OK this is perhaps a bad idea, letting some of us drop our pants. What the hell I'll start with one. I'd like to ask the criticizers to contribute one as well, unlikely as that may be. I'll start with a short and simple one. I haven't really written one seriously since 1993 I guess when I was 23 years old, so this is from long ago memory.

"Trust"

Fall blindly back against your racing fear
that it may hurt a lot because I may not be there

and as you fall exhilarated by your abandonment of fear
you will nearly hit the floor and I will catch you there

well hell, let me get my book out. I've got unfinished (and finished) songs that are so awful, I think about them and puke.

How about this piece of garbage.

the roller disco
roller party
rolls
round and round
I'm nauseous.

Henry is Hungry

Who is Henry? Well,
he's the loud, lumpish boy who likes chicken.
His voice reaches round corners,
and so do his belly and cheeks.

Ask him if he's hungry --
he'll throw his hands to the sky
like he's praising the Almighty
and bellow YES!

Feed him five whole chickens
and ask again - same result.
Yes, Henry is hungry.

To watch him eat puts one
in a contemplative mood:
at what cost does he sustain himself?
How many animals must perish?
And their deaths only give Henry power
so that more may die.

Ah Life, what a prankster you are!

Let's have more.

To show I'm not bigoted about which poetry thread is better i'll post this one here...it's from a (probably deservedly) deleted thread on the general discussion thread. It's called 'Big It.'

Hey there, little buddy, can ya dig it?
No matter how ya rig it
You're a rusted busted spigot,
A Maggotridden Bigot
And a wad.
You oughta be beneath a load a' sod.

Go twitch and bitch and fidget
Witcher baby weeny digit
With your buddies in your fav'rite bigot bar.
They'll lie to you and say that you'll go far.

Bored, abhorred, aboard a board you be
Paddle it the hell away from me
To the bottom of the bigot-drowning sea.
That's the only way you ever will be free.

the boy next door

the boy next door
likes a *beep*
butt does sometimes
like boning one more

(it's sort of a haiku, i'd say)

rainy Seoul

the rain falls in Seoul
sometimes
it's like my soul
never
it rains on my motorcycle
*beep* i hate this place...

scholarly *beep*

scholarly *beep* all you ever do
is get laid and complained
about how you never knew
that dude

scholarly *beep* i bet you never
read a book but you do
get laid
La-la-la scholarly *beep*
i hate your fuckin' guts
i wish you were dead
die you fuckin bitch.
