Posted: 7/30/2004 7:48:45 PM | Goth! What's going on? As much as I love your poetry, the words are tainted with pain. Doing okay these days?
Now I feel extra dirty for putting this one here, trying to follow the Dark Mistress of Fine Wordings....sorry Goth. It's my calling:
=================
A Stunted Toilet Brush
I've had this toilet brush
For well on five years
It's been through more
Than I would ever want to
Though there's no real variety
In it's working days
Much like mine
I broke the handle the other day
And it's literally half
It's former self
My hand is four inches closer
To the bristles
That have scrubbed away so much
It's like a roommate now
I can't throw it away
But when I use it
My hands smell funny
And are suspect
Maybe I'll wait until
It's stunted handle
Breaks again
And then I'll decide it's fate
=================
There we go. I feel better. It's like a sneeze, that kind of poetry.
I must go, but I'll be back. | |

Posted: 7/31/2004 10:18:57 AM | Hello, all. Man, I love weekends. I really love long weekends. Three days of bliss and joy away from the paperwork playground. Yippeee!!!
Greetings to Charlene. Welcome to the tangled jungle that is this forum and an especial thanks from me for making this thread your first stop. I guess I am friendly to all, but I eat a lot and my smell is absolutely indescribable.
Zee...always a joy to have you here. Hope you don't mind, but I read your poem and a title sprung to my mind: Oscar the Grouch's Lament. Sorry, it was the first thing that popped in my mind....hope it wasn't an autobiographical poem...
Well, judging from your "big smile because tis sunny outside and in lol", you must be feeling as renewed and refreshed as I am.
So...here's my dribbling of the day:
==============================
A Tale of Two Refrigerator Shelves
The door is closed
The light is off
Butter in the fridge
Cheese right beside it
Milk conspiring nearby
With the Coke
I really don't know
What's going on
In there.
Lettuce has a mind of
It's own
Rolling with the
Organic broccoli
Who has no mind
Of it’s own
Yoghurt is self contained
Held by an expiry date
Alone with it's
Payload of fruit
The beer, three bottles worth
Is s shrine unto itself
It’s the only thing replaced
With certainty.
=====================
Am I obsessed with my fridge? Well, yes. I see it everyday and I peer into its innards in the hope of not finding anything too disgusting. Usually I get what I want from it. Usually.
Well, tomorrow then. | |

Posted: 7/31/2004 11:43:39 PM | goat you have such a way with words!...lol....liked the toilet brush poem....had to laugh at that one!......
I wanna thank you for askin how I'm doin, and I have written another poem to give me some input on that!......
Charlene I would like to welcome you to to the jungle!.......glad to have you here with us!....
The hate that has been
set before me
makes my heart turn
cold for he
He can never unmask
the gloom he has done
for in the end
I will be number one!
Let him sit with the curse
of these words today
for he is the nothing
that will never get in my way | |

Posted: 8/1/2004 10:03:40 AM | Morning all. Feeling a little out sorts again, no big deal. A little biking and reading and I'll get through it. But, today's spontaneous poem reflects my mood as of this minute. We'll see how it turns out and I'll apologize later:
=================
A Grey Sunday Ramble
I tried to horp a zook
As fast as light could take me
I examined the properties
Of each minutiae of each
Itty bit
And I still could not understand
Even women are easier to get
As I poke my way, blind
Through a maze of algorithm
A mass of instructions
A wad of procedure
And I lose appreciation
For the small bliss of
Mathematical computation
But when you compare an
Equation to a woman,
It changes like sour cream
Under the radiator
Except it goes good
Instead of more sour
Balance is sought almost
Immediately as I begin
To factor and define
And refine to be divine
An experience so sublime
Lost in brown hair and green-gold eyes
I struggle to seek the end
To hell with factoring
And balance
I need air
Freedom from her scented
Skin and her
Virescent eyes
====================
Well, I guess that ain't all bad. Perhaps no apology is needed.
Goth...thanks for coming around here today. Your poem is oaken in timber, willowy in fibre and all you. Thanks.
Tomorrow, then. | |

Posted: 8/1/2004 8:43:44 PM | I am back. It was a challenging day of biking through the deserted city and stopping at coffee shops to read.
I'm feeling muuuch better now. I was also thinking how easy life would be without testicles.
But then, I would have nothing to scratch.
Compromises...always compromises...
Goth and Zee....thanks for being here. Hugs to both. | |

Posted: 8/2/2004 4:35:41 PM | Howdy all.
Back again with a fresh load.
Spontaneous! Poem! Engaged!
=======================
Arse – A Love Poem
I love the word “arse”
I can’t help myself
I introduce it into
Contexts most inappropriate
And times most
Unexpected
Arse is a farce
Finding it’s way into
Sentences I parse
Sprinkled not-so sparse
Amongst my phrases
It can be an alternate word
For “ass”
Though that word is crass
Too blunt for normal usage
But that, too, has it’s place
=====================
See yer tomorrow, 'kay?

Posted: 8/3/2004 5:18:36 PM | Again, hello all. I see Charlene has a photo to go with her name. Puts the starch back in my linguini, if you know what I mean. Anyhoo...I was inspired on the way home. You'll understand in a moment or two:
======================
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way Home
Today I heard a car horn
That sounded like
Michael Jackson being
Kicked in the bag
It was a raspy
Groaning squeal of a thing
Pathetic, almost
Laughable, completely
Ignorable, utterly
The three-chinned
Driver glared at me
In silent rage
Hands wrapped around
The steering wheel
Like he was strangling
A bagel
I smiled
And waved
And carried on
====================
So...no one's been around lately? Rats. Just when this was becoming a bit of a hangout, the smell drives them away. Durn.
Ah, well...I always have myself to play with....dum de dum...
See you tomorrow. | |
|

| Re: GoatSmell's Own Poetry Thread
Posted: 8/3/2004 5:58:16 PM | Thanks. I spent about twenty minutes figuring out what that horn sounded like...then it dawned on me. After that, the rest was easy.
Good to see someone here today besides me. Thanks, ticket. | |
