The Egotist....

He Thinks It's Fun to Just Resist,
He Shouts a lot and Waves His Fist...

Yay! for the Egotist,
Without a Doubt he Does Insist...
Hooray! For the Egotist.

He's Not Sure Why, but He's Really Pissed
Whoop-Dee-Doo! For the Egotist.

So Much in Life He's Surely Missed
Ignorance is bliss! For the Egotist.

No time for Repenting
They are too Busy Sinning
Malice, Mischief and Misery
Machines that Make a Glutton of Greed
So Easily Deceived You Would Not Even Believe
Buying and Selling what you Perceive
Lying and Telling You It's Just What You Need

Your Heart Is So Much Lighter Than a Feather
If You're Sad There's Never Sunny Weather
If You're Glad Then The Sunlight Stays Forever.

A Glance of Enchantment and a Touch of Visual Enhancement
Entranced in Amazement
Symmetrical Action, Intangible Fraction
Where it listens is where it talks
Space, Time, Paradox
Opening the Locks on Pandora's Box
If Hope Is Not Gone, All Is Not Lost

Like them a lot! Glad to see the art form of poetry is alive and well on the nexus! These two lines resonated particularly:



Also, this made me chuckle:


I wouldn't call that poem 'silly' at all. In fact, it's quite incisive IMO.

It's weird. I wrote a poem yesterday called "The Don." It bears a striking resemblance to "The Egoist".

An almost spooky resemblance in many ways. From the overall humorous tone, to the repetition of a phrase. Each stanza of The Don ends with 'Because you're the don'...each of The Egoist end's with 'For the egoist.' 'The Don' is also a stereotypical 'Egoist'. Spooky.

*cue Twilight Zone music.*

It's especially weird considering I hadn't written a poem in maybe a year.

I may PM you it at some point to show you what I mean. I am quite shy with sharing. May post it when the final draft is done.

Anyway, good work, thanks for sharing!

Always nice to have some poetry to compliment all the science

jdubs..

Cue effects, cue lights...

Cue Mr. Rod Serling>>>>
"For your consideration, a place in time, a thread if you will, where two human beings share similar rhymes and schemes, perhaps even similar hopes and dreams.....a place....where Hyperspace travelers' converge and details of alien civilizations emerge
....a place that exists in a little out of the way virtual cyber-world that can only be described as being a psychedelic off shoot of.....
..... THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

Hey thanks for the positive comments...
this is actually the first time I have ever shared my poetry like this.

I love watching the Old Black and White Twilight Zones while on a good Psychedelic Comedown..

Several episodes end with a phrase like......"But....this IS earth"


By the way feel free to PM me with your DON poem...sounds cool.

I don't know much about poetry but I liked those! And dunno if you noticed there's also a poetics thread here lots of cool stuff there too..

nitpicking: shouldn't "Your Sad/Glad" be "You're Sad/Glad" ?

daedaloops:

Thanks for the hint there(your,you're)...I was not paying attention in English class.

I did not notice the poetry thread...I'll check it out.

Take care ....I'm glad you like it.

Good stuff Really enjoyed it!

Thanks Walter.......
