Today's Poem

[Portmanteau]

White people who want to be black,
Surround me.

Doesn't a poem have to be longer than two lines?

Have no opinion on your 'poem' either way.

It's got potential.

There's no structural rules for poems...

Can think of at least one Ezra Pound poem with only 2 lines.


As for the original poem... err... well done... I think.

Ezra Pound? Yes I know him.

I realize this but I think this is more than a poem.. hmmm.

I agree with the point but we all gravitate to those who look like us and we tend to wonder about those who are different.

I dunno. Just pretend you are the opposite of what you are for a day? It doesn't make sense but at least think about it.

In other words... black or brown hair, brown skin... think white, if you have blonde hair and blue eyes just think of the opposite.

It isn't totally possible but at least perhaps with all of us talking we can get someone to imagine the other side.

Leave me outta that crap. My purposes only.

Some strange threads today, even for BF standards.

Today, I saw a dog,
Yes, a dog.
Talking to a pig,
Yes, a pig.
They were on the pavement,
Discussing Trotsky.
Not brotsky or crotsky or drotsky or frotsky.
But Trotsky.

 

[Katthawk]

I saw a dag but does that constitute me envisaging constructing a bloody poem in his/her honour?

I think not.

At least bring substance into it rather than bland sexism, racism or homophobia.

(It is all an idea in advance)

You want poetry? Check out my footy tipping haikus on the AFL board. I had *way* too much time on my hands today...

 

[Bomber Spirit]

Oh freddled gruntbuggly
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop I implore thee my foonting turlingdromes.
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
see if I don't!

 

[Mr. Snrub]

The Hawks won tonight.
My haiku tipping tactic
Is working so far.

 

[Streaker]

Seen on the wall of a toilet

When I was a little girl
I had a little whim
I used to pull my panties down
And stick one finger in

Now that I am older
And have lost my charm
It's four fingers and a thumb
And half my blooody arm
