Xirminator -> Collab Poetry & Other Things (1/7/2009 15:52:46)

Comments Thread

Some poetry I did with Ana_Maria on IRC. Lots of thanks to her for getting me to do it :P

quote:

* Ana_Maria just wrote two new poems :o
Xirminator: You're putting them in your thread?
Ana_Maria: Yes
Xirminator: nice
Ana_Maria: unless you think they too stupid to post
Xirminator: nope
Xirminator: I actually think they're genius
Xirminator: since I can't write a poem if I had 8 hours
Ana_Maria: yes you can
Xirminator: it would stupid though
Xirminator: it would be
Ana_Maria: Not necessarily
Ana_Maria: and cant be worse than mine
Xirminator: I never write poems. I don't know I just suck at writing them


Poets' Note: The above, inspired the below

"Teachin' Poetry: Just Try" by Ana_Maria && Xirminator

Ana_Maria: you dunno
Ana_Maria: not til you try
Ana_Maria: Just open your mind
Ana_Maria: and touch the sky
Ana_Maria: let your heart guide you

Ana_Maria: let the your soul think for you
Ana_Maria: Just write what ya feel
Ana_Maria: dont think about it too much
Ana_Maria: try not to rush

Ana_Maria: Just recall a passion
Ana_Maria: a friend
Ana_Maria: something that stirs emotion
Ana_Maria: and write til the end

Ana-Maria: Perhaps do notes
Ana_Maria: perhaps do story outline
Ana_Maria: Just get it down
Ana_Maria: Dont worry about rhyme

Ana_Maria: just like this freeverse
Ana_Maria: Im sure you cant do worse
Ana_Maria: this doesnt rhyme
Ana_Maria: just part of the time

Ana_Maria: Open your heart
Ana_Maria: let the emotion flow
Ana_Maria: Let your soul speak, let it all go
Ana_Maria: Its not that hard
Ana_Maria: really its not

Ana_Maria: just remember its for fun
Ana_Maria: for you
Ana_Maria: and you'll do fine

Xirminator: as long as you don't post it
Xirminator: i'm willing to try
Xirminator: and reach for that sky
Xirminator: but I'm afraid
Xirminator: That I might not make it

Ana_Maria: Im so happy you want to try
Ana_Maria: I realize that sky seems to far away
Ana_Maria: but its really not
Ana_Maria: not today

Ana_Maria: a little fear is good
Ana_Maria: but dont let it stop you
Ana_Maria: not from creating such art
Ana_Maria: open your soul and your heart
Ana_Maria: write what comes natural
Ana_Maria: and I'm sure it'll work out

Xirminator: that sky seems so far away
Xirminator: especially on this day
Xirminator: especially on this day
Xirminator: a great pain aches in my brain
Xirminator: and my inspiration is down the drain

Ana_Maria: but thats alright
Ana_Maria: its OK
Ana_Maria: at least you try
Ana_Maria: and that helps to reach that sky

Ana_Maria: some little thought
Ana_Maria: some feeling inside
Ana_Maria: perhaps something that's trying to hide?

Xirminator: I've never written poetry
Xirminator: that voice wants to escape me
Xirminator: but yet I did try
Xirminator: so perhaps I might find that sky
Xirminator: one day I might
Xirminator: and yes I tried

Ana_Maria: I think its great
Ana_Maria: your attempt so far
Ana_Maria: Making me smile
Ana_Maria: as I sit and think
Ana_Maria: of what more I can say
Ana_Maria: as I try to encourage

Ana_Maria: Aware some voice escapes
Ana_Maria: it happens to me too
Ana_Maria: Just do your best
Ana_Maria: and keep going

Xirminator: I feel like I'm stuck
Xirminator: like a sitting duck?
Xirminator: and I'm out of things to say
Xirminator: I'm hoping this will pay
Xirminator: and maybe I'll find that voice
Xirminator: and have a share of those joys

Ana_Maria: Tis bad luck
Ana_Maria: to get stuck
Ana_Maria: but like any Writer's Block
Ana_Maria: this too shall pass

Ana_Maria: Poeting is a pleasure of mine
Ana_Maria: a joy I enjoy
Ana_Maria: a real pastime
Ana_Maria: least for me
Ana_Maria: Im just happy you wish to try
Ana_Maria: and poet this little ditty with me

Xirminator: I admit I try
Xirminator: Although I'm afraid I'm no good
Xirminator: But I'm proud that I poeted this with you
Xirminator: At least you'll make me sound good

Ana_Maria: but you /are/ good
Ana_Maria: in your own right
Ana_Maria: you just needed someone
Ana_Maria: to shed some light

Ana_Maria: to help you see
Ana_Maria: how much fun poeting can be
Ana_Maria: hope to share this joy with you again
Ana_Maria: tis awesome to share this, with such a good friend




Xirminator -> RE: Collab Poetry (1/7/2009 15:53:53)

More, poetry, inspired by Ana_Maria's slow, yet reliable internet, and my extremely fast, yet useless internet. :P

The Race, the Test: Fast paced net vs the slow Dial Up by Xirminator && Ana_Maria

My internet's fast as a hare
It'll race yours anytime
Only if you dare
And you'll see which is better in no time

My internet is slow like tortoise
perhaps more like molasses
doesnt go anywhere too fast
so patience is key

Mine would leave yours behind
Leave it to see the dust
You won't see it on rewind
but huff, puff mine's already feeling bust

Slow and steady the course
Wont win any medals, of course
Continuing on, same montone rate
Perhaps this, is my slow fate

But oh my I' winning
But now I must sit down
Running like this is tiring
and a snooze now would help me run

Slow and steady, slow and steady
Nice monotone pace
at this rate, I may lose face
Cause surely I, wont win this race

Oh this dream is so nice
That tortoise will never get near
That tortoise was not so wise
to challenge an internet like a hare

oh my oh my, what do I see
I see that fast net,
snoozing under the proverbial tree
I seem to be "passing" it now
though I dont see how
I suppose that ping is something
it'll soon regret

I'm thinking maybe I should wake up
But I bet there's still time
I know that I could twice overlap
A slowpoke tortoise like thine

Slow and steady
no YouTube here
Seems I'm slow, thats all I hear
Gotta finish, this I know
that download seems important
my owner, I must show

Now time to check
if that slowpoke's stuck
I look around behind me
and there I see nobody
he surely can't be that slow
But I care not, time to resume the show

Slow and steady, just a few more bytes to go
Not sure how long it took
but my task, I shant forsake
Getting that big file
little by little, I'm not in denial
Took me quite awhile
but I think my owner will agree
it was all worthwhile

I run and I run, fast as a hare
but how can it be?
That slow net is right over there
so far ahead of me?
I thought it was slow
I guess that snooze my chances did blow
Now that slow tortoise I must follow

scanning now
no bad sectors, in this file
little by little, it was gotten
My task, I hath not forgotten
Like the little engine who could
I got that file, and didnt stop til I should
Finished in record time for me
Forever slow, forever me

And I am so late
I guess I should have not stopped
There's still so many a byte
My owner's temper has popped
he's not happy with me
I was very late and he's right
I shouldn't have let the connection drop

silly ping and silly peer
silly cable, that stopped for root beer
Was only a track of three mile
or perhaps a three meg file
this I know, either way
I seemed to have proved today
speed isnt always best
for when put to the test
reliability didnt rest
I may apologize for being slow
but my job's done, thats all I know

I should apologize for being late
I have to stop taking breaks at this rate
But apparently I just pinged
or maybe I simply peer'd
In any case I failed
My reputation is derailed

slow as molasses
steady the course
I got it done
but took a lot of time

Oh I'm trying to reconnect
I admit fast is not perfect
What's important is you keep at it
Even if takes a bit
