The Poetry Thread

30% of my final grade sounds like a pretty good reason.

 

No. You shouldn't be taking a class that requires such nonsense.

I took a poetry class once in college. It was 90% vagina. What's your excuse?

 

I did Alternative Fall Break one year because the trips were generally comprised of like 15 hot sorostitutes and a handful dudes who were either complete losers or just weren't into vagina. This was a market inefficiency ripe for exploration. And explore I did. Got head from one of the girls. Banged another. Boom!

ETA: to be clear, this happened after the trip was over. The aforementioned deeds would have been very difficult to pull off during the trip given that we stayed in the basement of a church.

 

I'm okay with poetry as long as it rhymes. Poetry that doesn't rhyme pisses me off.*


*Unless it's haiku poetry. Haiku poetry is awesome.

 

Kid Bourbon sucks [penis]
He loves hairy genitals
and gross, loose buttholes

 

Yes, that is a terrible poem. Well played.

 

It's a haiku.

 

Oh, it appears so.
Syllables were not counted.
Now I'm embarrassed.

 

I read the good stuff? You probably didn't.

Did you know poetry is a lot like sex?

 

I feel like you're setting up a joke here. I'll play along.

No, I didn't know poetry was a lot like sex.

 

Not a joke, just a poem. I had some trouble finding a link to it, but this should work. Might have to click play on it a couple times. It's called "Poetry Like Sex" by Carlos Andres Gomez

When it comes to poetry, "good" can only be used relatively.

 

It's been a while! All you super masculine men need some more of this shitty, homo poetry in your lives! Good thing I'm here.

"may i feel said he"

Roses are red
Violets are blue
And so are my balls

 

Is this thread real?

 

It most certainly is real! Got a new one for you guys. One of my favorites.

He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

William Butler Yeats

 

One of my favorites.

 

Wtf?

 

I wrote a major grade English essay on e.e. cummings. Always found him to generate deep thinking.
