Rhymed [chat]lets are terrible

Rhyming couplets are really bad! Even when they are good, they are still really bad.

"Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside."

You can do better, poets!


Much better is the Sonnet:

Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy Will,
And Will to boot, and Will in over-plus;
More than enough am I that vexed thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?
The sea, all water, yet receives rain still,
And in abundance addeth to his store;
So thou, being rich in Will, add to thy Will
One will of mine, to make thy large will more.
Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill;
Think all but one, and me in that one Will.

Spicy!



But best of all is the newer forms:

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which I will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh...And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you so quite new


Welcome to Valentine's Day, and to poem [chat]!

    Even when it's good, it's still pretty awful. You can do better, poets!

    @spool32

    You forgot this one:

    When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
    I all alone beweep my outcast state,
    And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
    And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
    Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
    Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
    Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
    With what I most enjoy contented least;
    Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
    Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
    Like to the lark at break of day arising
    From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
    For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
    That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

    Roses are one of several colors from white to pink to red to yellow and many others
    Violets are also actually one of a lot of colors, Wikipedia says that they are "ranging from violet, through various shades of blue, yellow, white, and cream, whilst some types are bicolored, often blue and yellow."

    This is the new poem, it has been decided.

    Worst part of listening to music when I am out is I want to sing along with a lot of the songs.

    But in public so I don't.

    Fun times. Watching match previews where they expect us to lose. We won 2-0. Could have been 5-0 easily. Fuck the haters.

    what is wrong with me [chat]?!

    @Mim
    Just apply. Fuck it. The worst they can do is say no, and they wont even do it to your face so there is no awkward moments.
    Load up your resume into a goddamn job cannon and shoot them straight into the motherfucking jobosphere. You only have to dupe one person into hiring you. Then you get skills!

    [Verse 1: Miley Cyrus]
    I be in the club standing on the couch
    In them Wolf Greys like it's my house
    Drinking out the bottle, I got no respect
    Looking like a model, who just got a check
    I back it up, cause I don't give a fuck
    If you're a lame, that's a shame you can't hang with us
    I'm MC Hammer fly, you can't touch
    J's so fly I should work at Flight Club

    [Bridge: Miley Cyrus]
    Put on my J's and dance the whole night away
    I'm naughty by nature like I'm hip-hop hooray
    With my hands in the sky, I wave 'em from side to side
    My feet on the floor, I'm 'bout to turn up now

    [Hook: Miley Cyrus]
    I'm in the club high off purp with some shades on
    Tatted up, mini skirt with my J's on

    Oh valentines day. Let's see how long the Mrs. and I can stay up after we put the little one to sleep.

    Whereas we're usually in bed by 10, the wine we plan on having tonight will likely make that 9.
