The higher blade of man Grows quietly now and then In prince’s field. Yet prodigious it soon blooms, Into instances of bad driving, German marching music, And a habit For self-reproduction.
The man inspires A strange and fitful love.
The bomb calls, 5 o’clock, Neumann demurs, Perhaps too busy counting calories. Why not sooner, he says?
“1 o’clock will do me fine.”
Bones cracking, Faust giggling, The blade is cut.
I got this 5 dollar coupon and nobody I know will use it and I already have the tickets.
I am holding a contest for it. may the bravest nerd win
The person who writes me the best poem wins (more realistically the first good poem). You can write about one or more of the following topics (no bonus points for more than one, use your imagination):
Metabolism John von Neumann Butterflies (this one is gonna be really hard; if you write a good poem about butterflies you automatically win.) Lasers
Ok so here's about me and the kind of poetry I like:
I have a degree in English. I don't really like poetry at all. I definitely don't like rhyming poetry, unless the rhyme is internal to the line and irregular. Definitely no pentameter... I'm skeptical of classical metrical convention (unless you write it in Latin - Latin poems also accepted, in which case it MUST be in meter, preferably elegiac or sapphic). It's very important that you make the words sound cool when you say them one after another.
GLHF
edit: it doesn't have to be good but it has to kick a lot of ass
edit again: if nobody writes me a good poem before the coupon expires it will go to waste, don't think I won't do it.

Butterflies are neat. They are much better than moths. I do not like moths.
Haiku? :D
|
If it is haiku it must have the dao.
Your poem does not have the dao
Nice try though.

Ah, I remember hearing a good one somewhere
'butterfly, butterfly fly in the sky butterfly, butterfly flies so high butterfly, butterfly lands on my thigh butterfly, butterfly motionlessly lies butterfly, butterfly gracefully dies '

Butter fly Why named as such Your flight is a dance Silken with poise Butter flies Or does it not Or will it A bovine with wings?
Butter flies Merely wronged Butter fries A better correction
Butter often Alternative to oil Does it fry Or should it fly?
If butter could fly like a cow midair How could our senses Even impaired Fathom the beauty Of a clumsy flight The veiled will scatter But we will ponder In delight At the thought Of a bovine in flight.

Butterfree when shall you learn That fire-types are not of your concern. You have evolved twice, more than most Yet a charmander turns you to toast. What should be of concern is our fight right now because we are against a Gastly, Ka-Pow!
FFFFFFF just read the fine print on the conditions.
Take 2:
Darth Vader is so mean, him and his light sabre wants to kill me! Light sabre in hand Vader skulks towards me I am a tricky one, not relying upon the force to guide me through these times a suit of triangular prisms, just what the doctor ordered! the light sabre swings at me with effortless ease refracting upon collision with the prisms the light beams run askew I pull out my pistol and say 'PEW PEW' My gun is a real one, firing bullets instead of light I 1A and win this fight.
(ironic rhyming ftw?)

Come my lady Come come my lady You're my butterfly Sugar baby Come my lady Come come my lady You're my butterfly Sugar baby Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring And I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill Time is passing I'm asking could this be real 'Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal I can feel too much is never enough You're always there to lift me up When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found Ever since you've been around You're the women that I want So yo, I'm putting it down. Come my lady Come come my lady You're my butterfly Sugar baby Come my lady you're my Pretty baby ill make your legs shake You make me go crazy Come my lady Come come my lady You're my butterfly Sugar baby Come my lady you're my Pretty baby ill make your legs shake You make me go crazy I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message To show me life is precious Then I guess it's true To tell truth, I really never knew I'll I met you I was lost and confused Twisted and used up Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files And yo, what' s happening now? I see the sun breaking shining through dark clouds And a vision of you standing out in a crowd. Come come my lady You're my butterfly Sugar baby
Sorry, it kind of posted itself

There was a fat lady from Spain "My metabolism is slow" she always complained But she ate and she ate Her mouth was an open gate Till her metabolism said "I shan't take the blame!"

All my life I've felt I'm trapped in a cocoon the dark, the still blind, deaf, no future. but I know I am as special as the sun. So I struggle, and live each day, like a broken bird I gracefully endure the rain till the day I grow wings, and like a butterfly, I fly to the place, where I will stay, and forever forget the days of the cocoon...

Two Universes as one Each side beautiful Fucking butterflies

Trolls writing poems about butterflies. Nice.
EDIT: I don't need a coupon, but i felt like writing some nonsense poetry
Metabolism
I haven't brought myself here to be denied he said Clothes dripping in rain and eyes unblinking
The weather-lady warned us of an upcoming baby-shower The news anchor smiled a real smile, then told us the news
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. …and then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers"
We chose to play a pacifist adventure, everyone either a cleric or bard We made the dragons dance, the minotaurs sleep, and helped the orcs declare peace
We went to a bullfight, dad and I, whooped when the toro emerged, Went to get hot dogs, then returned long after it died, quite saddened
Late to my father's funeral, unshowered, unshaved, with only a plain balloon. It was filled with air from the top mount everest. He had always wanted to breathe that air.
Sometimes I dream at night. I write about it as my diary entry the next day It makes my life seem more interesting

Otters are neat They hold hands cutely Swimming backwards simultaneously
Butterflies are better They copulate together While flying backwards
But don't forget Crowds are better Butterflies have flying threesomes.

Dao: A pervasive term in Japanese and Chinese thought, it can roughly be translated as path, the Way, the Truth, and so forth. Rather than a body of rules or beliefs, it refers to a course to be followed or the natural course of things. In Daoist text it implies primarily the innate and spontaneous way of the Universe.
