Once upon a midnight dreary...
As I pondered reality
and it's surly weak and weary wandering
into the realms of broken laws, forgotten answers and
briefly glimpsed glances at previous enigmatic joys,

quoth the timepiece ; Now

I stumbled in my preoccupation,
the morbid depths of my reflections,
surfaced gasping in the present
and my attention grasped this new-found toy

quoth the timepiece ; NOW

Quickly, in my fascination,
I realised I had already lost it,
the slippery-slide of time, mocking
mocking at my futile grasping
the merely glancing of my mind
too slow, too slow
to ever know this thing called 'now'

quoth the timepiece ; NOW

I stumble in my preoccupation,
the morbid depths of my reflections,
surface gasping in the present
and my attention grasps this new-found toy.
My frustrated philosophic wranglings have consumed an hour!
A creeping horror underwhelms me that my musings have so compelled me.
Determination sets my jaw and I determine to explore ;
this vastly entertaining mystery, this deviously perplexing sea
that carries me, clawing, drowning, desperately imploring,
for my ignorance to end with one mere glimpse of the waiting shore ;

Nevermore!

Just got out of the shower.

I've been doing this and that around the house.

I'm making some 'chicken and broccoli' flavored rice. I am still deciding what type of meat to have.

Did anyone read my poem on the bottom of the previous page?

Even if you don't like it, at least give it a look!
It took 2 hours!

My reading comprehension is terrible. I'm probably the worst person to offer my opinion of a poem, but, I'd say that you definitely have a talent for writing. I can tell you put alot of thought and effort into it. Give yourself a pat on the back.


I'm sorry but, I've never really read a poem, or a book, for that matter. So, I'm afraid that's all I have to offer, without anything to compare it to.

thanks jawbrodt!

Now you can say you've read one poem in your life, at least!

the poem has a simmilar style to edgar allen poes

^Syz, thank you for the experience.

That was a pretty cool poem, I saw some similarities of my own life in it.

It's actually a complete bastardisation of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.
I'mTheGuyThatDidThat posted it here a few weeks ago....
I hope he shows up here again soon!

I think I'm going to call it a night, very soon.

Night jb.


Guess I'll head off for a while too,
since B , dc and I'mTheGuyThatDidThat,
the only ppl who usually post here at this time of night,
are all no shows at the moment,
and Dr Who is just about to start,
I'll tune in tomorrow and catch up with you all.

It's Monday for me here in Aus then and I can't really do much but
play the word association game.
It's good enough for me!
Composing even the simplest post
totally sucks the energy out.

I am back on, it is a bit late as I have been doing things, I am watching Dr who.

I wonder what is going on there.
