 I have decided the time has come to replicate this masterpiece! It shall have, like its predecessor, 317 sonnets, 29 canzoni, etc, etc.,

but more importantly! Although the over-arching theme is fixed, it must have various subthemes to make up chapters.

The first two poems have been written. It is certain that six poems must be in Japanese, one in German, and most worryingly, one in Czech. I will do my best with that one.

I shall update this with progress to keep myself working on it- I would appreciate useful feedback, although I am anxious about, say, publishing my poems here, or indeed anywhere until I have had the sole copy bound and disposed of to the person who won't read it all the way through.

A theme I wish to devote a number of poems to is the evils of exposing one's forehead, the allure of bangs, and the enchanting symmetry of hair that has had order thrust upon it.

Why Czech?

:huh:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I'm suddenly reminded of the poet character in the short story "The Aleph".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

 Another has been done! The theme was selfless duty to the state & nation, and how it ultimately is the for the benefit of the so-called selfless patriot.

I grunt and groan
As I sit on my throne
As I sit and strain
Oh lordy, I'm in pain
Oh my god, it is blood
It flows like a flood
Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

A delightful sestet about the Tennessee Trot?

I regret it has no place in my delightful works.

However, it made me think of GIMME THE CHOCOLATE
and brought happiness to my day. Thank you kindly!

I shall now make tea :3

Lament of the Blueballs

Oh, the pain in my crotch!
Stop being a biotch!
Spread your legs my dear
I won't hurt you, have no fear
Or I can pound your sister in the ass
So stop giving me sass
Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

 Stalled out horribly trying to hit a fourth poem, this one about maids and their allure.


Edit: fourth poem cranked out! Doggerel to make a certain someone smile, and it worked in the pride of place bangs must command in any hair of merit.
