Good. Gravy.
I've been looking at my book of song lyrics.
I have...(counts) 75 sets of lyrics to choose from.
Out of over 120 sets of lyrics I've written since August 31st.

...That's it! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY CREATIVELY INSANE.

...That's a good one!
Creatively insane
Looking over my book at the window pane...

Reeves...

You do realize that if I am going to win this, I'm going to have to kill you.

You can try to beat me down
But fail, you surely will
And I'll still be clowning around
With my mad poet skills
cool Bwaha.

You can rhyme all you want!

But my free verse will leave you breathless!

Wait... was I just bragging?

Ew!

What am I talking about!

I suck at everything!

;__;

I guess I got carried away...

Mehehehehe.

I just got out of the shower and thought of another poem to submit. This one's all in good fun, though. Not to be judged. It's probably more of a lyric than a poem, though. ^^;


Burnination

BURNINATION!
TEMPTATION!
ASIAN INVASION!
MIGRATION!
EMULATION SENSATION SWEEPING ACROSS THE NATION!

So I'm walking to school one day
(Though in real life I don't, but that's okay!)
And out of nowhere, I hear screams and shouts,
I start to run, looking for someone to help out.

And I see, to the right of me
A huge bonfire, a burning of a tree
A load of Asians, dance their out their hearts galore!
As they sing, cheer, scream until their lungs are sore.

BURNINATION!
TEMPTATION!
ASIAN INVASION!
MIGRATION!
EMULATION SENSATION SWEEPING ACROSS THE NATION!

I look at the dancers curiously
And think to myself, Are they doing this seriously?
I wondered if I should stop them
Until among them, I see my friend, Jem!

"Jem!" I shout, "What the heck are you doing?"
And Jem looks at me and moves his hands like he's shooing!
Shooing me away, how dare he!
Joining these people, and making them see

A

BURNINATION!
TEMPTATION!
ASIAN INVASION!
MIGRATION!
EMULATION SENSATION SWEEPING ACROSS THE NATION!

...(dies laughing)
Oh, man, that was classic!

Here's a song by me, because I feel like it...

Melodramatic Romance
by Belinda Roddie

The king, concealing his pride, asks to the girl to come inside,
kisses her hands and neck and whispers lyrics to a song.
Then, taking her in her gossamer gown, he leads her to a dungeon deep down
and in the torchlight tends to her all night long.

Melodramatic romance oh well melodramatic romance

The guards arrive upon the scene, eyes upon their brand new queen.
The old one's not too happy, packs her bags and leaves the town.
Then two years later in ember light, the king kisses his love good night,
and traitors to the throne will send him six feet underground.

Melodramatic romance oh well melodramatic romance

Shakespeare could have written a tragedy like that,
but would the essence be there in the lovers' summer dance?
Handwritten words on dry parchment aren't strong enough for that,
it's the essence drawn together that makes a good melodramatic romance.

Melodramatic romance oh well oh well melodramatic romance

*Sharpens knife*

Wait!

Damn...

Erm...

While you scrub up I'll get some toast...for... you...

Yes.

...Just for that, no toast for j00.
And I'm putting down another song.
Bwahahahaha. BWAHAHAHA!

Numbers
by Belinda Roddie

12 dancers in the sunset kicking up their heels
11 shots of romance as my hard head reels
10 crazy rock 'n' roll songs crashing in my ears
9 mental breakdowns left over from all these years

8 languages I'm speaking in, I'm getting looks
And 7 sacred moments written down in books
6 steps into the future 'fore I start to crack
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, it's back

What's over is over, I don't give a damn
I had a hunch that you'd never really understand
The comets are all singing, but they're all out of tune
The cold season's over, I'll see you after the monsoon

The boils on my fingers, they continue to swell
My teeth are set on edge at the sound of 13 bells
And we now that this psychadelic nightmare won't end
It's 50 times I'll say it, and 100 times again

What's over is over, I don't give a damn
I had a hunch that you'd never really understand
The comets are all singing, but they're all out of tune
The cold season's over, I'll see you after the monsoon

The cold season's over in the storm of the monsoon
False numbers flashing in my head, I'll be seeing you soon

And here's another for all y'alls, slightly free-verse, sometimes rhyming:

Inactive
by Belinda Roddie

Shield your eyes
From the blazing sun that trickles golden lies
See the trickster
As he snickers, spreads his wings and flies away
The buildings are all falling down
The vacuum's raging, nothing's making a sound
Your head is set to question mode

Open sighs
Heavens wailing as the archangel dies
Waste the moment
That holds fast 'til there's nothing left but skies
The chapel's relics crumbling
And the aging pillars slowly tumbling down
Your thoughts are reaching overload

Nothing really matters
In a damp, abandoned world
We've done nothing
That's exactly why they left
We've done nothing
That's exactly why He left


Depressing enough for ye? biggrin

I was seriously considering entering this, as I love poetry and have dabbled a bit in it myself.
Now, however, after reading all of the ones posted already I've determined that I haven't got a chance.
