"bettyeggleton": rhyme is a construct of time
SnowAngel: let it rhyme when it rhymes
bettyhttp://www.formguidelines.rhyme.com.uk
you are here and in this I trust
must be rhyme and must we speak
the best poetry in life we seek
that's the tenet of this forum
maintaining the highest decorum
appreciated only by the upper crust
and those with very large breasts



we project a space with no floor, no walls
we exist but cannot rest
are watchful but have no shadows

Artaud: hello room
Magichex_g leads Art to the couch

Riskybusiness: that doesn't look like something Artaud would say
Artaud: .
Artaud: it's a silent movie
Riskybusiness: lol
Artaud: THE MISTAKE IS IN THE FACT...
Artaud:The mistake is in the fact that a being is created above and beyond the body
Artaud: .
Artaud: and that it shivers
Artaud: in a pillar of soot
Artaud: and scrapings

ABANDONED IN THE FIREY LAVA
THE SISTERS DANCE A PAGAN SONG
and hold each other
et si arebus
until the young moon goes down
and lays upon a cloud rack
paratus et infinitum
in God's hands
sonnet leaves the conversation
and I walk in
covered with ash
carpagio et enigmas
and I walked
no one knows why
no
no one
no one
no
I did not loose my faith
and what I had to say was so sublime
that the mere utterance was music


ADDENDUM TO SUBSECTION TWO
SECTION IV: that which is correct shall be correct unless it is wrong; line must sound like the before line or line must have green in it three times; that which contains a there where there is no where there will stay here

I'll poetry if I choose to stay in
I'll riot if I go out

oh betty so sweet i crave her
betty is a right little raver
sweet like a cherry lifesaver
yummmmm melts in your mouth
and tastes like cheese
jeeez this makes me sneeze
oh the lady will never die
the lady will never die
nay but she will often lie
in a patch of homespun webs
in a forum of horny plebs

chain_g: drunk enough
         and bored enough
         shattered in a
         wood coffin
         on some boot hill
         a young gun
         screaming "howdy"
         flashing cold steel
         from his hip
         like dark lightning
