Kite-flyers running the rim of a hillside
Love it !
Is that a poster which costs 3000 in some unit of currency, or a series 3000 poster, or a poster displaying the number 3000?
I like the simplicity.
A bit like a pimple poem, schoolboy insecurities.
I gather it is about being in the army, makes you sound a little wimpy.
The verses are redundant as this is a piece of prose.
I could identify with certain of your points though -7-
the last one, I seem to forget what you were supposed to rhyme the last line with.
Other than that good rhythm, and in the spirit of a limerick
great clarity, you are obviously a man who has no trouble grappling with your immense intellect.

I'll give you a seven. It would be a straight 10 if it were a bit more vague, obscure, and imperceptible.

I thought you couldn't stand pretentious people. What are you doing being one?
Rich, I trust it's me...but I gotta tell ya...ya lost me after the first line. Deep or far out...I'm not sure which one is applicable here.

Anyone could write that.
You lie.
Since there had been some dispute over the merit of this poem, I would like to explain why I wrote it:
a)Eggs provide a tasty, nutritious and versatile snack. They can be prepared in a great variety of different ways, e.g. boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, barbequed, fermented, etc.
b)The standard chicken egg is ejected from the chicken's only orifice (not including beak).
c)Aside from chicken eggs, several other types of egg are delightfully entertaining, e.g. quail eggs, dinosaur eggs, etc.
d)Sick, slime-oozing eggs are also laid by aliens, possibly some kinds of mutants, and to a lesser extent, insects.
e)There are many amusing egg-based puns which can be made, especially during the run-up to Easter.
f)Eggs are just obviously excellent.
g)Egg.
h)The theme tune from Monkey Magic contains the line "They were born from an egg on a mountain top".
i)The egg is a much more efficient method of spawning oneself than giving birth to live young.
j)If you don't like eggs, then you are gay.
k)How could you possibly not think a poem about an egg was great?
l)The sound "Egg" is also present in a number of respectable names such as Egbert and Eggnlebert Humpledink.
m)They make admirable projectiles.
n)Q.E.D.
This poem is totally rad!
This poem raises the interesting question of whether there is an upper limit to angriness. If there was, it would probably be determined by the size of your brain.
Writing a poem that is one syllable short of A haiku is sheer genius. 10
I simply adore the way you blatantly ponder the relevance in defining style. That, and my honey fetish allowed me to vote high for this regardless of the style spanking pieces.
