drunken poem

FUCK
like a river flowing down from the mountain
FUCK
like a comet blasted by solar wind
FUCK
like a trickle that erodes away the earth
FUCK
like the sun that brings life into the world


FUCK
like the man with passion in his heart
FUCK
like the woman with complexities sans limit
FUCK
like a child with imagination so roaring
FUCK
like the plant photosynthesizing in the light


FUCK
like the waste that spews from the human
FUCK
like the horse that makes it around the bend
FUCK
like the simile that comprises this whole poem
FUCK
like the words that mingle in your heartbeat


FUCK
like it's the last day
FUCK
like it's a new day
FUCK
like it's the new age
FUCK
like there's no age


FUCK
for your forgiveness
FUCK
in front of your saints
FUCK
around the beat-bush
and FUCK
your life away

a drunken poem, by me

 

I'm unsure of what reaction you were going for with this, but as soon as it opened on my screen I smiled huge. And kept smiling (I think there was a laugh in there somewhere too) as I read through it. Then I read it again.

I like it.

:cheers: Did you already know I was going to say that?

 

maybe


it's a different kind of poem for me

1) because i'm drunk, and i don't normally do drunken poetry

2) because i picked a subject and simile-ified it

 

I don't think I've ever written a poem drunk.

I understand my good buddy Poe found much joy in that during his stay at Fort Monroe, unfortunately, we find him face down in the streets of Baltimore, years later. My assumption is that Poe started smoking opium and eating hash instead of drinking so much.

I really can't say about Shakespeare. I know they found a pipe with THC and all the matches for the compounds and such in cocaine...

 

Horray for your drunkness!

 

either way, i think it's a neat poem


hopefully i don't end up face down in a gutter though

 

i like it..reminds me of a poem i wrote a long time ago..

 

I second this.

 

I've drawn a few pictures hi before, but I'm lucky to be able to sit up straight when I'm drunk. Btw, I'm about to post some of my artwork on here in a couple of days, so all you artists be lookin out for my stuff!
*Also, the poem reminds me of how most ppl are these days.....can't go an entire sentence without dropping the "F" bomb in there somewhere!*
