Hello everyone.
Since I enjoy both reading and writing poetry I thought I'd create a thread dedicated to poetry and the art of the written word.
There are a few sections to this thread, as you can see below.


QUOTE OF THE WEEK

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Mark Twain


LYRIC OF THE WEEK

We are very rare.
Childish Gambino, U Don't Have To Call [Album: STN MTN]


@POET[size=x-large]'s POEMS[/size]

1) '@FeaR'
Never @FeaR,
@Poet his here,
Not wishing for you to shed a tear,
He hopes that you've had a great year,
Sitting here sipping on Belvedere.

Oh what's this?
A sudden reappear!
But only to tell you that this poem is immensely sincere;
And with great revere for your reputation here,
You're awesome.

2) 'Cat-astrophe'
Oh!
My cat,
Why won't you die?
You're twenty-two,
Going on one-hundred-and-five.

You do nothing,
But sit around all day.
A chicken is more active,
And all it does is lay!

I remember you as a kitten,
All cuddly and soft.
I did love you,
We used to play in the loft.

But now look at you,
All knackered and old.
I would be quite happy,
If you just dissolved!

It may sound harsh,
But upsettingly true.
I don't think anyone would really want
A cat quite like you.

I have just come home
And found you dead.
Hmm - I wonder...
How else can I use your bed?

A dog would be nice.

'The Tale of My Swaggy Moderator Admin' by @Random

It began on a swaggy Tuesday morning:
I was the most zSexy Moderator around,
He was the most swaggy Moderator.

He was my Admin,
My swaggy Admin,
My Moderator.

We used to spam so well together,
Back then.
We wanted to ban together, around the world,
We wanted it all.

But one morning, one swaggy morning,
We decided to ban too much.
Together we banned Rey.
It was lonely, so lonely.

From that moment our relationship changed.
He grew so smelly.

And then it happened:

Oh no! Oh no!

He scammed that kid.
Alas, that kid!
My Admin scammed that kid.
It was funny, so funny.

The next day I thought my account had broken,
I thought my friend had burst into flames,
(But I was actually overreacting a little.)

But still, he is in my thoughts.
I think about how it all changed that morning,
That swaggy Tuesday morning.

My heart... ouch!
When I think of that swaggy Moderator,
That swaggy Moderator and me.

rest in peace.

'Monsterman & the Tinkertoys, A Shakesperian Sonnet' by @Cann!bal+
I recently escaped the delusion;
I realized the miscreation's ploy.
He cast a spell on me, an illusion.
He the headman, I, a tinkertoy boy.
Nurture hampers the tinkertoys' brilliance.
We compete to see who is the best drone.
Effort reflected, not intelligence.
We are processed and sent to the workzone.
Life's essentials are neglected detail.
We know not how to love our heart's desire.
Worthwhiles howbeit beyond the pale.
We know not how to cede, we are haywire.
The monsterman wants to eat me tonight.
At the foot of my bed, unto twilight.


 
I wrote a Ballad the other day, would that suffice? @poet

Most definitely! PM me I'm looking forward to reading it.
 
Here's a Shakespearean sonnet I wrote a while back.

Incredible, really incredible. I read that the monsterman was the education system and tinkertoys were pupils. That's immensely clever. Good job, really.
