Venefyxatu Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Venefyxatu enters the banquet hall, looking somewhat out of place among the poets that frequent this part of the Mighty Pen. Tanny and I were talking a few minutes ago ... or rather, complaining to each other about various little frustrations. One thing led to another and before I knew it I found myself accepting a challenge to put these frustrations into poetry. Feel free to add your own irritations here Computerstorewebsites Information. Lines upon lines Or hardly three words. It doesn't matter, For what is sought Is omitted. Different terms Mean the same thing. They all say the same Or maybe they don't. Try to figure It out yourself. He grins at the people who've tried to make him write poetry in the past, then shimmers out of view again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuchan Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) My part in the challenge... ~~~~~~~~~~ Indents Click... click... done. Preview. Ewww. Try again... click... click... ... Sighs. How easy it is writing in paper using indents in neat verses... Now go through clicking infinite times previewing a bunch sighing each time: Indent comes and double-spacing.Indent goesand so does the spacing. Back the indent mixed spacing...Indent twisted into garbled words... ... there goes the keyboard flying in frustration. ~~~~~~ And a haiku: Clicking happily thinking indents are easy. Preview. How naive... Edited October 31, 2005 by Tanuchan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayshela Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 oh, i can't resist this one, though perhaps i should. I hear the phone ring four times, then five before a cheery voice carols "Good morning!" I begin to tell her why I've called today but thirty seconds is all the time she has to spare for me, then i hear "You need to talk to *this* person!" and i'm on hold before my mouth has opened to ask her why. The phone rings again, three times, then four, and the person i've been sent to has again sent me on to someone else and i'm on hold again silently wondering, how can i get the runaround when i haven't even moved?

Mynx Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Choices What are the right ones to make? What I am told is right by you Or what I feel? In the end, who does it affect most? You'd think my choices are my own But I have to make you all happy, don't I Why is it so difficult to understand? I can make my own decisions I mean, it is my life, right? ... Right?
