I love you
With the power of a million duelcore processors
If only you knew
I would so too
Wish it was simpler at our cores
I love you
I wish I could coo
And calm and ease your horrors
If only you knew
We wish we could boo
And banish all those thoughts from the vast dark moores
I love you
Our futures are spinning wildly in two
Our past flowing blindly behind towards
If only you knew
And as I wish I could explain all the reasons to
You so you could understand the hours
I love you
If only you knew

Line Enjambent and Caesura
1.
Is there a tune more happy
than a daughter’s windchime laugh?
A silence more crushing
than her rolling tear?
Is there a breeze more cooling
than a son’s slumbered sigh?
A thought more awesome
than the question that he asks?
And is there a truer joy
when I am the clown?
Shame
when I accuse and rage?
Peace
when I pull up the sheet?
Pride
when I strike the flint?
I made these kids
and I make these kids.
And they make me.
2. Cannibalism by performance artist
In 1988 performance artist Rick Gibson
became the first person in British history
to legally perform an act of cannibalism
by eating a canapé of donated human tonsils
in Walthamstow High Street,
London, England.
A year later he publicly ate
a slice of legally purchased
human testicle
in Lewisham High Street,
London, England.
When he tried to eat another slice of
human testicle
in Vancouver, Canada in 1989,
he was stopped by the police.
However,
the charge was dropped
and he finally ate a testicle
hors d'oeuvre in Vancouver in 1989.

Modernism
1. Word Puzzle Python Programming
Mystring = mydreams
While I type I think of how:
One day I might master this art
If one day this art is mastered:
I may be able to reach my goals
If I am never deterred:
Maybe I can create a masterpiece
That can bring joy to the world
Print = mydreams
2. Modernism The Ballad of Sirius Black
He is a cat about the size of a large turtle
With whiskers out beyond his cheeks
He bounds along the patio at dawn
Waiting to come in he sits and licks his paw
His ears twist to face a sound
He bounds towards it
I wake up to see it
Facing me in fear while Sirius watches it distrustfully
I salute Sirius for his bravery
I throw the vermin back outside
Sirius stands confused
I change my pillowcase.

Elegy
Oh Doctor how I did love you.
You were the best I had ever known
They always say "in with the new"
But you were the best I had ever known!
Your accent filled me with glee
And I always secretly wished I could be
Your companion and we could travel and see
The universe in all it's glory
But you had to save that old guy
As the prophecy fortold you would
we had always known the end was neigh
And you were so, so old.
Why did you have to die?
That episode really did make me cry
Why couldn't you make some other guy die?
Instead of your tenth regeneration?
I guess I have to get used to you
being gone to make room for the new guy
I guess Matt Smith is pretty cool too
He's got a pretty cool bow tie
At least he's still quite British
For you to be back would be my one wish
But I know there are many more fish
In the sea for me to watch.

Metrical Breaks and Line Variations
Poem 1:
To college I must go
And scholerships I must find
To learn all I should know
To leave my old life behind me.
I changed the last one to a different meter to show the falling apart of the old life.
Poem 2:
To college I must go
scholerships I must go find for it
To learn all I should know
To leave my old life behind me
I switched it back and fourth so it sounded cool. :D

Awkward Sonnet
I miss you when you are not around me
This is not a familiar feeling
Who thought you would be my lovely key
To cause my outer shell to start peeling
When once I used to not crave afection
I always happen to want it from you
I always see you as a perfection
Though you would never seem to want me to
Perhaps you would think it silly of me
To think of you in this way so strongly
I think of you as love's epitome
But I also know not to go quickly
Perhaps I will just smile in your direction
I will show my amount of affection
This is not a familiar feeling
Who thought you would be my lovely key
To cause my outer shell to start peeling
When once I used to not crave afection
I always happen to want it from you
I always see you as a perfection
Though you would never seem to want me to
Perhaps you would think it silly of me
To think of you in this way so strongly
I think of you as love's epitome
But I also know not to go quickly
Perhaps I will just smile in your direction
I will show my amount of affection

Long Words For Simple Concepts
Trochaic Tetrameter
A hamster Journeys at midnight
It's stubby tail wiggles with glee
He is raring for a big fight
I wonder if he's coming for me
With malace in his face growing
there can be no good outcome now
I see that I have always known
Tonight will be the night I die.
Anapestic Tetrameter
The fight was set for tonight and I just can't look
The hamster is coming to reclaim lives I took
He's advancing on me rapidly and very hard
I'm quite honestly surprised by the lump of lard
Oh dear he's quite close now to eating all my face
I wonder if I still have that tiny bottle of mace
He's on me now and there is not much left to do
I guess there is no more time left to stage a coup
I beg of thee dear maiden hamster to spare thee
I always did hope you did really Truely love me

Blogging About Blogging: Blogception, we have to go deeper
Blogging is a sort of foreign reach of the internet to me. But it really all depends on what you count as blogging. To me Twitter updates and Facebook statuses could all be considered blogging, assuming you say more than "going to eat lunch". If you do count that than I guess I blog a ton. I've always had an interest in perhaps bloggin one day, but it feels vaugely narcissistic to expect anyone to want to read it. Who would be interested in someone with a life not any more interesting then their own. What would I even blog about? But I digress, self asteem issues aside, blogging seems fun, and I'm excited to do it.
