_Spider

Liar, Liar sitting in a tree.

Lie to her. Lie to her.

One.

Two.

Three.

[Sanctus Spooki]

A trifling matter,
To regain my holy throne,
Rabble Rousers, stop.

_Please

Pray for me,

She said.

Play with me,

She said.

Prey on me,

She said.

And I did.

To put effort into the slow burn of life
Is all that could be asked of any one person
But instead I wish to pick up a knife
Before my life could inevitably worsen.

And here I type and think and feel
Very little if nothing at all
But alas it seems time won't heal
The scars and injuries from my fall.

[TwelveOf8]

Screw this melancholy edginess
This ain't myspace 2006
Such a whiny little mess
A little humour could really fix

Freestyle, flow, rock the boat
Natural style dance on in the freeway
Why not, what not, here have a goat
And give it up for that guy on the segway

_{Everywhere She Goes}

"Dark and dreary just isn't for Mary,"
He said.

"So Sue me,"
She said and shot her little lamb in its head.

This thread has lost its slam
And I need no diagram
To show you just where
Your poetic air,
Your empty rhyming gas,

Needs to be shoved,
(With a hand well gloved).
Right up your now slammed ass.

Sorry about any offense ^^;

After writing this I thought I better look up slam poetry....it turns out it isn't supposed to be people insulting each other through poetry, just competing... (I grew up with someone being 'slammed' being slang for being insulted, like 'burned', more commonly, is).

[TwelveOf8]

You shove up gas, i fart out genius
You can't possible hope to contain this
I rhyme all the time, ain't nobody can stop me
But I feel you, I am gettin kinda sloppy

No offence taken, couldn't care less
Cuz everybody already knows I'm already the best
To experiment and observe, that's my main mission
To prepare for epic and inevitable collision

So slam away baby, no need to get serious
My rhymes will leave you confused and delirious
I be fightin all you fools while ridin cloud nine
Ya'll better watch out cuz this world is mine

[FreeElk]

"The world is mine"
Said the boy of nine,
Not knowing the size of it.

"I'm big and mean"
Said the grumpy teen,
Not knowing when to quit.

Its a natural response
To try to ensconce,
The world with your great import.

But like your effluent gas,
Expelled from your ass,
Your words are an airy retort.
