Not technically poetry, but the lyrics to the Every Time I Die song, Floater.
To my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well. I'll be leaving, you can't stop me. We've been carrying on too long. I'm sorry, but I'm gone. I've got a bad reputation to think about. I've been dirty, I've been wrong. Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up. I'm stepping out to clear my head. I'm breathing in to fill my lungs. We're all dead. Farewell scenic highway overpass. It's better this way anyways. My lover, the river, makes a better soldier than a bride. But I left my heart at the side of her bed and she's got the warmest body that I've ever had. Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love. Bring the children to the water, and let them see what heartache did. This matrimony needs a witness, and you can teach them to swim. You can teach them all to swim. Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men. Drown us at birth, save her some time. Drifting on romantic holiday, breathless as her cold arms cover me. Drag the lake. You'll find it full of love. |

Five Meals
By lord carbo Today I have strangely been in the mood To eat a hill a mountain of food A breakfast for four Makes me want more Lunch for a king Is hardly a thing An elephant snack I gorge and attack Dinner is big I eat like a pig Yet a small desert Makes my tummy hurt

Uh, SethSquall? You love that poem so much yet you don't know it's not "The Rhyme", but rather "The Rime"?

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is excellent. My personal favorite, though, is A Dust of Snow by Robert Frost, mostly because it's short enough for me to have (kind of) committed to memory. Here goes:
The way a crow shook down on me A dust of snow from a hemlock tree Has given my heart a change of mood And saved a part of a day I rued Haven't heard it for about 3 years, though, so that might be a bit off.

My personal favorite is "Epigram" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet. Actually, I have a second favorite, from Alexander Pope's "Essay on Man" Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, The proper study of mankind is Man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side, With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride, He hangs between, in doubt to act or rest; In doubt to deem himself a God or Beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such, Whether he thinks too little or too much; Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; Still by himself abused or disabused; Created half to rise, and half to fall: Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd; The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! |

FFR
A website of fun, As long as you don't act dumb. Then you should be safe. Flash Flash Revolution And I It began on that one fatefull day, When I went on the computer to play. Excited and happy, I was. For I was going to play a game. My brother Ryan had said it twas' not lame, So I hopped off of AIM and hopped onto a game. This game was called Kingdom of Loathing. I joined this game with my bro, And joined a clan playing about and fro'. This clans name was FFR. I did not know what FFR was, untill my brother showed me. I was kicked out of the clan of FFR. For giving a page of spamming. Angry and cursing and damning, I began to think of some planning. I joined the site of FFR in the year of '04 I said to them that I was there to stay, And they basically knocked me to the floor. So I made up another name, As I was given the same result. So I mad up another, And another, and another and more. Until the year of 2005. When I made up my final diguise. I called it the Lightknight, my name as alias. And showed FFR that it was me. Except I stayed anyways. I grew more and more enemies and recieved the name n00b. Hated and banned I was. Until I decided that this was it! I decided to post my final post! To show the host that I am no ghost! That I'm real with feelings as well! Except! No matter what I tried I was always repelled! So this is it? This the end? An end of my life, on the internet? Then fine! Then fine! Quit, I shall. This is my last poem! This is for Mal! The one who had understood my point of view! And treated me like he has treated all of you! So this is it? This is the end? Shall I be forgiven? Ever again? If I submit this will people notice? Or will they skip it and post one of their own. So I may be forshawdowed in the darkness alone. Now this is it. This is the end. I am leaving FFR. If I return it will not be me. Soon, you shall see what I mean. I swear to you. To all who are. That I am the Lightknight, Knight of the light. Pride is Life. And that is my final advice. Farewell to you all. I am not returning. When I do, it will not be the Lightknight you remembered. For you will lose the LK that once was, Into the darkness, Into the lost. Thank you Mal for sticking up for me. Now it is my turn to pay you all back. Never again shall I burden you all. Fare thee well RaiRai, Fare thee well to all. Farewell. I am the Lightknight, .....Of the Fourth Age. Prikas ik Life. |

quoth the server, "404"
do a google search, I don't know if I can post it here. It's humorous. Otherwise, I'm not to keen on reading published poetry. |

This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin
They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another's throats. Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself.
