Yes you are mine is poop

You Poems are Poo,
And theres nothing you can do,
But try to rewrite,

and write a poem or two!

I have a thread of my poems here.
Sorry about the depressing stuff, I was going through a phase when I wrote most of those.

A topic I'm passionate about? Here's one.

Welcome to Australia, the s--- has hit the fan
The economy's gone triple speed; Gillard can't sort a ban
On refugees, how many boats was that in the past week?
Opposition to the carbon tax is sailing for its peak

The national carrier recently ground to a halt
"Don't look at me! It was SO Tony Abbot's fault!"
The eruption of a volcano half a world away
Also had the airline bought down within a day

Not to mention their trans-Pacific alliance entity
American Airlines has just gone and filed for bankruptcy
The share market's fallen by a fifth so far this year
Wayne Swan bravely claims that he really has no fear

A budget surplus on the books by 2012?!
Public spending must be cut, into health he delves.
We're levelling towers in order to build more
The price of iron ore is going through the floor

It's coming out the Pilbara at breakneck speeds
Oh! But here the carbon tax proves to be a weed
Bluescope's closing down blast furnace number six
Onesteel's closing a whole plant looking for a fix

Gillard still has to argue about gay marriage
While over in Athens parliament's facing a barrage
Of protestors who think austerity is a load of crap
Well guys - suck it up - if Germany's downgraded, snap!

The Eurozone could be sent under, world economies break down
Then it'll be more than Merkel who's wearing a frown
China thinks they have it bad with inflation in the sky
Australia's had two interest rate cuts - all since July!

In the states, public confidence has been torn
Are we really scrutinising where Obama was born?
They all think he did bad with the unemployment rate
The credit downgrading really got them all into a state

In Canberra the tension is as high as America's debt
Is Kevin Rudd still in the picture?! Well, he'd be willing to bet.
We really need a laugh in this economic gloom...
How about we plant Gillard down onto the Ribs of Doom?!

Contrasts

Shadows and light
Day and night
Wrong and right
Weakness and might

Shadows move, the light is still
Day on that plain, night on that hill
The wrong are weak, the right has the will
Weak ones are small, but the mighty ones kill

Goats {this one is stupid

}

Goats are jumping down the hill
They never ever can keep still
They smile at you
And bite you, too
Hoping their food dish you will fill

Linn Bee, you have painted a verbal portrait of an English border garden. Thank you for the images.

OMG, that's great.

Made me laugh at least. I think it's the stupidest poems that are sometimes the best.

 

[Avalon1984]

I have a new horse,
it makes me happy of course.
He is black and white,
and to my delight,
he's a studly boy,
oh what a joy!


Hey, I am getting the hang of this!

My blog has some of my poetry... I haven't posted all of it, but there are a few.

[Magic Birdie]

My all time fav. poem (because it's about birds...)

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches on the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.

And sweetest in the Gale is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash this little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest Sea
Yet never in extremity
It asked a crumb of me
-Emily Dickenson

And ironically, this was sung at Martha, the last passenger pigeon's funeral:

Hush, a voice from the far away.
Listen and learn, it seems to say.
All tomorrows shall be as today.
The cord is frayed, the cruise is dry.
The link must break and the lamp must die.
Goodbye to hope, goodbye, goodbye.

Both from memory, of course

Once I memorized a HUGE poem... two pages long in the book!

I did NOT write these poems! Even if I was old enough to get to have my poem read in 1914, they would never choose me!
