If you've got a funky fresh side that ya just can't hide, well the time is right to ignite, and toss yo hot self on a pile of style. But be warned, you're gettin cozy with the most bone-saggin cats that ever meowed. So if you think you got what it takes to be cool like you-know-who, then stand and deliver, dear brother or sister. Or maybe, if you know a mama or a papa whose words make your hearts stoppa, then go and coppa and pasta their pretty little ditty so we can click our digits to the rhythm of the boogy, the beat. You feel me? Ehehehe... My name is Jake, and this my poem about tissues Tissue, oh tissue You're never and issue Unless you run out In which case, I miss you If you were fine cuisine, In an instant I'd dish you, And if you were a fine woman, Why of course I would beat you, For women belong in the kitchen you see, Along with scores of food cook-ery, And if one speaks before she is asked, Expect for my rage to soon be unmasked. If the neighbors suspect, she'll not utter a peep, Or I'd smother her face while she silently sleeps, I will send dear Tommy to bury her body, And tell him she was punished for being so naughty. Thank you. YOUR TURN! Brought to you by (http://www.climatecounts.org/images/starbucks_sm.jpg) Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 24 June 2008, 02:19:36 *laughs*
Though I must say, this should be in the creation station. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Jakey on 24 June 2008, 02:20:01 Yeah probably. Someone should move this.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 24 June 2008, 02:26:23 I like beat poetry but I can't find my favourites on YouTube right now. But other than that beat stuff, I've grown kind of tired of writing and reading poems that rhyme.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Jakey on 24 June 2008, 02:32:32 Ooh, honey honey, I feel some mega nega-waves in your general direction! Someone toss a sack of hacky on this mack's whacky.

Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Chron on 24 June 2008, 03:08:12 ...
... Starbucks makes coffee? Thought they just sold dirt water. Well, my mind is blown. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 24 June 2008, 03:25:43 Ooh, honey honey, I feel some mega nega-waves in your general direction! Someone toss a sack of hacky on this mack's whacky. No nega-waves here. I was just sayin'. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Jakey on 24 June 2008, 04:39:21 Well say no more, seƱor. I have something right up your alley. It's poetry to my ears anyhow.
"What I Did On My Summer Vucation by Derek Trotter Grade 2" One day me and my mom went to the mall and saw big t rexes but i cou'ldnt touch them because mom said they were only for looking. so then we went to a close store and mom bought close for me and they had a t rex on them just like in the mall!! And i was soooooooooo happy that i bite my mom and she made a scary face and then we had to give back the close to the store an so i got green an blue close instead but its ok becaus those are my favarite colors anyway. and then i was mad when i was hungry so we went to mcdanalds an so we got i got a burger and a toy but mom said i could not even play with my own toy!!! so i bite her agin but this time she didnt make me give back my burger but she also put me in the bathrom with her an then she put her curling iron on my back and it hurt a lot because she has it in her purs when i am bad. And then we went home and then for summer we also went to grammas house and she has lots of funny cats. there is a cat and his name is derek just like my name! gramma is fun because she lets me play video games but sometimes she isnt fun because one time she thru a bottle of her grown-up soda at me and a peece of it poked me on the tummy and i cried because blood came out but she didnt give me a bandaid or nothin. And she called me poose poose poose and she petted derek the cat. and she called him a poose too. what is a poose? and that is all i remeber from the summer vucation i had. the end. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 24 June 2008, 05:21:09 Well it was just an opinion but I only know read your first poem and fine then, if you don't want to be serious at all, here's one from MTV Live by Dan Levy.
An Ode To An Ex by Dan Levy (http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p140/MTVLive/MTV Live Episodes/2008/Dan Levy/?action=view¤t=DansBreakupPoem.flv) So you broke up with me, So what? My friends say you've got a big butt. I don't care you walked out on me, I was wanting to pay you to leave. It all worked out for the best To get you off my chest. I'm not lonely at all, Now I spend most of my time at the mall. I do NOT spend most nights crying. You're a bitch and a slut and you're lying. I'm better off now by myself, You #####ing ##### ass piece of #####. So now I'm done talking about you. Why don't you take your #####ing ##### ass face and go poo? Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Jakey on 24 June 2008, 05:29:14 Well it was just an opinion but I only know read your first poem and fine then, if you don't want to be serious at all, here's one from MTV Live by Dan Levy. Haha man don't worry. You're entitled to your own opinion. I won't bang on you if you put up a serious poem. I didn't want to turn this into a haha funny deal. At least, not completely anyways. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 24 June 2008, 06:19:29 Haha, I feel like cooking something up but it's a bit late. I like this, Jake.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 24 June 2008, 07:04:24 Well it was just an opinion but I only know read your first poem and fine then, if you don't want to be serious at all, here's one from MTV Live by Dan Levy. Yeah I know, I just didn't realize it didn't have to be serious unTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. And I will never post a poem I've written as I am total crap. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 26 June 2008, 06:48:01 Coma
A pause in time; A breath of death; A stint of lifeless wonder. I stop to think, Of the life I'll lead, When I return from three-feet-under. Gazing forth, Glancing back, At the median of my tunnel, I ponder if, I'm gaining ground, Or twisting down a funnel. I speculate, Of Utopias, Of torturous hells and void. I must confide, I can't decide, What'll happen when I'm destroyed. Whether exclamation, Or period, It isn't worth the trauma. For me, it is, A question mark, And a coma's just a comma. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 06:50:47 Well, that was dope.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 06:52:15 It really was, I loved the format. Very nice.
I like the last line. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 06:57:59 It reminds me of a line my best friend wrote in one of her poems (which I think are #####ing incredible and would post them if I was allowed but she thinks she is le poo, I guess) which went like;
and death I think is no parenthesis Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 26 June 2008, 06:59:35 I don't put poetry on the internet terribly often, as I've had a bad history of people ripping me off.
Tim Chambers comes to mind. Maybe more tomorrow. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 07:06:31 I don't know who Tim Chambers is but we can go fight him if you want. Or go get Dairy Queen. Either way I'm getting ice cream.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 07:08:24 Tim Chambers is getting ice cream in his pants! I'll put it there! And he'll be uncomfortable and sticky!
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 07:09:55 I suggest putting it in his face, he is already uncomfortable and sticky downstairs as a result of his frequent yeast infections.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 07:11:19 Yeah, but if we put it in his face there's a chance he'll eat some and thus become less uncomfortable due to the sheer deliciousness of Dairy Queen.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 07:11:58 In the ear?
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 07:12:51 There's a possibility.
I was also thinking shirt. Or hair. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Chron on 26 June 2008, 19:05:25 Good work on that poem, ol' Edge. You really hit it's nose with a sledge.
But I digress, I must really confess... ... you've left me wondering about life's ledge. I call that one "Why I'm not allowed to write poems 2". but seriously, it was a good poem sir Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 19:36:05 Today I played some Star Force Two
Expecting a total hunk of poo However it was fun to do Surprsing me, surprising you. ALSO I read today of MegaMan Nine And I thought, how splendid! how simply divine! I suppose at Splash Woman I draw the line Still, for MegaMan Nine I truly pine AND Today I went to the bank Later I had a good wank LET'S NOT FORGET This poetry reeks Birds have big beaks Your face is stupid Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: preventerWIND on 26 June 2008, 19:48:30 I broke my 4th DS yesterday
Luckily I get a new one and I don't have to pay #####ing flashcart, I hate you Thank you. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Majikn on 27 June 2008, 08:47:24 Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Jakey on 28 June 2008, 01:23:08 Majikn, that was totally math.
If there aren't any objections, I think I'd like to post some of my not-so-humorish stuff. I'm afraid I've become quite the one trick pony at this saloon. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 28 June 2008, 01:27:19 Dearest Jake, I'd like to say
Anyone who objects is gay However that is not the way And to your request, I say "Nay!" But alas, it's Opposite Day, So post away! Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 28 June 2008, 02:00:41 "Hey, why don't I just go and eat some hay. I can lay by the bay, make things out of clay, I just may, what'd ya say?"
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 September 2008, 02:37:44 Necromancy FTW.
I wrote this for an english class in 98, so it's almost ten years old at this point. It still makes me smile though, so I thought I'd share. The Bane of Pain I lay in bed, I thought 'twas dead But for the pain, I can't explain The pounding dread, within my head Why won't it wane, cries out my brain. Broken filling, dental drilling O' curse the bane, of toothache pain I'd be killing, if God's willing To cease refrain of molar's pain. What can relieve and grant reprieve From curse, the bane, of toothache pain It will alleve, I must believe Or will abstain, from life mundane. I cry aloud, I am not proud Down on my knees, O' help me please To God I vowed, if he allowed Relief to ease, the pain appease. I hear my wife, say stop the strife Quit whining dear, or I do fear I'll get a knife, to end your life To me was clear, the end was near. Consternation, tribulation But then I see, it came to me Inspiration, jubilation Tylenol three, O' come to me. I took the pill, and downed with swill Pain's vacation, pure elation It fit the bill, the blessed pill Transcend dental medication. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ChaosVortex on 5 September 2008, 02:40:25 That was...
... very skilled. Bravo. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 5 September 2008, 02:43:54 Very rhythmic and well done. I like it even though its depressing.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Slugkid on 5 September 2008, 02:44:25 Heh, that was cool.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 5 September 2008, 02:45:06 I'd also like to point out that in 98 I had neither a wife, or dental problems.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Johncarllos on 5 September 2008, 03:04:27 I read that aloud to my room mate, he too found it amusing.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 5 September 2008, 03:21:12 I liked it. A lot. I wish I had more to say.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: preventerWIND on 5 September 2008, 04:22:37 That was great, loved it. Dental work is deep, man.
snap snap snap snap Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Majikn on 5 September 2008, 05:05:43 I especially like the very last line, haha.
I noticed when I signed on MMM that there were new posts in "Jake's Poetry Corner" and "Edgecrusher" was listed as having the latest post in another board, so I was like "Osnap he definitely posted a poem" and I pranced on over like it was Christmas. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Snare on 5 September 2008, 13:06:01 I do not like to bake
I miss my friend Jake I'm so sad I want to shout I miss Jake; And so I pout It might be my fault for I said out loud... Jake you fiend! You are not allowed! Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 5 September 2008, 14:12:36 Aww... so sweet...
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: saldite on 6 September 2008, 06:00:22 So...yeah...this is a poem I wrote a while ago...yeah...
Masochist All this time I've been lost, Sweltering within the depths of my sorrow. Torturing myself every goddamn day With the ritualistic games played throughout my mind. I've pushed you away, Told you to leave me alone, When there is nothing I'd love more in the world Than to accept the comfort within your smile. I want to end all these thoughts, Stop my continual contemplation. I can see in your eyes You feel my plea. I can't take your assistance so graciously offered. My foolish pride will not simply allow it. It masks my emotions with a facade Colder than the arctic chill. So I cast you aside Like disregarded trash. I tell my heart it's better off this way, But all I do is hurt myself. So...how bad did you think it was...? EDIT: Also, I wasn't sure if the poetry had to rhyme or not, so if I made a mistake in this just let me know (Though I'm certain somebody would've eventually)... Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Majikn on 6 September 2008, 06:36:53 Hmm. The thing about poetry is, and this may just be a personal thing for me, but you need to show your emotions rather than just say what your emotions are.
What you've written seems like it would work just as well in prose form, at least in my view. I'm definitely no poet, but I write some every once in a while and I always strive to keep things... between the lines. Like if I was sad about something I wouldn't write something like "I'm sad because my girlfriend broke up with me," I'd use a metaphor. I'd create an image out of my own personal symbols. But that's just me because I rather like imagery. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: saldite on 9 September 2008, 02:38:59 Er...Here's another poem...Please...criticize my crappy writing...
Hollow Man He is the hollow man Sitting in the dark Dead inside Watching the happy people Live their happy lives Shrouded in sunshine and puppies And all that Pollyanna bull##### But he is not envious, no Because he is the hollow man Never feeling anything Yet always feeling everything Talking to himself in the shadows Seeking his desolate mind for guidance Separating himself from society Don't pity him, though Don't feel sorry for him For he is not sad Because he is the hollow man Destroying himself with each step Living in comfortably in his lie Content within the shell he calls "logic" Though, the home he has built for himself Is deceptively consoling He believes it's better to be alone To have never met anyone For then he never has to lament at the absence of others Er...please give an honest (and helpful if my poetry needs improvement, which I know it does) oppinion...

Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: AlexThePenguin on 11 September 2008, 07:00:34 The first leaves of autumn crash against the windowpanes
One or two survivors push through the small opening, blowing past my face The storm brews, the wind bending the waves and trees alike The still-clinging leaves whisper, rustle, their reality shaken, death eminent The hail comes first, the driving force that clears the path for raindrops Drumming the earth and rooftops in its fury, setting the rhythm Rumbling, clattering, sizzling as the rain joins in the dance A frying pan full of water and oil, spitting and spraying and stinging It stops for a moment, still as the glass in a hand-mirror Then comes the new rain; soft, gentle, comforting, motherly Caressing the fallen leaves and twigs, washing them down the street The sidewalk clean, the gutters full of the once-glorious life of a leaf Greens, golds, yellows, reds, floating in an arc on the tides Moving swiftly toward the stream, catching on small plants yet living Protection for stability, shield for lodging, warmth of fireside chats Brethren circle down to join kin, some caught on the last snippets of winds The storm clouds break apart, the rays of sunset bathe the scene Surreal, glistening, reds and golds in spite of all else Dark clouds purple, shadows pacing the earth o'er all upon it Rising, stretching, blending into the final curtain of night Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Majikn on 14 October 2008, 06:47:15 These are actually about being late for work. On Fridays and Saturdays we have a meeting on arrival, and it was decided recently that those who are not reasonably on time must freestyle rap (during the meeting) why they are late.
Well, ##### freestyle. These're nothing special but they'll get it over with fast enough. LATE EXCUSES --- The reason why I'm late Gives naught to demonstrate But maybe I can orate That it was all just fate I needed entry to the room Where your bowels seem to boom And even though I swiped on time It called for what I pass for rhyme My sleep is in a setting That deserves some regretting And it's due this abberation The reason of my tardation I was promised a ride So I relaxed and sighed But then the driver lied So I ran desperately and cried ... Any other ideas? Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Johncarllos on 14 October 2008, 14:59:09 Your job is awesome.
Freestyle rap why you are late?! That's Awesome! I got nothing at the moment. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 21 October 2008, 04:31:10 I love that you rhyme the word "tardation"
Though shame on you for spittin' writtens. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: preventerWIND on 21 October 2008, 04:44:20 Hah, our math class is like that, except the teacher hates the idea, but the students go along with freestyle Friday's anyway.
I gotta get to thinkin' up some #####.. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 21 October 2008, 05:00:04 ... It's not a freestyle if you're not making it up on the fly.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: preventerWIND on 21 October 2008, 05:04:18 My whitey brain isn't set to freestyle mode at the moment. I really gotta keep up with the jams now and then, which is why I need the gears to be turnin'.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 21 October 2008, 05:26:13 I freestyle a lot, but I'm really bad at it. Like, and I mean, I do it a lot.
I'm not particularly good, but it's fun for me and it's entertaining enough to anyone else because, well, I'm a short white kid trying to freestyle. It's a lot of fun. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Majikn on 21 October 2008, 06:24:26 #####, I misspelled aberration.
That makes me angry, because I love that word. I love that you rhyme the word "tardation" I wanted to sound smart, haha. As for spittin' writtens, I doubt I'll ever be late, and if I am, I'll actually see if I can do something on the spot, or at least take the time to think of something just before I arrive. So you know, I'll actually try. But I probably won't come up with anything, so I got backup. I'm VERY introverted so I'd probably have a nervous breakdown before and/or after no matter what I do, not that it justifies. But I'll probably just tell everyone it was written beforehand and they won't care. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Mikero on 21 October 2008, 22:48:49 ... It's not a freestyle if you're not making it up on the fly. Apparently a lot of people write rhymebooks. Various lines and such. And then in their freestyle they just put the lines they made together off of memory. That's what I've heard anyway. I hate freestyling and can only do it fast enough in the shower (not out loud) and then instantly forget it later. I like to write. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: ASR on 21 October 2008, 23:48:37 I'm a writer at heart, but whenever I try to write a "freestyle," it never turns out the way I want it to.
So I vastly prefer just freestyling on the spot for the sheer fun of it. Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Edgecrusher on 22 October 2008, 00:39:19 As it should be.
Title: Re: Jake's Poetry Corner Post by: Majikn on 22 October 2008, 05:22:17 I'm currently writing a parody of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, on the subject of #####ING SNOW IN OCTOBER. Started writing it today, and man, this kind of structured rhyme is crazy. I like the practice though. And I love that poem.
