Let's Write Poems!

Mar 12, 2010 05:28

It's time to write countdown poems to carry us through to the 23rd.

Here's today's:

Just twelve more days to go!
The time crawls by so slow-
Ly till the book appears
It seems more like twelve years!

I cannot wait to know
Just what happens to So-
Phos and of course to Gen.
It's ages until then!

Join in, everybody!

These release dates are making us manic
Non-US fans beginning to panic.
From all over the world
The enquiry is heard
"Where oh where can we get it from quick?!"

I fail at limericks, but it's true! The only place I can get CofK from is Amazon.co.uk, and it won't even be sent 'til the 25th D:

Another (non-spoilery!) effort:

Temptation: A chatzy monologue

No! DON'T spoil me-
I have no desire to know.
I read books in entirety ( ... )

"Temptation: A Chatzy Monologue" is now my favorite poem ever. Think the English teacher would let me memorize it next block?

What, even with the crazy rhyming scheme that's different in every verse and the frankly weird rhythms? Thank you! I'm very flattered. Bet she will let you :D

TLE, are you still spoiler-free?

I forgot to put a little disclaimer saying I was talking about myself if anyone (I gave in in about 20 seconds, though) not anyone else. Staying spoiler-free is hard, and to those who've done it, well, I admire you, oh pure white angels.

I like it too, but you still owe me a ficlet. ;P

Cheater.

Anyhow!

Nuh uh! It's *not* cheating! Don't you see the wonderful symmetry between the split slow-Ly and So-Phos?
I get *extrea* points for that!

Ermmm - that would be *extra

Your poem is wonderful! I enjoyed reading it :)

aged_crone March 13 2010, 00:07:44 UTC

Thank you. That's very soothing after Checkers' vicious attack. ; )

drashizu March 13 2010, 01:14:34 UTC

tiegirl March 13 2010, 01:34:57 UTC

Eleven days! Two weeks less three!
I chortle in my glee.
Eleven days! A week plus four!
My heart is sore.
So long a time, so short
A paucity, a mort.
Time drags and flies.
/me waits, and sighs.

drashizu March 13 2010, 02:17:14 UTC

hehe I like the chatzy command in the last line. So appropriate.

tiegirl March 13 2010, 02:18:17 UTC

I LOVE YOU!!!!

This is...it's....words fail me. But not you.

"I can't wait until March twenty-third!!"
My friends know my wails to the word.
"I am going to DIE!"
They have all heard me cry,
And they heartlessly say, "Yeah, we've heard."

Hee hee! That's all right, WE understand!
