vrbryant: The next Robert Frost?

or Charles Manson? from his homepage linked on his profile:

I Sang Her A Sonnet
by V. R. Bryant

I opened up my mouth and out it came:
A lovely, rhythmic song in basic meter.
Regretfully she could not do the same,
So I resigned to murder, cook and eat her.
The former task turned out to take the least
Amount of effort, but I must admit that
The contemplation of the coming feast,
Consideration of a place to sit at,
And every other thing a chef must do
To fix a meal that’s fit to meet his palate
Proved more than adequate distraction to
Forget the law and club her with a mallet.
My only wish is that my reasoning
Was on par with my choice of seasoning.

Sounds like someone with an eating disorder. :(

 

[osugrad21]

Yes, well done in Shakespearean form...


Impressive, anything in Petrarchan form for the Italians?

 

[vrbryant]

Had to write it to get into a class. Haven't heard back from the prof yet. *cough*

Sorry, grad. I don't write too much poetry.

[vrbryant]

lol, come on. It's not that bad.

 

[osugrad21]

It's not that bad.

in a Hannibal Lector kind of way....

 

[vrbryant]

*sigh* Well, for the record (and for any authorities who may or may not be listening), I have neither killed nor eaten any people. Scout's honor.

 

[Thump]

Was that written in iambic pentameter?

 

[BuckeyeInTheBoro]

I have neither killed nor eaten any people. Scout's honor.

Oh yeah, like someone who has would tell the truth about it?

 

[Mr.FuzzyPants]

Tibor, it seems like you go out of your way to be obnoxious....

 

[vrbryant]

I think his reaction was entirely warranted. I just didn't expect anybody to see it.

Thump: Yes.

BitB: Good point.

That reminded me of this Eddie Murphy classic:

Images
by Tyrone Green:

All alone on a summers night,
kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Watchdog barking, do he bite?
Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.
Slip in his window, break his neck,
Then his house I start to wreck,
Got no reason, what da heck?
Kill my landlord,
kill my landlord,
kill my landlord.
C-I-L-L my LAND Lord.

better watch out vr... I found this on CNN today:
Is violent poetry a crime?

I'd be concerned for the kid, but come on... how can this be a crime?
