Post your impromptu poetry

[brentspeak]

Here's mine:

Sad though the falling stars there were,
Such joy by Love's hand did surface.
Gave rescue some heart's strickened-bird,
Felled by demons to the furnace.

[Guy Fawkes]

1. Hiku:

You are a wanker
Trust me on this one, I know
You are a wanker.

[brentspeak]

3. He who

He who cries "Wanker!"
Needs a good spanker

[Redneck Socialist]

2. The Red Sox have won.

The Red Sox have won.
The Yankees are losing big.
Life is looking good.

Howzat?

5. In 1918

In 1918
Was the last time they screamed
"Red Sox are world champs!"
Confined to old gramps

And now they rejoice -
A measly game they do foist
Upon our poor heads
Yankees win 'till they're dead.

Yankees win 'till they're dead.

[Redneck Socialist]

6. LOL! very nice...

Yanks ain't lookin' so good tonight though. Us sox fans find our momentary joy wherever we can.

[Briarius]

4. haiku attempt

I'm empty and full
walking through life confused
Thus I am complete

--I'm feeling illiterate tonight, is that the right form?

[brentspeak]

7. Sounds right

Yours' is 5-6-5 syllable. A bit unorthodox -- 5-7-5 is the orthodox -- but the poetry police would let you go.

8. thanks

thought it felt a bit off...close enough though

[Fovea]

9. A Villanelle for George the Lesser

The dais lifts you to the waiting throng
who swore an oath to cheer hypocrisy
a clacking toy is drawn behind a string.

Your second in command declares you wrong
You piss on science and morality
The dais lifts you to the waiting throng.

A drink, you muse, would be the very thing
to get your mouth around your policy
a clacking toy is drawn behind a string.

But through it all you pose and jape along
to slur the daily Rove mendacity
The dais lifts you to the waiting throng,
a clacking toy is drawn behind a string.


First draft, villanelle.
Draft time, approx 30min.

10. A Pagerku

It's late, but I'm here
Posting on DU again.
What, have I no life?
