it was the best dream ever.
moses was there
parting the c's
her cleavage grew
like a fetus on steroids.

The toaster shot up my waffles
And it reminded me of how emo cows must all be.
fat as jabba the hut,
showing off their meat
like spiderman in his tights,
though he used more stuffing
than in a turkey on thanksgiving,
those bastards wanted to be cut.

If he wasn't running
as fast as the fucking road runner
but without the spinning legs,
I would have told that stoner,
face more sunken than the titanic,
that there wasn't pot
but a pot of gold
at the end of that rainbow he dashed for.

I woke up with a song stuck in my head
though I was sure it didn't exist.

Something about penguin feathers and alka seltzer,
though I tried to push it away
like it was raping me;

I never liked love songs.

This was absolutely terrible. In a good way. It sort of reminds me of what a five year old who has just been introduced to poetry, metaphors, and similes might write.

Maybe I should switch my style to comedy... Everyone prefers this over my normal writing... :P Thanks Heroine.

I was joking, haha I'll take it as a compliment that offended you :P

It will take a lot to offend me you know that... write as funny as you want but there better be a love line in everyone!

"The toaster shot up my waffles" LMAO!!! Congrats! "I woke up with a song stuck in my head/ though I was sure it didn't exist." I love the existentialism of these two lines, so absolutely Left of Left/Right... and the final line= how it sums up the idea of WHAT THE HELL were you meaning (in a purposeful manner, of course!). It's somehow PERFECT: "I never liked love songs." I never Loved Like Songs but I don't think Like Songs exist? They should, really. Why aren't there any Like Songs in this musical 'Verse? Maybe The Emo Cows will write some? I think that'd be a great name for a band in that genre: The Emo Cows (hardcore post-cum-pop-punk w/ just a little blue & mainstream S). Are Waffles the Answer, "like a fetus on steroids"? Cheers!

Congrats!!! I still enjoy every word.

...you know, pieces like these aren't true entries for contests as such; freeverse like this is the work of a master hand, most of the time...sure, not much fit together, but it didn't have to...it just worked...


On Friday October 17th, 2008, SilentStalker (1316) writes:
...what I'm getting at is, good writers just can't easily write shit poetry (exception is 'I feel emotion', though that was genius for the intent); it's not in our blood...we flop every now and then, but it's not a cascade failure...the cascade failures surprisingly never attempt to enter contests like this, unfortunately... :P


On Friday October 17th, 2008, Echoes of Orpheus (692) writes:
I'm still surprised I won, to be honest. Carl's poem was certainly worse than mine in it's own ways. Mine was just stupid and full of nonsense images, ideas, and metaphors. If anything I got the votes because it stood out as being a full poem that looked at least like an honest attempt at a structured poem, but had no real point or art to it. Though some people liked that bit... This contest was difficult, overall.


On Friday October 17th, 2008, SilentStalker (1316) writes:
...'shit-poem' contests are hard to those that actually put thought into their writes...if you need to put a catch onto your writes to make sure people know it's yours, you've already done something creative with the write, and already have a good point on your side. it has to pretty much attempt to be good, but horribly fail at it...which fortunately, not many people can accomplish... :P

...fido, watching Dido, singing credo, in a speedo, and the mic is, looking like-is, a banana on the floor...Wonka, selling Tonka, on the trailer, of a whaler, made of plastic, so fantastic, each a dollar-ninety-four...


On Friday October 17th, 2008, SilentStalker (1316) writes:
...and sadly, that still isn't a winning example...I lean too much on structure; I want it to at least 'sound' creative, which makes it work better than a true bad attempt...but I'm not here to say you don't deserve the win; I'm merely stating that this is 'not' a shit write...it's quite the opposite, in all hilarity... ;)

haha, why didn't you enter?! This was fun, regardless of everything.

Now we're both DP champions !(makes for a great pick-up line, or so I'm told) Although *sniffle* I'm just a "former"...

This left me feeling like a light bulb in the middle of a super nova (you know, like a chevy nova, but souped up with some chicken) on the 2nd of August, 1938. But I think it may have just a little too much impact for your intentions... ;)

This is almost what would happen if Salvador Dali sat down to write, and I'll be damned if that isn't quite the compliment. Loved it.
