Patrick Posted September 29, 2018 Report Posted September 29, 2018 Been talking with a dear friend tonight. The following poems flowed out. There is some language below, you've been warned. Quote
Patrick Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Posted September 29, 2018 Life... Sometimes you are a passenger Looking through a window, Trying to make sense of the world outside Life... Just a bloody passenger Someone else in the driver's seat Charting a course you just follow Life... Fuck being a passenger Don't you want to drive from time to time? Life... So now you're driving. Oh, I pity you... Quote
Patrick Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Posted September 29, 2018 Hello dear old friend. Just you and me tonight. Seems to be an ongoing trend. Together, we pass the night. Nothing around the bend. Is this our plight? Nothing to really mend. Should that give me a fright? Are you even a friend? Not quite... Quote
Patrick Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Posted September 29, 2018 Tomorrow is a long way away... Three, four maybe even five... How many do you need? How many to pass the... night? Come the morrow, Count the cost? Survival? Lies? And then again. Three, four...five Or even six? The daily toll, Tick tock... Tick Tock... Lies... Lies, LIES! Comfortable...bloody...fucking...LIES! Yes... Yes... Just one more? Quote
Patrick Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Posted September 29, 2018 There is a hunger You want it No....no... You need...IT Some call it addic- Shhh! That's a nasty word. It's nothing bad. Just something to help... Help you get through... Each and every...day? But... But... You doubt, you fear? But it's always...there Silence your fears. Silence... Silence... Blessed...silence... You need it. That is enough. More than enough. Way more... Quote
Patrick Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Posted September 29, 2018 I have a friend. Let me repeat that. I. Have. A. Friend. Despite everything. Someone who is there. Who believes. More than I do. No...that is wrong. I don't believe. He does. It is enough. It has to be. I...have a friend. Quote
Peredhil Posted September 29, 2018 Report Posted September 29, 2018 Wow. Just wow. Gut-poetry. Nicely done; good to see you post again. Quote
Patrick Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Posted September 1, 2019 Sometimes you just sit down. And WRITE! Get the thoughts out ! SHOUT THEM! Quote
Patrick Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Posted September 1, 2019 You know, I feel like forcing a rhyme, Go on rhymezone.com and find something to pass the time. Doesn't even have to be that good, Just has to be something you could... RHYME You just start putting thoughts on a page- Does that really rhyme with vacuum gauge ? Now that just sounds a bit stupid, Oh shit, the only word I can use is cupid. Because...RHYME This structure just feels forced Rhymezone tells me a word to use is "horst" So you go to Google, what does it mean? Wikipedia comes to your aid you're very keen. Hey, that's a RHYME! "Horst is a raised block bounded by normal faults" Allow me to dance a little waltz. I've just learned something extraordinary, I think my balls are a little bit hairy... Wait, that's not the RHYME- -that I wanted to use, it's too dirty My keyboard has keys that spell qwerty That's a lie, my keyboard is French It only says AZERTY And that don't RHYME This poem is breaking down, going down the drain These rhymes have become somewhat of a pain Coming up with them is mostly a strain My searching of rhymezone.com is not in vain Pride I can't even feign Tonight poetry I have slain Fucking with my own brain But who is to gain? Certainly not Spain? HOLA! This has become a stupid exercise in form A form that has been broken and twisted It is the new norm And I have not been unassisted (by rhymezone.com) RHYME! Rhyme as if your life depended on it! Show off your whit! (by rhymezone.com) It says you should use palm, qualm, prom, spalm or rhomb RHYME! This poem is mostly done My point is : none! I have no burp gun Nor do I have a blow gun But I've had fun With this RHYME! thyme - tasty ! slime - slippery ! dime - ooh money ! crime - oh no ! grime - dirty ! prime : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 - infinitely many ! mime -let's start again !

Peredhil Posted November 19, 2019 Report Posted November 19, 2019 Oh my Lady Gaga! (OMLGg). I needed a chuckle! Quote
Patrick Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Posted January 12, 2020 "You should just write" "It's easy" "You should just write" It's easy to say that. Throw down random words? Jumbled thoughts that make no sense? Just spew out bullshit? Nah. Not today. Quote
Patrick Posted November 1, 2023 Author Report Posted November 1, 2023 This post was recognized by Snypiuer! "Hey, was going to "LIKE" this post, but there was no like button! BUT, there ARE three little dots and this came up. NO IDEA what it actually is! Yet, I THINK I like it . . . 9 POINTS!!! No idea what that means, but it "FEELS" right." Patrick was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 9 points. Tickle? Fickle! Still here Adhere! To the new frontier That this Poem Brings I miss All of you (and I know that doesn't rhyme)... ...but that is the way this mind sings. Thoughts with wings Thoughts pulled by strings Thoughts...scatter A rhyme on a ...platter? (ugh...) The structure goes a scatter Lost in the chatter Of this mind And it is signed ~me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Quote
Harmonious_Echos Posted November 7, 2023 Report Posted November 7, 2023 Thoughts on a platter, sounds like me A little bit rhymed and clunky, a little bit short and chunky, a little bit out of the water now-- splattering thoughts like drops from the clouds. Thanks for freeing this rainbow-- these shattered bits from a day's life wrapped in a scarf of expressions, shone through by an inspiration's light. ❤️ Quote
Patrick Posted May 27 Author Report Posted May 27 So...this brain of mine These thoughts Scattered or collected as they may be... Words that you slowly align Just...connect...the...bloody...dots As simple as 1...2...3 Yet, some sequences sense do not make Slithery, slimy, blasted little snake These thoughts, as if flying off on the back of a drake Maketh sense is not always the thing that braketh A poem or a rhyme, but yet... Sense this doth not... Make! Create! Look outside the window ! Clouds...shapes, and a patch of blue ! See the beauty...or the ugly...or...just the dots that connect all! That hug...that big...that massive sprawl! Choose your inspiration ! Or don't...and just write Scattered or collected as they may be... Jumbled thoughts From this brain of mine Quote
