Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
Hey, I missed the new thread creation. Oh well.
I have to write a poem as part of an English assignment, and it has to be at least 12 lines, and haiku and limericks are banned. What am I supposed to do?My Homebrew

Any other rules about the poem creation? Rhyming, etc?

They tried... it still ate them as its primary source of food. Omnomnom, and whatnot.

And remember, poems don't have to rhyme... (Though the good ones do, in my opinion)

Whenever I write poetry, it turns out crappy. Probably because I hate sentimentality but I can't help but be that way anyway. Contradictory? Maybe just a bit. ;)

I just pretend to be sentimental, and it works.
Throw some words together, mention stuff like how flowers are like sunshine, and bam!

Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
Oh, an this poem is part of an assignment where I have to analyse a partner's favourite song choice in detail and find rhetorical devices in the song and it has a visual component and blah blah blah blah I hate it with a passion.
The poem can be about "your partner, your partner's song choice, the meaning of the song, your experience with the project" or anything else tangentially related, basically. And the only restrictions I can see are "12 lines, no haikus, no limericks".
Oh, and I can be quite good at fake sentimentality/meaning when I want to be - I call it "Brain Barf", because its like I upchuck the most philosophical parts of my brain onto the page and reword it to make it look nice.Last edited by Shadow_Elf; 2009-09-28 at 10:48 PM.

I love sentimentality, but somehow that just makes it so much worse. I refuse to inflict Pyrian poetics upon the populace.

You can't have a twelve line limerick or haiku anyway, so no worries there. Limericks are usually just 6, if I recall...
My partner is a silly git
observing this musicianship
on par with a wet blanket,
It makes me retch so
his poor discernment
in how he tunes his radio
If he had any taste
whether palate or ear
he'd spit out this waste
Dashing it across the rocks
and heading to the music shoppe
for something to truly take off socks
A Pyrian Poem would not belong
upon my funerary pyre
Nay, 'twould far better be for it
to adorn a tag, wrapped in pink
Emblazoned with a salmon
or a cute light lime
Perhaps worn about the collar
of a pretty little kitty
Tabby I think, or at least a ginger
purring all the while in hand, and
Presented to a dear heart
or at least an appropriate sissy.

Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
heh... catchy.
I thought it was funny, mostly because it didn't make much sense to me.
then again, I seldom pay attention to anything anyways, soooo...
EDIT: oohh... another one.
I like that 2nd one even more.Last edited by KataraAltinaII; 2009-09-28 at 11:03 PM.

Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
psh... by that logic, Giant Reptiles FTW.
besides, if we left this planet for a year for whatever reason, Nature would easily reclaim a lot of the stuff we think we have "dominated".
and that's jsut a year. imagine if it was 25 years, or 100, or 5,000...

Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
But the same is true of any species.
However, we currently rule everything. That's no mean feat. (And as all giant reptiles are dead, we know how to control Saltwater Crocodiles (or we did when Steve was here...), and we know to steer clear of Hippos... we just rock.)

But we're boring. Aside from the whole "Civilization" thing, we've got nothing cool. Even Ravens can use tools, and fly. He can't even vomit out our stomachs. Plus, we've only been here a bit. If we can hold on to the planet without ruining it for more than a million years, then I'll be impressed.

Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
except the fact that Mother Nature > everything else [ > PS3, because that joke never gets old ]
ultimately, if Mother Nature wants something gone, she'll take care of it. Humans merely are an *insert antonym for catalyst here* against her.
I mean, right now, it looks like Giant Pandas are going down. sure we can probably slow the process, but ultimately, now that they're on MN's list, they won't be here for long.Last edited by KataraAltinaII; 2009-09-28 at 11:27 PM.

Re: KataraAltinaII's Premature Not So Short & To-The-Point Random Banter #130
Thank you, I just felt like being a bit silly and seeing what I'd whip up. I wonder how Pyrian will react.
...*thought bubbles* Probably with a machete to my face, but, ah well.
Wow. Well, I hope you don't have bad taste in music then.
So how did two guys who are in school together come to be on this site anyway?

We still rule 'em. You know, when we feel like it, we can kill anything and everything in any ocean you can care to name.
But it's true, physically speaking, we're the lamest species on earth. We're the only ones to stand up wonkily on two legs without a tail, and though we're the smartest, we kill more of us than other animals do.
