"Thou
reader throbbest life and pride and love the same as I,
Therefore
for thee the following chants."
-Walt Whitman
Ah, poetry, the workings of
the mind without the constraints of proper grammar, diction or
punctuation.
The rules are, there are no rules. If it doesn't make sense, just
call it free verse!
The following are my own, my
friends' and our thoughts...Enjoy!
Poems by Mick:
A
Break Up
Song
Yay! I have a Mick poem!
All
the explanations and disclaimers are on the page, so I'll just say it's
M/K, and now get your ass over there and read it--it's fantastic!
A Make Up
Song
Double Yay! The only thing
yummier
than a Mick
poem is a Mick
poem sequel! More poignant M/K-Go! Go now!
I Sewed All
Night
(aka Paige's new hit)
If
you
haven't heard anything from Paige Davis Page and the Haywallers, then
you
don't know what you're missing; a Trading Spaces song filk from the
mighty Mick!
I Enjoy
(Being
A Guy)
Ah, it is all about the
guys,
isn't it? Of course, this filking ode by Mick made me
think of that
line
from Friends: "I can't believe my parents are pressuring me to marry
one
of you!" The filk itself is genius though!
Sexy Haikus
You can't go wrong with
Haiku...this
is what happens when you're trying to find a new way to write the same
old orgasms, and a brilliant bunny steps in to help you. This could
also
be known as the poetic version of Road Rage chapter 12
Gay Ducks In
Canada
a new moment of genius in the ever growing always brilliant Mik-filk
collection. Enjoy!
Life Slices
by Mik (a day in 78
words)
oh, and by the way, if you
didn't
know it by now, this guy is a genius!
Filk by Andrea:
Click on sexy winking Nick, and
you open up a whole wide world of
filking fun, with Andrea,
queen of Ratlove, Empress of Ratfilk, and one
of the most stalkerlicious Nickfans I know!
Haikus:
A paean
(well,
two haikus, really) to winter in North Carolina...
from PsychGirl's
Journal
From the
Pride
Week Writer's Workshop....
comes this collection of haikus. The challenge was to choose a
body
part or more than one and write! Genius ensues....

and dangerous poetic slash journey

A
tasteful and only a little bitter poem on the weekend before Easter
from
the queen of the banners!
Scottish
Nose
Fountain-A Haiku
This is what happens when
you
make a talented writer spit up laughing on the X-OK list! Thanks, Livia,
and welcome to the list!
Haikus
for Skinner
by the cat with
green wings
reprinted here without permission, only because I found these
and
other haikus at Down In The Basement, which didn't have email addresses
for the cat with green wings...so cat, if you stumble across this page,
please email and let me know if it's okay, or if you want them removed,
or what!
Poems by Laurie:
Just a click of the mouse
will bring you to a whole host of Forever
Knight goodness courtesy of Laurie of the Isles,
who included both
stories
and poems for me. If you're a fan of the original "Angel",
you're
bound to enjoy these!
Filk by J.D. Rush:
Mulder
Ah, darling J.D. finally
found
her way to the M/Sk dark side, earned herself a fox for It Takes All
Kinds,
and of course, made a goddess very very happy with this filk of Lola
My Frohike
A filk for our Gunman, by J.D.Rush. Goes
with Super Geek, and
now
we want our Byers song, lady! *L*
Super Geek
The companion piece to My Frohike, by J.D.Rush--enjoy,
I know
I
did!
I Want
Byers
"Byers in a suit there's
nothing
better..." Ain't that the truth! The third part of the trilogy J.D.
didn't
intend to write!
Poems and Filk by Jason:
Mulder
Slash
I
found
this little gem almost complete in the back of one of my notebooks.
It's
a filk from Ed
Delicious, and I tacked on the last verse just to get it
posted--thanks Jason!
Jason's
poems
aka the musings of Ed Delicious
I must admit, I love the bleak humour in these, almost as much
as
I love the man who wrote them!
My
First
Sonnet. (be kind)
More twisted thoughts from the man who brought you "X-Chained
Melody"
Sherlock Haikus
in response to a ThinkGeek haiku about bacon
Suits Haikus
who seems suspiciously obsessed with Donna!
Poems by Deedz: A
Dirty Poem
by Princess
Deedz
No, really, it's dirty, and the kind of thing we get to hear
at
brunch all the time...made Angie blush, though!
Firestarter
An ode to a special someone,
by Princess Deedz
De
Empress
Annie Blues
Princess Deedz
gives us
this
loving ode to her Empress--you really need a kazoo for backup to get
the
whole experience!

These
are my own thoughts, mostly angsty, but my poetry seems to all come
from
the darkest part of my soul. Makes for good therapy, even if I do
have to write them with crayon, just in case...oh, and did I mention I
love rewriting songs?
NEW FROM ME THIS WEEK:

P.P.P
by Gizzie,
written a long time ago in an X-Galaxy far far
away...
DD In
The Bakery
Gizzie wrote
this little
gem,
and, in the words of Ross from Friends, "I don't know if I'm horny or
hungry."
Just For
Gizzie (filk)
Lisby
wrote this filk in a fit of inspiration, and if you knew
our
Giz the way we do, you'd understand; "naghover..." You slay me too,
Giz!
Backshadowing
A love poem of sorts by Pete,
aka Skunk Arse, who we had hoped to see again someday--we miss all the
meeping and purring...
A
Father Inside
A poem I got from the gaysask list, by Jamie, reprinted
here
without
permission, but I never heard from him. It's beautiful, though, and if
you see it, Jamie, let me know if you mind!
Normalcy
From a book of poems Marc
shared
with me. They're all great, but I like the optimistic flavor of this
one.
The End
of the
X
Angie
gives good free
verse,
even if it's accidental, and she shares the pain of a cancelled
series...
Alone
found this poem for Mulder Down In The Basement, and thought
it
was great! If you think it's great, too, let Adrienne aka Lady of
Rage
know!
The
Tasteful Al Rae Poetry Collection
Kai
sent
these to me under the guise of quotes for famous last words, but
really,
they're poems, so here they are
Cliche
Juice
this
poem
by David Duchovny
is reprinted here without permission, since I
wouldn't
know how to get a hold of him to ask.
Strange
Flesh
by Susan Jameson--a
beautiful love poem that ties directly
into
her triangle story series, which I hightly recommend you read over at imadethis.org-Thanks
for letting me post this, Suse!
Meowy
X-Mas said
Jesus's cat, Sprinkles
Dallas sent
this to Curt, who passed it along to me, and it is
just
too beautifully disturbing not to post, so I asked Dallas, and he
said
I could!
Pen
My very favorite dumbf**k berry farmer sent this to me in a
moment
of need, and I'm posting it to tell him we need him too! Love you, Nichy!
Double
Dong Entendre
Jeff B.,
formerly known as
that
Pilsner guy, read this poem at the annual AIDS Benefit one year, and I
was captivated-so much so that I got good and drunk, put on six inch
platform
shoes, and begged him to let me post it. And here it is.
Naughty
Nursery
Rhymes
Barkley
sent these to me, and he's right, number three is the
funniest!
There
Was A Young Man Named Fox...
by lush virtues.
This is an NC17 X-Files slash tale told
completely
with limericks-you don't get much more original than that!
You
Know
About Fox and the Chair
a sequel to There Was A Young Man Named Fox...more NC17 fun
'n'
games with a rhyme scheme from
lush virtues!
Lois's Lament
A poem from Neal
that tells you more than Margot and
Christopher
ever could! Brilliant, in that kryptonite way!
The
Empress is A Tramp (filk)
This
is
the number that my good friend Buster did at
Investitures in
Calgary-he's
so talented. Now if only that power could be used for good and not
evil...
Choices
I got a friend's permission
to
post this beautiful but sad song, and I always wonder when I read it,
if
that's really what was going on in his head, and who the key figures
are.
Thanks, Jae!
do you
really
beLIEve
This is another one of Jae's
songs. Let him know if you like his stuff as much as I do!
Inside/Regret
Wulfster's
angst. He has discovered a deep well of
creativity
in himself, and I am showcasing some of it here.
Abandon
Okay,
okay,
already, it's posted. Sheesh, you'd think he was an emperor or
something;
more Wulfster-angst
Curt's
non-existent
poem.
I got my story, and a sequel, and the tee shirt! This poem
still
makes me giggle, though
I
Am
Inspired
by a certain patriotic commercial (see if you can guess which one)-did
I mention Electra
Storm rocks my world?
