The rose is a plant
That has it's own bed;
I'm writing this poem
To end this thread.

This thread shall not be long,
This thread shall not bend,
It shall not be worthy of song,
It shall now end.

At poems I fail
Like sunshine in the north west
so eat my haiku

The road goes on
and follow it I will.
But this thread chills
and sees no more dawns.

Time is not dawn,
You speak too soon!
For have you gone
To the dark side of the moon?

I claim this thread
I am it's end
All else dying or dead
And no time to lend.

This thread simply leaves me aghast
But posting in it is a blast
It'll be fun to see
If this one will be
A contributing post, or the last.

A three letter post is a shame
Can't you find something less lame?
Rondel or haiku
Or a sonnet would do
Come on, keep your head in the game!

There once was a man from old Hatrack
Who won the Poem thread, now please keep track
The winner was me
As you all can see
So don't write any more or I'll be back.

Roses may be red
and violets are definitely blue,
but your poem leaves me with dread
That it would be this thread's adieu.

Some roses are red
Violets are sort of blue
This is a haiku

This thread may be labeled "The First Generation"
But this post, I think, will see its termination.

What place have flowers,
At any threads center?
Fun akin to counting hours
Or plucking jagged splinters.

For I am certain indeed
Flowers outght to be stricken
This thread shall proceed
As a discussion of kittens.

Please save your Tofu traipsing,
For chicken tastes mighty deluxe.
If poultry eating is wasting
Tofu in all forms just sucks.*

Just short of writing little?

with yarn is made a sweater,
a sweater to keep me warm,
with pen is wrote a letter,
a letter to send back home.

With the spirit within my glove,
I tell her what she misses.
In this letter I send my love,
endind in hugs and kisses.

with its twisted threads

The gnarly tale construed,
by those who cannot hear.
A seat tacky as glued,
someone get them a beer.

A tale without end, no doubt,
make those without ear, to shout.
Flustered, they move,
chair stuck in a grove,
and beer in the fridge is all out.

"this post doesn't count

what it is, is what it was
modestly posted
although in straight line form
The poet should be toasted

This thread nearly died.
Victory was nearly Oshki's.
Had that been, I'd have cried.
So I'm resurrecting this thread rightly.

Rail, rail now against the thread that is known by "Last Poem",
Lash out and deny it's fearful lyricism, it's structures
Denying, by the last breath that flows from our mouths, denied
Into the depths of cold, fearful, cyberspace plunged

I am America with letters all around,
I hope the rules fall like rain
Smashing upon the negro colored street
Remembering that I've forgotten
The letters were never there at all.

To be last, or not to be last: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous poems,
Or to take arms against a sea of posts,
And by opposing end them? Now die, now sleep!

Like braggart dogs remiss to silence
Or gossips loath to hold peace

There was a second there
When I was falling
And you were falling
When I thought
“I could get used to this”
Then the ground knocked
Some sense into me.

What little ditty could ever suffice
to serve as a terminus rather than splice
the ditties above and the ditties below?
It may not be for ye scribblers to know.

Behooveth it not ye to expect to fail?
Why should "I'm last!" forever ye rail?
Accept that your rimes shall be merged
and their terminal import be purged.

My feeble attempt to stay on the first page
Has almost all but faded
And yet if this is not the end
I truly will be jaded.

For I have seen a vision true
Of this poem being the last
Therefor this post is closed to you
Unlocked, but holding fast.

Can I do aught but respond,
To your ill concealed ploy?
Thoughts another post have spawned
Don't even try to act coy
For if I allow
You'll trick me some how
And this thread will fail,
Your filth on its' tail.

Some day
Ages and ages hence
When the sun is old
And the universe has wound down to a wobble
The words "Last Post!" will be typed
For truly the last time
And the last user
On the last Internet terminal
Will log out of Hatrack
And the lights will go out
And all will be silent.
