thread titles free verse

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

I found it cool that when I went to check the Open Topics forum, the first 3 thread titles made a sort of haiku thing (without the correct number of syllables though):

This morning I woke up to....
weekend in Vancouver
Hairless legs


I bet if you go way back you could find some poetic doozies of 3 thread titles that happen to be right next to each other. Anyone?....

[VeloVT]

From "Good Drivers":

Triplet #1
Another senseless incident...
Driver saw me, then hit me!
Maybe I'm looking a little too comfortable???

A new way to catch spiders
Deadlines!!!
Weather... oh dear

[Bad JuJu]

This one is from the bike maintenance thread, and I call it "Trouble Ahead":

I apologize in advance, but, in order right now from open topics:

the person below me
hairless legs





(I've apparently got the bead on juvenile posts today... promise I'll be nice again once finals are over...).

[VeloVT]

this is my penance... it's entitled, "dieter's supplication" (from open topics)

Thoughts and prayers please

Good thoughts and prayers...

[VeloVT]

this breaks the rule of three --
but, it's from the triathlon forum and it's called, "the path of the Buddha":

I'm alive!!!
Frustrated...

(sorry, after I finish my paper on post-Newt congressional partisanship I have to write about Hobbes... for the Hobbes class, we just read King Lear... I can't get the ideas of conflict, isolation, suffering out of my head :eek:!).

Ok... and having not been to Vancouver, can't say if this rings true at all, but:

Weekend in Vancouver...

Oh yeah! Vancouver has really cool shoe stores, like John Fluevog's and Gravity Pope, with wonderful creations that I'd buy in every colour were they not $300 a pop!

I love your poetry ladies, keep it coming! You really have a sense for the verses.

Brava, BSG!

Thanks! I like it too! :p

I love the way it also shows all the wild and varied things we obsess about! :D
Another plus is that it gets people searching out the old great threads- I've discovered some great buried info in some of the older threads while searching for 'poetry'.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

How about this one from the nutrition threads:

Healthy peanut butter balls
very fit and very fat!
Bonk recovery tips

:eek:, indeed! This literary text is vaguely reminiscent of picking out one's lobster at the lobster pound. Lobster pound = dog pound? Double :eek::eek:!
