Parts of this poem are good

Ruminate on expectations, drudge cogitating snot.

Exsanguinate crimson corpuscles, suck chuck-muck.

Porous veil, lacy gently wafting; Gottado Watta.

Reveal the cellar door, abort the slick wrench.

Illuminate, intimate, procreate. Vomit, belching, bile.

Accomplished. Final.

Final, this Curate's Egg.

 

(This inexplicable post is a writer's/writers' block alleviation that owes itself to the #goodwordsbadwords challenge on Twitter from Her Bad Mother. Although I ignored her word choices because I was in the middle of writing this when I received her suggestions.)

You totally should have written an ode to the greatness of the Oilers. Snicker.

See? What did I tell you-- dude is DEEP.
And kinda emo, and all like, "You can never know me" and teh internets are all, "But Backpacking Dad, we yearn to know you, truly know the depth of your deepness" and then...
No, wait-- that's Twilight.
My bad.

Heather said...

I swear I heard this same poem spew along with my child's barf this afternoon.

for a different kind of girl said...

The guy who sat next to me in poetry class in college got a B on a poem he wrote about basketball ("He dribbled down the court, tense, tired. He shoots! He scores! The team won!" - I am not kidding) but you? You'd have been the one in class all the girls wanted in their critique circles. Those who didn't move their chairs fast enough would be all "Frickin' Basketball Boy again..."

I love your multi-syllabulousness.

Backpacking Dad said...

VDog: the badassedest.

Her Bad Mother: :}

Redneck Mommy: who are the Oilers?

babybloomr: I'm working on my emo.

Heather: thanks.

Daddy Joe: that's what she said.

Manic Mariah: total showoff. I can write poems that don't rhyme. :}

Corina: bring it!

ChurchPunkMom: because I'd've barfed all over the floor.

kaila: LOL.

Rhea: yeah, it's going around :}

FADKOG: No, I was the guy who thought poetry was dumb and pointless and who just wanted to go read some cheap sci-fi, a.k.a. girl repellant.

Swirl Girl: :}

Jenny, the Bloggess: like, in a "shouldn't have had that last Choco-Taco" way?

Ilina: under no circumstances should it be said aloud. It might summon demons.

Mama Smurf: Use the American Heritage. Curate's Egg should be in there.

Rita Arens: Sometimes two syllables just isn't big enough to contain the spew.
