Our Poetry

LOL Pino, don't quit your day job lad.

I learned this one in high school, author unknown.

You can do what ever you think you can but you will never accomplish more for if you are afraid of yourself young man there is nothing for you in store.

For failure comes from inside first it's there if you only knew it, and you can win though you face the worst if you feel you can DO IT.

Viva la Pinochet.

The Germans are well educated,

the French well dressed.

The Irish have talent, and the Americans are polite.

The British are none of these things.

Dedicated to Scooby-Doo, The Redheaded Commie of Scotland

There once was a man named Pinochet.
He killed Commies for sport, or so they say.
He blew up Santiago, and chased down that devil Allende,
Smashing his Red Army, chasing the Russians, Chinese and Cubans away.
He believed in God and country, and knew Karl Marx was a bum.
Free people everywhere love him, for hunting down and killing Commie scum.

The meter is off....you can't start verse with a defined meter, and then go to free form...or vice versa...it doesn't work.

I guess those that can't write, critique. LOL

Not even with poetic licence. You seem to try an make it work, why are you allowed and not him?You fit your own description, don't you, LOL.

Star climb, midget in a hat.
Bar fight, gibblets and a cat.

Explanation:
A midget in a hat is a pretty difficult thing to accept after climbing the ***ing stars, and the rewards for risking your neck in a bar fight are far too unsubstantiative.

The gibblets are undoubetly fake, and how are we to assume the poet is serious about the cat?

You've never read my poetry, drnaline....how would you know what I can work?
I've sold out of my 6th edition...how many books have you sold?
And that would be "poetic license" ....still refuse to use a dictionary, eh?
My uncle used to say, a "hard head, will always make a soft behind". You ol' softie, you!

Not everything passing as fare, is poetry....
Perhaps you could explain the piece and where it originates from...for context' sake, since you presented it....and the author?

It didn't originate from a larger work, I stole it from my friend Mark, he was drunk a few nights ago and started babbling, I happened to remember it. It's as much poetry as anything else in the genre for authors who lack enough skill to write prose.
