In The Poetry Chat Room Poem by Michael Burch

WHY SHULD I LERN TO SPELL?
HELL,
NO ONE REEDS WHAT I SAY
ANYWAY! ! ! : (

Sing for the cool night,
whispers of constellations.
Sing for the supple grass,
the tall grass, gently whispering.
Sing of infinities, multitudes,
of all that lies beyond us now,
whispers begetting whispers.
And i am glad to also whisper...

I WUS HURT IN LUV I'M DYIN'
FER TH' TEARS I BEEN A-CRYIN'! ! !

i abide beyond serenities
and realms of grace,
above love's misdirected earth,
i lift my face.
i am beyond finding now...

I WAS IN, LOVE, AND HE SCREWED ME! ! !
THE JERK! ! ! TOTALLY! ! !

i loved her once, before, when i
was mortal too, and sometimes i
would listen and distinctly hear
her laughter from the juniper,
but did not go...

I JUST DON'T GET POETRY, SOMETIMES.
IT'S OKAY, I GUESS.
I REALLY DON'T READ THAT MUCH AT ALL,
I MUST CONFESS! ! ! ; -)

Travail, inherent to all flesh,
i do not know, nor how to feel.
Although i sing them nighttimes still:
the bitter woes, that do not heal...

POETRY IS BORING.
SEE, IT SUCKS! ! ! , I'M SNORING! ! ! ZZZZZZZ! ! !

The words like breath, i find them here,
among the fragrant juniper,
and conifers amid the snow,
old loves imagined long ago...

WHY DON'T YOU LIKE MY PERFICKT WORDS
YOU USELESS UN-AMERIC'N TURDS? ! ! !

What use is love, to me, or Thou?
O Words, my awe, to fly so smooth
above the anguished hearts of men
to heights unknown, Thy bare remove...
