BSG Crackpoetry: "Kara", a spoof on "Tyger" by William Blake

Schoolwork be damned, I'm posting some crack!

OH!

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!

[boom_queen]

Ablaze with feverish Blakeish energy and yet so sad!

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 :)

[dionusia]

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

[boom_queen]

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And you could, you brat, remain withdrawn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.

Why tattoo-ed? gone insane?
Out the airlock was thy brain?
HAHAHAHAHAHA. *clutches sides* I tried to keep a straight face while reading this but these lines broke me! That could not be more funny or more evocative of Lee having a WTFOMGBBQ?! response to 'Why with Anders?!' And yes, Kara, that is a valid question. *glares at her*

[boom_queen]

Heee, thanks :) Trying to keep a straight face during crackpoetry is an exercise in futility--but I'm so glad those lines made you laugh!

And WTFOMGBBQ made me howl out loud. Awesome!

[bop_radar]

Ah, yes, you're right about the futility, but I still like testing myself with such things! ;-)

Hi, I'm here from dionusia's rec. This cracked me up! And I love this new BSG crackpoetry movement! I think crackpoetry is my new... crack?

Anyway, I loved the twined lines:
What beloved kiss or sigh
Could tame thy fearless pilot-ry?

What hasty marriage to some guy
Dare tame thy fearless pilot-ry?

Just the word "pilot-ry" had me rolling. Really great job!

[boom_queen]

I'm very much enjoying the new crackpoetry movement too--who knew BSG crack could be so much fun!

And I'm so glad you loved the "pilot-ry" lines :) Thanks for reading!

[boom_queen]

Thanks for reading--I'm so glad to perk up your morning :) Yay for crackpoetry!

[ez_as_pi]

I'm grinning from ear to ear... crack is the only way to start the day.. Fabulous job.

[boom_queen]

Yay! I made Pi grin!!! I agree: everyday should begin with crack.

And thanks for the compliment :)
