared ...because the neighbors are jerks

[Dagaz]

wearing ties, watches, and silly quirks

[BBAD]

they look like aliens and dance like turkeys

[Dagaz]

and they were busy hanging up there jerkeys

[BBAD]

they hunted with spotlights and broke all the rules
