Verse and Worse (by Ket)

I figure I might occasionally post poems I've written...
LIKE THIS ONE! HUTTAH! I wrote it for a school assignment, quite a while ago. It's not that great; any feedback would be appreciated...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ita erat quando hic adveni

Now I would impart to thee
My seraphic soliloquy
Which represents the public’s popular view;
We civil citizens have finally bit off more than we can stand to chew.

In other words, we can’t endure
Our conversations clean and pure
Being twisted, spoiled, dismembered, fallen, slain
By those whose mouths are larger than their brains.

When conversation we enact,
A miscreant comes to break our act.
Trying to put an end to discourse he can’t understand,
He interrupts with language so inept, it’s just as dirty as his hands.

Wash out your mouth with soap, you brute!
I don’t mean my own horn to toot,
But vital members of society
Have better grammar, manners, and eschew profanity.

Unless you’re able to reform,
We’ll have to force you to conform
And no self-respecting citizen would ever want to see
You strapped to chairs, enduring hours of horrifying psychotherapy.

Erase that cursing from your speech,
To higher heights your grammar reach
Lest we should have to make you take a walk
Or spend a little time with our associate Dr. Spock.

What a fun poem! I loved it it; it was very amusing, and had me laughing! An excellent concept, and one with which I highly agree. I look forward to reading more of your poetry!

Thanks very much, Selah! Any suggestions on how to improve it?

Eventually I'll post something that I've written more recently. I just need to sit down and write; I've been very lazy lately...

Well, this isn't very good but what the hey. I like haiku. Here are two I've written spontaneously, for your viewing/booing pleasure:

Numero Uno
Raindrop on my face.
I smile at looming storm clouds,
Close my weary eyes.

Numero Dos
When in winter's chill
We find the warmest embers
Burn from within us.
