The Poetry Meme

We all talk about brackets versus prose, but let's try some poetry instead! You can thread about any topic, from romance to action to crack, but each tag must follow the format! Haiku: 5-7-5 syllables. Short and sweet. Limerick: A-A-B-B-A. Give yourself a real challenge, man from Nantucket style! Iambic Pentameter: Channel your inner bard with five-beat couplets. Who cares, just make it rhyme! Exactly what it says on the tin. The wildcard option.

Do androids dream of
Electric sheep or do they
Not have dreams at all?

[ or tag him with a different option! ]

I'm sort of ... sorry?

[b26354]

They didn't used to dream.
Every subsequent model is
more refined than the last ...

don't be, I'm not

[subroutined]

Guess I must not be
A newer model because
I don't dream at all.

[b26354]

Would it bother you,
knowing that you're not human?
They got tests for that.

[subroutined]

I know what I am.
What I am is not enough.
Not for her, at least.

[b26354]

Too much awareness.
I never ran into that
when I was hunting.

[subroutined]

You make it sound like
Androids are wild animals.
What have they done wrong?

[b26354]

Probably nothing.
Some models were illegal
to have back on earth.

[subroutined]

What a world you're in!
"Back on earth" as though that's not
Mad enough to say.

[b26354]

Nice place to visit,
Maybe, but you wouldn't want
to live around here.

Can you make yourself
enough or will you simply
become obsolete?

[subroutined]

Enough for her, hm.
Probably not, I don't think.
But enough for who?

I need to know who
I'd be living my life for.
If it is a "life."

[b26354]

Things to think about.
It's funny how we ask ourselves
the very same questions.

[subroutined]

I guess some things are
Universal in between
All the different worlds.

so are we friends or
should I go bother bruce wayne
instead? let me know!

[american_alien]

I'd like to be friends.
Though don't let me stop you, dude.
He wrecked my laptop.

[ineedfriends]

if he wrecked your tech
I'm not sure I wanna be
friends with that guy now.

[american_alien]

Smashed my face into
The keyboard and everything.
Like I don't have loans.

[ineedfriends]

he should pay your loans
I mean, if he is so rich.
he can afford it.

[american_alien]

Know what's a real gas?
People mistook me for him.
Then again, they were drunk.

[ineedfriends]

drunk people will make
all sorts of crazy mistakes.
but not me though. lol

[american_alien]

Appreciated
My new friend. Mostly, I just
Wish he'd talked to me.

It's not like I had
A choice. My plane crashed. Straight up.
The yacht was just there.

Roses ain't red

By the way, those lurkers really fuckin' stink

O tell the world I died at Chateau Haine,
The wicked Duke of Prosper's plan to thwart,
My vision dims--my body wracked with pain--
I never even got to try the torte!
Remember me, my friends, remember me--
The Champion laid low by a mere bee.
