Aw, I didn't do much--you picked up the ball and ran with it! You have poetry and pilots coursing through your veins!
I'm just so blissed out with the finished product. Different ines from it were running through my mind all day! Hehe. I look forward to even more brilliance from you, I'm positively giddy that your brain is teeming with ideas. Once your semester's done, we should have a serious hybrid-mindmeld poetry rap session.
And hey, you should post this to a BSG community! Until, that is, our BSG crackpoetry comm comes into being. :D
Oh, good idea--I'll cross-post to some comm's. And I so there for the hybrid mind-meld; only one more week to go!!!
Until then, a little drabble gift for you (this popped into my head mid-way through one of my papers, due on Monday of course--ack):
Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, Kara, were no crime. We would sit down and think which way To eye-frak through each endless day; Thou as Samuel T. Anders bride Shouldst respite find; I by the side Of Dualla would complain. I would Love you more than a good CAG should; And you could, you brat, remain withdrawn Till the end of all the Cylons. My angsty pining love should grow Vaster than colonies, and more slow.
DAMN, I am running out of words for "awesome" for you! Cracked-out Marvell! Swoon! Thank you so much for sharing!
And rhyming "withdrawn" with "Cylons"...oh my goodness.
e would sit down and think which way To eye-frak through each endless day
Uncontrollable laughter over here! (And that's so EXACTLY what they do!)
And yes, it's funny how crackpoem ideas can keep hijacking your brain when you really should be working on something else. I could send you my Wyatt sonnet if you like. (I did that at 4am. Sigh.) But maybe you don't need any more evil distractions. ;)
I also had another crazy idea to do an episode of BSG in the style of Homer. A BSG Iliad! (I study Greek lit, so...) It'd have epithets and everything. "Starbuck, breaker of manflesh." (Or maybe "breaker of gonads"?) "Slow-clappin Adama." "Roslin of the swift airlock." "Tight-assed Apollo." etc. etc.
Dude! I was trying to summon some Homer crack for you (in honour of your classics-nerdiness), and I kept drawing a blank on where to start. Something riffing off of his "rosy-fingered dawn" line, but it wasn't working for me. I trust you to do it justice! And Marvell just popped into my brain instead so I ran with it. My undergrad focus was in english lit so it's not surprising that my brain keeps reverting to that...
OMG those epithets are perfect! Holy shit, I LOOOOOVE them! I need an entire icon series with Starbuck, breaker of manflesh and Roslin of the swift airlock et al. The possibilities are endless!!!
Send me the Wyatt--I would love to see it. I'll save feedback till next week, but I could use a pleasant distraction about now.
Flaily time!
I looooove your crackpoetry! And I don't CARE who FRAKKIN' knows!
Eee, so hard to choose favorite lines! But I'm terribly fond of this stanza:
In what heated arms or thighs
Burnt the fire of Lee's cries?
In what joy dare he sing out?
Or call for you to join his shout?
Oh. Ablaze with feverish Blakeish energy and yet so sad!
And perhaps the most cutting lines of all:
What hasty marriage to some guy
Dare tame thy fearless pilot-ry?
Hahaha!
I should probably feel horribly guilty but I can't because I'm too gleeful.
I am bad, bad, but the result is so, so good. Astounding! Thank you!
*hugs your genius*
Hooray!

Oh, thank you!!! That's the best compliment a crackwriting imitator could get!
No need to feel guilty for loving those lines--Sam will have his day too. And in the meantime, YAY FOR PILOTS! Lovely, angsty, hot pilots!
*hugs back* I couldn't have done it without your inspiration and fabulous feedback :)

I've decided our muse is named Crackiope.
