In high school, I once wrote a sonnet about how I resented poets. _Ikselam\\ Aha, found it.
- Prologue
- This sorry sonnet that you see
- Is my best attempt at poetry;
- Once you scan it I suppose
- You'll see why I favour prose.
- Poet Envy
- How grand to be a poet, able to
- Make the ordinary seem sublime,
- And do so with no more than a few
- Well-chosen words and an occasional rhyme.
- How wonderful to have others think one's
- Soul is full of beauty and thoughtfulness
- Simply because one can find the words for
- Things which others feel, but cannot express.
- Yes, we normal folk do not stand a chance
- Against a poet, when it comes to romance.
- Epilogue
- A pox upon sonnets and poems,
- A plague upon meter and rhyme;
- Nothing anyone says will convince me
- That they aren't a waste of my time.
- Others perhaps may find pleasure
- In composing a couplet or verse;
- I find such a pastime unpleasant
- (I can't think of a torture much worse).
Glorious. I once made a poem for class by randomly inserting line breaks in a Yahoo! news page, as a statement of some sort. I'm more partial to double dactyls, myself*:
- Slashingly smackingly
- Geoffry Grabowski
- Wrote up a book full of
- Charms, called Exalted
- A man of the church of
- Asskickiology,
- My normal life since has
- Damn all but halted.
~Jabberwocky\\ * Limericks too, but I won't even start with those. Isaac Asimov has some hilariously filthy books full of them, if anyone's in to that sort of thing.
Wow, this is one of the most amusing wiki pages I have read to date. :) ElephantPunch comes to mind as a competitor. -- DaveFayram
