I'll nominate (or second?) DanaC, for Manchester Dreaming.

Sun_Sparkz had some pretty good poetry, but I don't think she's posted anything lately.

Trilby · 04-13-2008, 08:07 PM

HungLikeJesus · 04-13-2008, 08:15 PM

what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I don't think it should be a nomination thread but a participation thread.

I write only for fun. It's nothing, none of it. I write for 2nd graders, which is fine and fun, but it's no great art. It's only to get them to think. I have a prof that I actually LOATHE; he's a published, accomplished poet and I hate everything he's written. He was there when SS boots threatened his family but yet....he still makes the poem motherfucking boring. His poems suck. a lot.

we were going over a really sexy stanza in a poem (Cherrylog Road) where the guy, who wants to score with the girl, says:

I held her and held her and held her,
Convoyed at terrific speed
By the stalled, dreaming traffic around us,
So the blacksnake, stiff
With inaction, curved back
Into life, and hunted the mouse

And Professor,in his sixties, well aquainted with sex, refused to discuss this stanza as he was "afraid' mothers, fathers, and faculity would find it "offensive." what-a-douche.

he shouldn't be teaching poetry let alone write it.

end rant.

HungLikeJesus · 04-13-2008, 10:47 PM

Yeah, I really like Cherrylog Road. But I always thought it was about racing cars on back roads.

Lj, I have an unimaginable fear of rejection. I can only write stuff if it doesn't matter. that's my big secret (that everyone knows, anyway). I think it WOULD be fun but I can't compete with others. I have a very fragile sense of self as it is!! I do poems for fun--coz they make me smile or laugh, not because I can 'write' them. I didn't mean to piss on your parade. that's two for me with you---just ignore me. I'll get better.

lumberjim · 04-14-2008, 02:14 PM

meh.....
competetive poetry is probably a bad concept.

Trilby · 04-14-2008, 03:46 PM

competitive poetry is NOT a bad idea. it's what keeps poetry alive.

I think we need rules:

a poet must make use of the according: cunnilingus, french kissing, rimjob.

make THAT into a poem, you godless amatuers, and then we will talk!!

lumberjim · 04-14-2008, 03:52 PM

the omission of 'felatio' from that list is quietly shrieking in my mind's ear.

Though you have no eyes
And your face is a slit,
You do have thighs
And epic pink lips

We'll lay here for days,
My tongue planted deep
In the swamp-like haze
That swells as you weep

When juices run out,
Your caverns well fed,
I'll move to the mouth
On the back of your head
