Boredom Poems

I requested that a few friends make poem requests to end my relentless stagnation. I am actually surprised that it made me write. All in all, I feel that they are pretty good for an hour or so's worth of effort.

Jon requested an Epic Poem about himself being a super hero. I did not think that he realized that epic poems can be several books long... so here is a "snippet."

A story so bold is this
The greatest antihero of our time

So fine a lady she was
Walking home that night
The devil came swooping
Grave was her plight

Hands reach to silence
To an echo, her scream
Then, there she was
Fallen to his scheme

Smoke entered the alley
All at once, a terrible jolt
The eyes of a champion
Back lit with a bolt

His cape would flutter abruptly
His leap, uncompromised
The pain was intense
The jaw was prized

Struck and dazed he stumbled
A quick left struck his nose
He was left grasping blindly
Eyes watering he rose

A hasty retreat was quickly made
The woman lies dead
She should have known better
Where evil will tread

He escapes into the night
Following leads on the other
Always apathetic
Strike before he finds another.

Tiph requested a Ballad about "Monsters Eating Peanut Butter." I couldn't resist...

Love, such a love,
What is this thing I crave?
Peanut butter, peanut butter

A taste, just a taste,
So torturous I was ripped from the fey
Peanut butter, peanut butter

Meh-ow, I cry Meh-ow,
Your frightened face holds no sway
Peanut butter, peanut butter

Find, oh please find,
The courage to extend a hand
Peanut butter, peanut butter

Would you grant me this,
Small penance of trust?
Find it in your heart
To end my ravenous lust.
Reach out with your spoon,
Drop a speck,
And see it through!

A terrible fiend to some
A friend till the end
Can I live in your shoe?

Quiet too much quiet
How awkward is this moment
Peanut butter, peanut butter

Eyes, our eyes
They cannot separate
Peanut butter, peanut butter

Would you grant me this,
Small penance of trust?
Find it in your heart
To end my ravenous lust.
Reach out with your spoon,
Drop a speck,
And see it through!

By simply feeding me
You’re stuck with a friend.

Can I live in your shoe?
Can I live in your shoe?
Can I live in your shoe?
I need more food.
Can I live in your shoe?
I’ll live in your shoe.


Pawl wanted a Blank Verse regarding Quantum Entanglement. Heh, I liked this one.

Comprised in this chaos of particles,
Now entwined, betwixt the various states,
Pulled forth from the dimensional ether,
I am Alpha and I am Omega,
From these two I am indistinguishable,
Argue if you must, a labor of space,
For in philosophy, a paradox.
