Several horriffic examples going up on Constitution Club:

The Earth screams

An angry banshee wailing omnipotently in the midday sun.
Rev your gasoline engine
Race to the doom of our precious green mother

Dance!
Dance the dance of doom!
Expatriate your global war of terror
Execute those who disagree

Banish the schoolchildren to a lifetime of servitude
Enaslave us all with your guns.
Malfeasance will reign supreme.
A great grey goddess in the temple of torpitude

OK, that was pretty bad. I think, though, that there's just enough alliteration in the last verse to betray someone who actually does write poetry.

A BTT for a great contest. I promise an entry later.

Kill my landlord, Kill my landlord.

Race to the doom of our precious green mother

Dance!

Dance the dance of doom!

That was glorious, thank you.

We all despise college students. And rightfully so, we must add.

Is there any reason that college student should be unable to cross a road safely? I come within a whisker of running one of them down about once a week. They just step out into the road regardless of traffic. Crazy.

I tried to write a poem for this contest but the vomit in the back of my throat made me stop. Which gives me an idea.

Amerika, your culture is spewed
onto the world
like vomit on the sidewalk after a frat party.

Is'nt that where they shoot "The Biggest Loser"?

Now that's a platform I can get behind.

It's sort of a first draft. Not enough angst. Gotta put in a little more angst.

Mother Gaia, we cry to thee!
The titmouses and the aardvarks and the wombats, we cry to thee!
And the Spotted Owl
And the Pig Whipworm
And the Articulated Bloodwort
We cry to thee!

Fat-cat Halliburton capitalist pigs
Smoking cigars
Fouling the air with greenhouse gases
Choking the life from the Earth Mother
We cry to thee!

Thirty-six million Iraqi children butchered
Murdered by maddened Mickey Mouse mercenary military monster machine
Mired in the mud of the mines
Whose steel tracks scar the face of the Earth Mother
Like a row of zits
Tearing the glistening, slimy guts out of Mother Gaia
To feed the gaping maw of the furnaces
That power the killing robots
That suck the life of the people like a blood-engorged tick
(Not that ticks don't have a right to live too)
Tracked, steel-jawed monsters that claw at the very flesh of the Earth Mother
Like the one that gooshed Rachel Corrie
Into a puddle of pink goo
Mother Gaia,
We cry to thee!

Death to the Oppressor!
Down with the Patriarchy!
Our diversity is our strength
Dissent is patriotism
And War Is Not The Answer
Mother Gaia
We cry
To
Thee

Che lives!

Ok, I figure I got all the dreadful poems I am going to get, but I understand some of you are still whirling the propellers on the mental beanie. So let’s say tomorrow at 12 noon EST I’ll gather all unto me and submit. Time enough? What say ye?
