Guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 A man came up to me and said,"I'd like to sing you a song,I wrote it myself this morning,And the number of syllables in each line necessary for a consistent meter is wrong." I turned around, I tried to run,But found I was too late.The stench of the poem alreadyHad made my friend irate For he was an English majorAnd called it terribleAnd not just for forced rhymes that madeNo sense in Istanbul It had no value I could see,The whole thing? Just cliche,Nothing I had not seen beforeA million times today And yet it outshone all poems onA forum I frequent,Where, for attention, piles of wordsAre now every day spent: They say nothing and say it bad,Often dumb emo stuff,And dissolve into randomness,Your hair has much dandruff! So down with them, these ghastly things,Banish them from this place,Any mod that would write this trashShould get slapped in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problematica Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 This poem sums up just about every poem posted here so far to such a degree that it scares me.

Umbra wouldn't allow it; and they aren't Fan-Fics. Showcase? For graphical purposes only. General is the only place. Don't get me wrong; I hate all the poems posted here too. :/ Me being a moderator who writes poetry doesn't mean I need slapped in the face any more than anyone else.

Willieh Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 You people don't seem to understand the true meaning of this poem. " A man came up to me and said,"I'd like to sing you a song,I wrote it myself this morning,And the number of syllables in each line necessary for a consistent meter is wrong." I turned around, I tried to run,But found I was too late.The stench of the poem alreadyHad made my friend irate " This is clearly a very intricate metaphor describing the ways Drugs have affected his life. " For he was an English majorAnd called it terribleAnd not just for forced rhymes that madeNo sense in Istanbul It had no value I could see,The whole thing? Just cliche,Nothing I had not seen beforeA million times today" A slightly more complex metaphor describing how the drugs have altered his mind and destroyed his judgement. " And yet it outshone all poems onA forum I frequent,Where, for attention, piles of wordsAre now every day spent: They say nothing and say it bad,Often dumb emo stuff,And dissolve into randomness,Your hair has much dandruff!" I couldn't quite figure out what's being said in this one, but I assume it's a metaphor depicting the environment he finds himself in due to drug use. "So down with them, these ghastly things,Banish them from this place,Any mod that would write this trashShould get slapped in the face." Once again the "forum" metaphor is brought into play. He's clearly stating that his greatest desire is to extinguish his desires for drugs. Yet, he's all alone in trying to cure his self. This is truly a touching poem. I teared up while reading it.
