I once made one up for my younger sister. It was:
Ever grinning Losing, winning Laughing, crying Even sighing Never thinking LIFE IS STINKING!
I'm so sweet.

You know, I thought there were more creative people here at Hatrack. I'm kind of surprised more people haven't stepped up with poems of their own. Guess ya'll just aren't cool like Hester and me. Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :
I just can't Stop. I've been writing these things all day in class with my students.

Such is my immature sense of humor. And I really can't stop. I would rather be grading papers, but these stupid poems keep pooping up. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :

I love 8th graders. They crack me up.

I went to high school with a girl who was quite a gifted poet. She wrote a poem in class once that was very good, so she submitted it for inclusion into the school newspaper. It was politically charged, but no one saw anything really offensive about it. It wasn't until after it was printed and distributed that someone noticed that it was an acrostic. I can't remember the full text of the poem, but the first letters were:
F * * K
Y O U
I think she got suspended.

This one i write for a very close friend.
À une Demoiselle de Galice
C’est avant tout ton brillant regard pétillant, Hôtesse de mes sourires revivant rougissant, Riant des pitreries que tu m’offres avec joie, Irradiant de ton chant, de ton son, de ta voix Scintillante, réchauffant mon ouïe, mes prunelles. Ta douceur a filtré mes langoureuses douleurs, Evacuant toutes ces mélancoliques humeurs. Libératrice de cette prison, je te fais Le serment de te rendre un jour tout ce bienfait, Et tu garderas en mon cœur une place éternelle,
Ma Christelle.

Two acrostic limerics:
Breaching the natural borders Outlandish ideas and orders Outlaws so bold and Kings' magic gold Send chills up the spines of book hoarders
Caught in the lure of the site Replying and posting all night As eyes fall out Still I will shout How all my opinions are right!

Torpid waves of paper stacking Over-arching deadlines crashing Only once per lifetime can you die.
Murd'rous e-mail from your bosses Urgent pleas from forlorn spouses "Call for you, it's Hatrack on wi-fi."
Watching who is having trouble Op'ning threads that burst a bubble Right now you should just Klick the big red "x".
