Building vocabulary does not mean the same thing as developing an original thought. Don't get the two confused. The most cliche poems here are ones that say things like "this disclosure leaves me elated, And simultaneously fills me with fear... it would not be pragmatically impactful." That's bullshit, just Shift-F7 on a crap poem, not meant to do anything but hide the fact that it's the same old stupidity. Don't believe me? Find what you consider the best poem ever and count the 1, 2, 3, and 4-syllable words. My favorite was "I shall carry them folded, in my back pocket." Simple, rhythmic, semi-original, a nice use of a comma.

Thanks, I'm a computer geek by trade and this poem is an attempt at reverse engineering. I started with the thought of a short-term bad relationship, previous girlfriend, and an emotional timeline. Just worked backward from there (I did use a thesaurus). It’s the same poem written 3 different ways hence the name. Thanks for the comments!

Take that to heart that they have realized the error of their Cliché ways. They are extending their vocabulary, trying to create the same meaning without using those selfsame words. It's a growing process. You're making me think so don't get me wrong. But as humans we have 5 senses, 6 if you're psychic. I couldn't tell you the exact number of emotions we are capable of, but it's a finite number. More often than not poetry runs along those basic themes. But if you mean writing something new to the effect of "The French-Fries day off" or "My bicycle decided to ride me today" I'll work on it, seriously. As far as the line goes, my favorite is Cascaded tears... Thanks for the comments, keep up the good work Z!

Boy George split his frenulum trying, Elton John ruptured his ringpiece trying, Rockmage grew a beard to hide his flabby colon because of trying, Paul Newman had three vertebrae removed trying, George Michael wore his ridge off trying, The Thompson Twins ejaculated blood trying, but none of these famous fags could surpass you in being a such a cuntishly big gay.

If you find it so soul-shriv'ling, why in Sodomy do you keep posting? You are a fool, zodiac. -=Dark_Angel=- has no interest in poetry. The only reason he came to this site was to mock. You, on the other hand, have dedicated your life to studying poemes. Perhaps that's why you find an amateur on-line poetry forum chock-full of dullards so soul-shriv'ling. But what the hell were you expecting?

The perception you have of yourself is so ridiculous, and so far from the truth, that any minute now your amazing zanyness will cave in on itself, staining all our terrified jodhpurs in a dreadful slurry of 'fascinating anecdotes about your way-beyond-the-extreme meth adventures.' And then, having based your entire personality upon telling everyone about drugs, and having based your entire poetic career upon a wanton smearing of tens by that UNPRECEDENTED DULLARD rockmage, your shrivelled prune of a body will come crawling back to me, weeping and begging for death. And I will look down upon you with granite eyes, the cold wind blowing through my golden locks as the sky turns wrathful overhead, and my jodhpurs fall, as if by magic, to the floor. And even as the torrents beat against my massive jaw, and the raging ocean crashes against ev'ry poop deck known to man, and even as you lie writhing like an urchin beneath another man's straining buttocks, the last remaining shards of your utterly drooping persona scattered like dung about the nest, even then that voice, that voice you know so well, will whisper to the chimes of a distant flushing outhouse: Bow'ls, my lad. Utter, utter bow'ls.

Hey, you get it.

Trying to understand DA is like trying to produce pure white pieces of shit from your arse. But hey, its doesn't hurt to try! But I wonder about the state of your health.. because 90% of his comments is.. well thats A LOT OF COMMENTS specially if you read the replies/insults/arguements that follow. You actually digesting that much material leads me to conclude that you have an odd obsession of the extreme sort... but everyone has their "thing". :)
