You knew it was coming!! laugh.gif I shall open the thread with this:

 

GeddyFinal.gif Ode to Geddy's Shoes GeddyFinal.gif

 

Our Beloved Dirk has quite a quirk,

When his shoes go missing right before work....

 

He wanders around, muttering and sputtering,

And to play that night he is almost head-buttering!

 

You see, you see, our Ged simply cannot be,

Without his shoes is an impossibility.

 

He needs them to walk, he needs them to talk

He needs them to sway, and needs them to play

He needs them to sing A Farewell to Kings...

Which is a very, very important thing!

 

So when you see Dirk lost in his quirk,

Try to help him, so that he can work.

 

For you see, if Ged cannot be....

Then we will all be a sad sight to see.

My true literary masterpiece, of my Ged's two shoes

Shall open this thread, so let the poetry ensue!!

From my avant garde days wink.gif, here is a haiku I composed that I like to call: "For Neil."

 

he writes with his mind

laced with feelings born of pain

words that leave me weak

 

(did this on another site, but since *I* wrote it, I'll just copy and paste it here)

Here are a couple I've written that aren't so much ABOUT the boys as inspired by them or thier music in some way:

 

UNTITLED

 

Some days the pass is far to wide, the razor's edge too keen

To turn around and face the fear of future fates unseen

No more running, no more flight, the battle will begin

Against a monster deep inside, the enemy within

 

A weapon made of fear and rage to batter at the soul

The fear of hope, a rage at fate begin to take control

Then darker, darker spiral down, the way out is so far

Even for the dreamer who has learned to steer by stars

 

----------------------------------

 

UNDONE

 

Fingers ache to touch the fire

A heart is pierced by frozen spire

echoes sound - a haunted choir

A soul cut off from it's desire

 

Muted, trapped, and beaten down

No way out has yet been found

Only distance all around

To this rock my soul is bound

 

Mimicking what is observed

In twisting patterns most absurd

As understanding is disturbed

What is said is not what's heard

 

Like treasure under glass enshrined

Passions dim and passions shine

Yet I cannot touch what there I find

I hear it only in my mind

 

I need to share your simple grace

the smile that plays upon your face

But the barricades remain in place...

I'm rather proud of my debut in this thread,
but there is a special way in which it should be read.
Just take the first letter of every line,
and read them going down, then the answer you'll find.

Very creative, Madra my dear!

As I read that the answer became clear

 

Our wondrous board name on glorious display

in the words of your poem, hidden in sway smile.gif

On and on the rhymes come rolling along

and so we repeat them, just like the words of a song.

 

Tis glad I am we have all found such pleasure

in penning these verses of rhyme and measure

 

To bring us back to the topic of this poetry thread

I must (yes must) return to my Ged wub.gif

 

Who's talented bass lines and vocals so wonderful

Make my heart beat overtime and my own hands tremble

 

Its not simply his face that has this affect on me

But his talent and musicianship (that most* women don't see)

 

It's all of these things and yet it is more

But yet tis a dream, one held in great store

 

For I know he loves another and yes, so do I

But in dreams we can have each other, and so in dreams I can fly laugh.gif

 

*Disclaimer I say most in the sense that most women (who arent members of this board wink.gif ) dont see beyond his looks to see what a wonderful man and musician he truly is wub.gif

Lately a quite welcome trend has emerged upon this board,

a thread of verse intended to inspire the posting hoard.

Knees are bent in homage to Hudson's poetess

ever rapt in wordplay, each effort a success.

Secretely of course, it's a ploy that she will use,

in making Mr Lee an offer he certaintly can't refuse.

Doubtless when he reads her verse, he certainly will succomb,

effortlessly then, our laureate will have him under her thumb.

Many here will wonder "Of whom does he speak?",

all I'll say is closely look if the truth is what you seek.

In verse, as in all parts of life, the answers are concealed,

don't hesitate to investigate, all will be revealed.

Endless is the search, just like her ardent love for Geddy,

never giving up her quest, our heroine's always ready.

Madra, Madra, thank you my dear

If my words don't show him, then yours will quite clear

 

And so "Mr. Lee", if my words do so inspire

To spark within you such an eternal fire

 

And should this be one of my dreams brought right to life

I dont think I'd long remain my husbands lady wife rofl3.gif

 

Breaking from fantasy long enough to say

Thank you for brightening this otherwise dismal day laugh.gif

 

Friends you are dear and I'd not want to lose of you any

And I long for the day when we can gather and tip back many! trink38.gif

Generous amounts of accolades we have herein

Elevating my spirit from within

Doggedly pursuing my one true desire

Do I dare name what lights that fire?

Yet I dont think I need bring light upon his name

Love shines brighter than a bonfire's flame

Eternal grace bespoken through hands and voice

Elevates my soul, and wills my heart to rejoice

 

 

...how was that Madra? biggrin.gif
