Various poems of mine
 

These belong in a different post than my other poem. These are a variety of serious and joke poems that I wrote for a school project about 3 years ago. Be harsh or be kind, I don't care. Just thought I'd share them and see what you guys thought.

Ode to a Paperclip

Oh paperclip, such a marvelous bender
Into many shapes, you I can render
Anything I wish, I can bend you into
If long enough, even the god of Hindu!

That verse was wrong, but I do not care
For I can make you into a reclining chair!
Even better than one, are two of you then,
is the fun times ten!

Even better than two, are three, it's no pain
And with triple that, I can make a chain
and with said chain, I should hang myself
For trying to create a paperclip elf!

Oh paperclip, I now tire of writing
So I will stop, though it's been exciting
What was that? Well, same to you!
It's over, it's done, get out, I'm through!

I've put up with you for way too long
And your addiction too, I found that bong!
Oh wait, that was mine, and that would explain
Why I wrote this paperclip refrain.


The Cow

I had a cow, I named it meat
It was very odd, it had three feet
it had one horn, made of wood
it did not look as it should
it had three eye and half a tail
which I ordered by the mail
it was purple with one black dot
it always grazed in the same spot
it had fleas that had fleas
that had fleas that had fleas
buying that cow was a mistake
but one good burger
it did make

The Storm

There is a calm, before the storm
That is very tense, and filled with fright
There is static about, the air full of heat
This only fuels the storm, making it worse
There is little warning, except dead silence
And the stillness, before the storm breaks
Suddenly it strikes with tremendous force
Filled with lightning and thunder it kills without mercy
Anyone in the way, this will be their last day
As it is without discretion, not caring who it hurts
The winds kick up and are full of anger
It rips up trees and throws them about in rage
It shatters the windows with a storm of hail
and injures those fools who did not take shelter
The wind and rain pick up, buckets of water falling
The thunder and lightning increase as well
Then the air is filled with a horrible yell
When suddenly, it dies off as quick as it came
the rain and the wind, now drizzle and a light breeze
The thunder and the lightning stops, and the people come out
to see what damage the storm hath wrought
The sky is blue, the birds twitter
Dogs bark, and people whisper
The same question, all over town:
Why?
