h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don’t know what to write today
You may all ask yourselves
“Does it matter anyway?”

I say to you all
I’m dumb and tired
If you don’t help me out,
My muse is fired

I don’t usually write this way
I look at another’s work
I hope this poem is okay

Searching for a subject
But my mind is blank
Searching high and low
Why now do I think of a tank?

I am yawning
This is so bad
Boy is this poem boring


Yeah I ahte this one too... I think I'm trying too hard to rhyme

Definitley trying too hard.Just let it flow from you.It's actually easier(and a better poem!)if it doesn't rhyme.

yeah I know... the one I sent to Shazz last night did rhyme but I didnt try and make it that way...

Khamsin khamsin khamsin
when wilt thou learn
a poems a thing you have to earn

I try to learn
but I can't seem to earn
and this burn seems to burn
a hole in my sanity

but if you need to find a rhyme,
it will elude you most of time,
so if you want to be a poet,
don't force rhyme just flow it.....

let it flow into your head
if it wont ryme put it to bed
perfection never should be saught
never seeken all or naught

*burns writers block and dances around it as he does so*

I need to extend my vocab...

nope a vocab you need not,
lots of small words rhymr alot,
and some you can mispell and try,
change the pronuciation oh my.

plus you make some silly English,
like throwing a rhyme of fish,
but then half rhymes works as well,
in fact it can be really swell.....

you are better than me
perhaps I should let you be
my poems may not cause a fuss
though they cause some to scream and cuss

but yet your volumes get more replies,
no matter what the quality of rhymes,
so just the best you can be,
and let me worry about me.....

My admirers are but a few
but what you say is not true
my rhymes get replies
but my poems will never be
as good as Flasmestrike, thys

Please I do not want a fight,
when it is an obvious sight,
that my replies I get one or two,
and you end up with more than a few.

Many replies I may get
but I have a little bet
go read them and you shall see
they be from about two or three

I never saw the point of rhyming much - I can do it,but then I lose my thread of thought about where I want the poem to go.So I don't bother.For me,my style is definitely non-rhyming.

But Kham,you have to find your own style.It might not be ryhmes.Hell,it might not even be non-rhymes.Just you keep working at it,kiddo.

Oh,btw,stop competing with each other about how many replies you get.It's a bit sad.

we aren't competeing he was just saying
Anyways I have written ones that don't rhyme now

the rhyming a lot is practice for me
but you are short and so cannot see
There is a point to all this stuff
Doing the whole lot off the cuff
