poetry break

topic posted Fri, February 20, 2004 - 1:02 AM by  Unsubscribed
I havent slept in three days cause tha house where I am staying while at the conference has a cat in heat. I am supposed to be couch surfing here, dont get a room of my own, just a space where the hippy's have been beat back for a week, i hope. forays into enemy territory.

So I havent slept and i am getting a bit ... cranky, if you'll excuse the pun.

in honor of the goddess poetry delivered to us by OGR:

I am nitequil
I should not be taken
before writing on the internet

I offer my own 'beat' poetry:

A CAT

A BAG

A STICK!

I am sure some of you lovebirds have something to share. OPEN UP OR SHUT UP!

      The goddess crap was courtesy of Nighthawk whoever the fuck she is. The nitequil portion, courtesy of my ex-boyfriend, reddjam. But thank you for your beat interpretation Wendt. I'm snapping my fucking fingers to it and everything.

          I shut a hippie up in the air
          And where he falls I do not care
          And if his soul the lord dost, after a visit to the dry cleaners, and a 24 hour wait,
          take,
          2 more spring up to protest the toxic hydrocarbon/soul plume spreading down Haight.

              wow, jaime, that was creative.

              have you ever thought of becoming a writer? I am sure that you could make enough money to continue yer heroin bat habit and keep yer merkin-mobile on the road. You could be flush in that dried cranberry granola that keeps you regular while resisting the tendiencies you have for bad yeast infections.

              really, you should be a poet. give us another one.

                  here's a classic from the old days:


                  THEY SAY THAT LAUREL CANYON
                  IS FULL OF FANCY STARS
                  BUT I HATE THEM WORSE THAN LEPERS
                  AND I KILL THEM IN THEIR CARS

                      Josh, it scares me that you knew about this site. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Suppose you stumbled upon it by accident. Damn hippie. All that talk about love burning. They have antibiotics for that kind of thing.

                        One Girl, I did NOT find that site by accident.

                        IMHO, Charlie is an example of everything that used to be great about hippies back in the day before all the 'peace and love' shit ruined the movement.

                        My favorite song by Charlie is 'The Eyes of the Dreamer'.

                        Read it again... and again... and again...

                          'garbage dump oh garbage dump, why are you called a garbage dump?'

                          but my fave manson family song is still the creepy one sung by the girls 'always is always forever...'

                          too bad he had to be such a nasty racist.

                        it may scare you more i knew most of the words without looking at the site. but that don't make me no stinkin hippy.

                        manson was a big favorite with us old school (read ancient decrepit school) punk rockers in the eighties around the time somebody re-released that album on vinyl. i've still got a copy on tape, i believe.

                          i just realized some might take my punk rock appreciation of manson as some sort of defense of josh knowing that website.

                          don't even. i mean if people are gonna think that, i take it back.

                    There once was a hippie named jerry
                    Who sang like a cat, it was scary
                    He’d fill up his monkey
                    And then he’d get funky
                    one monkey too funky to marry

                    so he ate ice cream and shot heroin
                    and now he's in hippie heaven
                    amen

                      Kandy, it's like five thirty in the morning and you are up on tribe.net. I think that it has become like crack for you too. We should hold hands and walk into the rehab together.

                                I don't get it. Ten people have looked at my profile in the last fifteen minutes. Who are these people? I feel like I'm having Seinfeld flashbacks. (not that there is anything wrong with that)

                                I'm sober as a judge - I'm just crazy and fucked all the time - i prefer to think of it as being 'highly evolved', but others prefer to call it crazy and hostile. Matter of fact, I got to go turn myself in tommorow morning at 10am for my weekly AA meeting - beats getting locked up in rehab again.

                            OGR, every utterance that journey's past the lips of your mouth is purest lyric, unabraided, and I am pleased to have them here.

                            Burley, my dearest silicone sister, whom I surely adore,
                            you are simple yet so subtle,
                            and your poetry has no flaws.

                            the rest of you yacking basterds,
                            who as of yet are uneducated and hopefully shamed,
                            youd be better off selling vegan burritos
                            at the jerry's crack and vericose vein
                            than post yer hippy blabber again here, in my poetry thread..

                            it is a form I acknolegede, and one i hold to be true,
                            you'll get cockpucnched here in a heart beat
                            if we take a disliking to you.

                              judith

                              Sat, February 21, 2004 - 4:01 AM
                              gosh i like this poem:

                              the holy bible tells how the seduc-
                              tive judith feasted Holofernes, winner
                              of the late bloody war. They finished dinner,
                              she doused the lights. He, leering at his luck,
                              leapt on her unresisting. Then she struck
                              his head off with a sword and cried: "Foul sinner,"
                              (His milk still frothing to the boil within her)
                              "Now you can find some blacker hole to fuck."

                              She heaved the head up in her lily hand,
                              Though it was heavy, horrible and gory,
                              and did a tour of triumph through the land.
                              I find two morals in this sacred story:
                              (a) Prove your faith by killing people and
                              (b) Be a bloody whore for heaven's glory.

                              no, i don't write sonnets, giuseppe belli wrote it and anthony burgess translated from the roman. no damn hippies here.
