    ? . . .

    is that your poem, bookworm . . . ?

    anyways, cheer up! it's not where you end up that counts, it's how you get there. 'cause we all end up dead anyways!

    umm . . . . OK, perhaps that wasn't the most cheerful thing. But cheer up anyways. we love you! and existentialism/nihilism/solipsism (i never can tell them apart) are cool.

    So happy we have an extended date. I will have to think of one when I am out shopping for gifts. Maybe by the 16th I can come up with a little one at least. I have some ideas. Thanks for extending the contest.

    This is my first free poem, without any rhythm and rhyme. I know it will be a heck but couldn't resist writing it down.

    I am always unhappy
    When I stop and think
    Wake up and see what I am

    I pushed her away when she asked me out
    But I shouted, cried and wept bitterly
    When the one I loved went for another man

    While driving a car, I saw a begger
    She asked me for money for her good
    I shouted and sweared at her

    In the meetings I talk about helping poor
    Never did anything for them personally
    Here I am dead sure

    I am the one who provokes women rights
    Every women should have them
    Other than my sister, daughter, mother and wife

    Peace, peace, peace and peace
    That's what I say I always preach
    But my own house resembles war ground everyday

    Leg-pulling is what I do even with those,
    Whom I call my very dear friends
    Listen up friends! This is my profession

    I like it when I am busy
    Everything is then so different
    From when I wake up and see
    Realize what really I am!

    I am a politician
    A f****** b******!
    I have always thought free verse harder to write than form poetry, but you did very well, Pensy. I just cannot imagine you as even writing the last line, for you certainly are not that type of person! Too kindhearted! But, yeah, we all have our days when we snap and snarl at the world like a rabid dog!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    I don't know. I just have a bad opinion about most of the politicians. (wouldn't give out the names for the sake of forum rules.) You might think that it is too cruel of me to say - but there are many politicians in this world who deserve to be hanged, in my opinion.

    Kill thousands of people for their sake. Promisses people and never fulfill those promises. Talk about an individual's rights and are always the ones who violate those rights. Say that if they will take the charge, things would get better and those things never get better, sometimes get even worse. Power-hungrey most of them are. I just can't help hating such types.

    I don't say that there are not good leaders/politicians in this world, but by seeing most of them in my country, I have come to this conclusion.

    Not really to cruel. I can think of some I'd probably take to the "necktie party" (old West for a hanging) myself!

    Here is my entry! Finished it last night. It doesn't have a title yet. Suggestions would be welcome, though. PM me. Thank you!




    The throbbings of age
    And the Immanent Song brought her to life
    A thousand beastial stares she had to withstand
    While carrying the burden of false principles on her back

    From her twisted mouth flowed twisted ideals
    But she runs, to the pebbles of light
    But the fingers of debauchery were freed from its chains

    And with an anguished cry she fell,
    Withered,
    Pasted in the pages of History.
    Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
    the whole boatload of sensitive !

    — Allen Ginsberg, Howl II.

    I'm almost done with mine, Reisa. Please don't close the contest yet. I just need to touch up. I promise I will post it by Friday, which is quite appropriate for this self-portrait since Friday is my birthday. *hint, hint*
