Dot's Poetry Corner
"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!
Me First...
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 THIS WEEK:
Good luck,
everyone! Keep in touch!
-a tribute to Startek

this showed up in my inbox from Whitney, and I had to post it cos
I miss her and Jason too, and just cos it's really really cool!
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

Annie Blues
Princess Deedz gives us this
loving ode to her Empress--you really need a kazoo for backup to get the
whole experience!
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
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.

filking fun, with Andrea, queen of Ratlove, Empress of Ratfilk, and one
of the most stalkerlicious Nickfans I know!

please email and let me know if it's okay, or if you want them removed,
or what!
Just a click of the mouse will bring you to a whole host of Forever

and poems for me. If you're a fan of the original "Angel", you're
bound to enjoy these!

Barkley sent these to me, and he's right, number three is the funniest!
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

intend to write!

X
Angie gives good free verse,
even if it's accidental, and she shares the pain of a cancelled series...
FBI MAN
My good friend Chad has stepped
into the filk arena with a re-write for Mulder of an ABBA rarity!
It's A
Mulder Thing
It certainly is! Another filking foray from Chad, who's Spooky repetoire
rocks my world!
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!
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...
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!

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.
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!
Mulder

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"

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
