LakesideMaiden Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 You knew it was coming!! I shall open the thread with this: Ode to Geddy's Shoes 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.

GhostGirl Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 From my avant garde days , 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LerxstLady Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 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...

madra sneachta Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I'm rather proud of my debut in this thread, but there is a special way in which it should be read.

LakesideMaiden Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 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 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 *Disclaimer I say most in the sense that most women (who arent members of this board ) dont see beyond his looks to see what a wonderful man and musician he truly is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Breaking from fantasy long enough to say Thank you for brightening this otherwise dismal day 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!
