Please, don't make me go.
I don't think I wanna know.
But what you see inside
is all I've tried to hide.
You can't see me.
You can't hear me.
You've shut me out.
Turned about.
Walked on ahead.
Left me for dead.
Ignored my pleas.
You must be
so happy without me.
When we first met
I would have bet
You'd never has been
a very good friend.
A sorority girl.
You hair in curls.
Your car was bought
by your rich mom'n'pop.
You dress the same
as all the other dames
You and your sisters alone
could be mistaken for clones.
And what was I?
Just some dumb guy.
Who didn't care what he wore
I got what was in store.
For me.
And now you can...
see.
But...
You can't see me.
You can't hear me.
You've shut me out.
Turned about.
Walked on ahead.
Left me for dead.
Ignored my pleas.
You must be
so happy without me.
On our first date.
You were late.
We stayed out till dawn.
I passed out at home.
But I wasn't the kind of guy
That you were supposed to find.
The other girls
put it to a vote
They cast the dice
You gave up the ghost.
They told you that it was
them or me.
They...
made you see.
But...
You can't see me.
You can't hear me.
You've shut me out.
Turned about.
Walked on ahead.
Left me for dead.
Ignored my pleas.
You must be
so happy without me.
You must be
So Happy...
Really, Truely
happy.
Without...
me...
Poetry.Sucks.

*Cries*
As soon as I saw it was poetry my mind went blank and my eyes unfocused. Sorry, but I just don't have the attention span for that dribble you call "Poetry." I'm sure it would be delightful if I read it.

Never read Kipling, eh?
Quote from: HotsumaPoetry.Sucks.
Ooh, you forgot the "Most. " before that.
Most everything sucks, it's true.
The problem with poetry is that when it sucks, brother, it sucks BAD.
Thing is, when it's good, it's sublime. Many people don't bother learning how to appreciate (or even find) the good stuff, so many people mistake the stuff they see teenagers sticking in their livejournals or ripping off song lyrics for poetry, and assume it's representative. That's like hearing your grade-school band and never wanting to hear the London Philharmonic.
"Good poetry" is an oxymoron.
Kind of like, "Elderly Ninja?"
Quote from: Hotsuma"Good poetry" is an oxymoron.
I disagree.
You don't like Kipling? Sandberg? That brain-damaged freak Samuel Coleridge Taylor? Read HIS stuff...lots of greyfaces would move to make room on the bus for THAT drug fiend.

I disagree.
Then your wrong.

Hey, Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the BOMB.
'And through the drifts the snowy clifts
did cast a dismal sheen:
Nor shapes of men nor beast we ken --
The Ice was all between.'
...
'About, about in reel and rout
the deaths fires danced at night.
And the water like a witches oils
Burnt green and blue and white.'
...
'They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose
Nor spake, nor moved their eyes;
It had been strange, even in a dream,
to have seen those dead men rise.'
...
'Water, water, everywhere.
And not a drop to drink.
Water, water, everywhere.
And all the boards did shrink.'
I think I can best describe the feeling that I get from reading that work by quoting from the Sandman.
Quote from: William ShakespereGod's Wounds! If only I could write like you!
In Faustus where you wrote-- "To god! He loves thee not! The god thou servest is thine own appetite, wherein is fixed teh love of Beelzebub."
"To Him I'll build an altar and a church, and offer lukewarm blood of new-born babies."
It chills my blood.

Nothing. It's just that I've been treading the more disreputable paths of the internet long enough to be wary of links in that context.

I attended Clemson University's Summer Science Program when I was like 13, and took a programming course there.
It was their 'advanced' one for the teenagers. So it was in VB. This was before I was shown the Light that is C and OOP.
My teacher there, I forget his name, was like 70, still doing Computer Sci. He had worked on ENIAC as a programmer. We talked alot.

C??? Boy, are YOU spoiled. The best I had was 8081..."WILL NOT COMPILE" :x
Other than that, it was straight binary...all we had were 1's and 0's, and sometimes we didn't have any 1's.

You had ones? We had the letter 'L', but only in lowercase. Sometimes we didn't even have that. I once wrote an entire database program using '\0'.

Binary huh? Bleeding luxury! Why when I was a boy we had to manipluate voltages manually, with our tongues, because we were all out of vaccum tubes, and if we got our fingers caught in the cogs they just sawed our digits off with a rusty spoon and made us reconfigure the machine from scratch with our bleeding stumps.

You had cogs?!
We had to glue triangular prisms onto rectangular prisims! Sometimes we didn't even have triangular prisms! I once made a cog out of my head and Josh's finger bones.

Yeah, but our binary was done with small stones. We had one of the other cave men eat the stones, to complie the program.
Unfortunately, most of our programs were along the lines of "let's make Oog strain to take a dump."
Good times.

Dream would step across the void between the worlds, appearing in the Waking World infront of Faelan. His lily-white, robe clad arms would wrap around her, and he would dip her, leaning her back, his lips pressing against hers.
how come nobody ever goes for "blow me, I'm Irish"?
