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

Said one scarf to another
I just do not think it's fair
Every time it's nice and sunny
She don't give us any air
We're just chucked behind the stair
With the creepy crawlies there
Instead of having fun
With her out in the sun

Said the other - you're a great poet
- Though your verses don't quite show it -
So, inspired, let's act as one
And demand our bit of sun
Before the summer's done.

hi jab
i did not know there was a poetry game but i would love a new one to start
what is a poetry game what are the rules what do you do?

love...



She walks, with the grace of a gazelle.
She speaks, with the softness of a butterfly.
Her eyes hold love and tenderness.
Her touch, so gentle like a falling snowflake.
She has charm to melt the walls of Hell.
Her hair flows like pollen on the breeze.
Her caress as warm as a summer night.
Her form designed by the will of the Gods.
To hold her, the greatest triumph of them all.
To find her, is every mans dream, and countless
carry on the search.

Jab

I'm not in at the moment

Subject: warmth

I feel the warmth of your gaze,
Shining rays of light straight through
From your soul, a roaring blaze
That says, "I want you!"

Next subject: Ripening apples

i have got a poem

RCC: The next poem must be posted here, and it should be on the subject specified by the previous poster - Jab

i got one on weather

RCC, after a person has put a poem in the thread, he/she then sayd what the next subject is..
as in Paul H(post 90)"next subject: ripening apples.

Now someone writes or puts in a poem/verse in about that, then they say the next subject

like this

Apples Apples by the score
under the tree, boy do I gore
oh dear oh dear my aching tum
off to the toilet do I run



subject: pretty ladies

(I've only just read post 69. I love it, Jabs! )

Picture a beauty, shoulders rich and fine,
Letting her long hair trail into her wine.
...
Her eyes call mortal beings to the charms
Of ready breasts, between her open arms.
...
The gift of body's beauty is sublime
And draws forgiveness out of every crime.


[Charles Baudelaire, trans. James McGowan: Allegory.]



Sleep.

Sleep:

"HERE is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies, 5
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies "

from "Song of the Lotos Eaters," by Tennyson

Next topic: honor

[Thought you'd like it, Snails, dedication or no dedication - Jab ]

Sonnets XXV: Let those who are in favour with their stars

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars,
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.

Then happy I, that love and am beloved
Where I may not remove nor be removed.

[Shakespeare]
